Interesting his dad had the same plan as Veach for what it's worth.

Bad pick, but who cares?
It's a throwaway pick with albeit minimal upside... Now is not the time to whine over gamble picks |

Eh they can talk about him being a first round guard and whatnot, but it’s still pretty meh taking a dl and asking him to move to guard. He hasn’t played guard for a while and didn’t play it in college.
That’s a year or two of likely transition. It was a 6th round pick so it’s a good swing and it may work out as they have more knowledge about him than we do but I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t work |

Holy shit, guys. Breaking new hot take here! O.Shitty says he won't be surprised if a DL guy transitioning to an OL position doesn't work! Like, if Mackenzie goes at it but then gets cut because the coaches just decide he can't hack it, O.Shitty won't be shocked that took place! Holy ****ing crap! I mean, I know I personally thought Veach was GUARANTEEING that we'd have a new starting LG in Mackenzie at some point, and that he'd be really good! That's why he spent a whopping ****ing 6th round pick on him, after all! And that's gotta be what everybody else thought too, I'm sure. When you first heard the idea that the guy was going to play G instead of DL, I know we all thought, "Well, obviously, because barring catastrophic injury, there's no way this guy doesn't succeed at something he's never played!" But then here comes O.Shitty. I mean, holy ****ing shit guys. I'm going to go blow my goddamn brains out. Can you ****ing believe this shit? He won't be SURPRISED IF A 6TH ROUND PICK TRANSITIONING TO A POSITION HE'S NEVER PLAYED BEFORE WON'T WORK OUT?!!!!!!!!!! What the ****?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? |

How is this any different from when teams take basketball players late in the draft to play TE? Those are almost always high upside picks late in the draft.

Is the learning curve any worse than drafting a guy whose football practices were conducted in French? Hell, the guy didn't even play football. He played Canadian football. How about taking a tackle and saying, "Nah. You're gonna play center." That's what we did with Mitch Morse, and yeah, he had experience at C, but we also took him in the 2nd, not the 6th. What about all the ****ing QBs over the years who were drafted with mid round picks and immediately moved to WR? It's a 6th round pick. Would I have drafted Mackenzie, much less traded up for him? Provably not. But the pick has upside, which is all you can ask for out of guys taken in the 6th and beyond |
