Yea completely ridiculous to expect Veach to match those guys drafts when he had a late pick and no 1st.
Veach’s draft wasn’t that bad all things considered. It’s his two big free agent signings that have been disappointing. |

The guys Veach drafted 2018 just need to develop and get playing time. I didn't have high expectations we didn't have any high draft picks.
Dee Ford first year was a lost soul but he worked hard to learn the game and i think it was harder for him to "get it" but he finally "got it". Veach is doing something right we have a bye week in the playoffs with HFA. |

Speaks is definitely a disappointment at this point. That being said, he really hit on Tremon Smith IMHO and the trade for Ward looks like it might pay out. |

If we are going on a 10 year "Bellicheck/NE" type of a run, we just need to keep the core. Is our core of Mahomes/Reid/Hill comparable to Bellicheck/Brady/Gronk, enough for that 10 year run?

Also, the Browns and Colts had tons of holes to fill. Dorsey/Ballard were just more likely to draft immediate contributors. |

K-Pass, OTOH, is a bust in a 3-4 and needs to be traded if we keep the scheme. |

It's pretty clear that we've been having difficulty finding edge players who can contribute right away (or possibly ever).
However, it has to be hard to be a "developmental" guy as an edge in a 3-4. That may be the most difficult position on a defense ... first to learn and then to execute. If a player isn't blessed with an elite get-off or some incredible combination of straight line speed and power, the technique required to beat pro tackles takes time to acquire. And of course, there's also the run- and coverage-defense aspects. I try to remain patient with developmental players and just hope the damn coaches know what they're doing. I admit that I have to laugh every time I see Speaks faceplant after getting his legs cut by the LT. I was specifically told he's never "on the ground". FAX |

I will say this about Speaks:
He's no KPass. SMH |

They've also got 2 really good OLB's ahead of them.
Kpass has been a healthy scratch this year, so I'm guessing he's not a chief next year. |

We also have tons of holes, Veach just failed to address most of them.

Kpass looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. Speaks looks like a 40 year old fatass Jane and plays like it too. |
