How do you know this? This doesn't even have a ring of truth to it...but I guess if you say so...

44-54-1 is not a bad record at all for a Service Academy and all the restrictions that go along with recruits to them.

You do know that Jim Johnson died at the age of 68?

Lets keep it real Veach came into a great situation that is making him look really good, possibly better than he actually is.
Its a whole lot easier being GM of the Chiefs w Reid, Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, Chris Jones etc. than it is a team that would be trying to rebuild from scratch. |

Player for player trades: 1. Eric Murray for Emanuel Ogbah: Homerun 2. Parker Ehringer for Charvarius Ward: Homerun 3. Alex Smith for Kendall Fuller, 3rd round pick that turned into Nnadi: Homerun. 4. Carlos Hyde for Martinas Rankin: Homerun Draft picks for player trades: 1. 1st & 2nd for Frank Clark: Homerun 2. 4th for Reggie Ragland: Solid contributor and part-time starter. 3. 5th for Cam Erving: Decent depth. 4. 6th for Jordan Lucas: Solid depth. 5. 6th for Darren Lee: Whiff. Other teams Practice Squad: 1. Harrison Butker: Homerun Major Free Agents: 1. Tyrann Mathieu: Homerun 2. Sammy Watkins: Starter, major contributor that came up big in big games. 3. Anthony Hitchens: Starter, major contributor, albeit overpaid. 4. Alex Okafor: Starter, very good player before injury. 5. Bashaud Breeland: Starter, major contributor, came up big several times. 6. Damien Wilson: Dang close to a homerun. Easily our best linebacker. 7. Xavier Williams: Whiff Low Level Free Agents: 1. Damien Williams: Homerun, fits the offense, came up big in big games. 2. Mo Claiborne: Emergency depth. 3. Chad Henne: Solid backup and veteran presence. 4. LeSean McCoy: Emergency depth, filled in effectively during Williams' injury. 5. Austin Reiter: Starter, replaceable but got the job done. 6. Andrew Wylie: Part-time starter, replaceable but did his part. Off the Couch: 1. Mike Pennel: Homerun. 2. Stefan Wisniewski: Homerun 3. Matt Moore: Homerun Waiver Wire: 1. Terrell Suggs: Exactly what we needed at exactly that moment. Draft: Veach has had two drafts and a total of 12 picks, including zero 1st round picks. Of those 12 picks, 10 are still with the team. McKenzie has been the only wasted pick. Tremon Smith contributed as a 6th round pick on Kick returns. Breeland Speaks is the key to the 2018 draft, as Nnadi is the only top line player from the class. The 2019 draft has yielded four major contributors and one rookie starter. All four are probably future starters in Hardman, Thornhill, Saunders, and Fenton. Again, four potential starters with no first round pick. So I don't know what criteria you are using to evaluate Veach's performance but I think you might be missing the boat. Dude did what he needed to do to fix the defense in one season and it was enough to win the championship. He definitely should have been considered for executive of the year.

I'm not sold on Veach being a great GM yet. Way too small of a sample size. Give it another year or two and see how he does. Hopefully you guys are right but for now IMO the jury is still out. |

Now, it's 'too small a sample size'. I'm sorry, I was busy looking at this shiny Lombardi trophy, did you say something? Good lord, man. They won the ****ing thing. The whole ****ing thing. Veach was a big part of that. |

Yes Veach was a big part of the SB win and he has done a good, if not great job so far. I hope he kills it the rest of the time here as a Chiefs GM but that's not going to stop me from being objective. He was put in a great situation. Anyone denying that is just being a homer.

His other big moves panned out when it counted most as well- Sammy, Honey Badger, Hitchens and Clark all played well through the playoffs and SB. Hell, even slow-ass Ragland chipped in. The coaching staff was also pretty great-according to the praise of the players themselves. Guys really bought into their techniques and coaching, especially in the secondary. I am very impressed with Veech so far. Looking forward to seeing how he navigates this important Free Agency with Jones and Watkins- then the draft, to get us loaded up for another run. The moves he makes in the next few months will not only affect this year-but will impact us several years down the road with the cap. |

Veech deserves an A grade for these moves and winning a SB. |
