I think we'll see a shift away from pure measurables and SPARQ scores; fewer combine warriors, perhaps. There will be some positives to take from that, but there will be some negatives as well.
Veach will take Speaks and his higher floor over K-Pass and his higher ceiling and sometimes that will work out better for us. But Veach may also be less inclined to gamble on Kelce or Hill; may not be as likely to take an LDT.
I'll concede that Dorsey approached the draft a little too 'scout heavy' at times. He got a little too drooly with guys who could turn into stars if 20 different things broke right and maybe looked past some basic immediate team-building considerations. But g'damn did he have an eye for those gems and there's an argument to be made that it made the rest of the quibbles worth it.
I still wouldn't have fired him. He deserved the opportunity to see it through with this team and I see no reason to believe he couldn't have done a great job going forward.
