We also don’t pick early and that makes a huge difference.
Veach may have made some bad decisions (Clyde) but he’s still drafted multiple good players in the last 4 drafts.
Some of ya’ll sucking that Bills dick need to come back this time next year when they have no money, late draft picks and have lost some of their star players due to Josh Allen’s contract kicking in.

This is a very fair point I reckon. I'd add that Bills still need to win something. If they win this year I'd say that immediately elevates Beane alongside Veach imo, but that's a big IF. He won't have made it to 2 SBs like Veach or had the same sustained success, but the roster will have been all his. He wasn't gifted 2 HOFers (he was given excellent safeties though).
At that point, as you say, we'll see how well Bills can sustain that success with the same cap restraints we have. If they don't win it this year, they're going to need to keep drafting very well to improve.
