Shit man, with your infinite wisdom in drafting Veach should call you up and offer you a lead scout role.
Actually he should probably just resign and let you take over as GM. I mean what has he done other than orchestrate 5 straight AFC championship games (all at home) 3 super bowl appearances with 2 wins.
That obviously pales in your keyboard greatness. [Reply]

This guy is literally competing with Nazi Johnson for one of the last roster spots.
Careful!
Nazeeh does not like to be called Nazi :-) [Reply]

It's so far down in the draft that I don't know shit about either. But if Veach passed, and so did the next 9 teams, there's something off the field that's a problem, or you're just wrong. [Reply]

It’s so ridiculous that you feel like you have any insight into this when the guy went undrafted.
See, I didn't even know that, but if he was on 'Last Chance U' that tells me that yeah, there's something wrong enough there that nobody wanted to draft him.
So in a battle of guys I've never heard of, I'll take the kid that's not a problem. [Reply]

From your statement, it is literally you who is acting like you know why he wasn't drafted. I have no idea why he wasn't drafted, but I know that on the football field he was better than Nic Jones. Wright played better against better competition.
It is amazing how gatekeepers convince themselves that they are superior because they don't speak out when they disagree with something the team does.
I loved the FAU pick, and despite being confused as to why we traded up for Rice, I really like Rashee Rice. I also really like Morris.
Veach is the same guy that drafted BoPete Keyes and Joshua Kaindoh. Yet, gatekeepers act like not liking a player drafted by Veach is sacrilegious. [Reply]
