The Frank Clark deal along with the Edwards-Helaire selection are not looking good years later and the voids on the defense currently with no veteran presence at certain levels of the defence are very concerning. The draft won’t solve all issues for this team and I am shocked Veach has not done more to at least insulate some positions with veteran additions. I hope there are no desperation moves ahead burning draft capital to get a big ticket name that robs the team of future cap management and the ability to replenish. One would feel better about such a move if the overall depth of the team was better, but there are so many needs right now.

I am surprised that Veach has not signed more vets at positions of need. We’re going into the draft with immediate needs at DE, CB and WR. Because of that we don’t as much flexibility to take BPA like we have in the past. The roster as it stands today is the worst it’s been in years. The good news is we have quite a few picks. This draft is very important for the future of this franchise.
