This pick looks to be a good one. He seems highly rated and should thrive here. Spags, with all his faults can coach up a secondary. Look what he has done with CBs drafted much later. He is gonna work wonders with McDuffie.

Most times in the league a WR isn't immediate help. They usually start to make a difference in year 2 or 3. Both our draft picks will be starters in week 1, and the defense is immediately better for it.

This is a ridiculously solid first round. Veach taking advantage of the current NFL landscape. Corners are getting paid, so he got one cost controlled. WR went early so he grabbed a top end corer who slid because of it. Then he patiently waits for a good edge, who slid to us. I know guys wanted Johnson and i did too, but we got a very Trey Hendrickson type guy, someone a lot of us wanted last off season. We raised this d's floor significantly. Now imo we should go after a wr and maybe a high upside DL/DE. Travis Jones, Drake Jackson, Metchie, Tolbert ect. I dont know how anyone could think the sky is falling right now.

Didn’t say anything negative about the player, just wasn’t thrilled about giving up a 3rd and 4th for him. I come here to learn, I wasn’t trying to make it seem like Veach ****ed up or the pick was terrible. Yes, it was a knee-jerk reaction on my part, but everyone is guilty for having one of those at some point or another. He’s growing on me and so is the initial trade.

I think NE probably had multiple offers and we needed to get ahead of Bufallo and Greenbay.

I would rather we got a 5th/6th back but you need to get the player.

We still have 3 day 2 picks.

Really, if we were going to employ the strategy teams used against our offense last year, what would we need to do first? Obviously get better in the secondary.

Losing Ward was a fact of life, but we've filled that hole and upgraded one of the safety spots. Sneed is obviously fine. We're maybe one more mid-round find or free-agent signing away from turning the secondary to a strength in one offseason the way we did the o-line last year.

yep..young safties are always better than young recievers...right?

Shut up you whiny ****. Jesus Christ.

Interesting to use those two games to argue against improving the secondary

How is that guy not banned yet. He just always takes the negative side to troll threads

And more than likely that picture represents one of our corners getting burnt, which happened the entire game

When young receivers screw up it normally doesn’t lead to touchdowns for the other team

Easier to hide bad players on offense than defense

What a steaming runny puddle of shit that guy is.

Context for bolstering the DBs:

serious question - has their been any feedback about Cornell Powell? Is he even alive? Is he a certified 'JAG' at this point, should we assume?
