If he were a true 7th round pick, yeah sure. But as Veach explained to us, COVID did us a favor and stuffed that draft with an overabundance of quality RBs that he and his staff had scouted thoroughly. Not every draft is going to be like that.
Look, the probabilities are just against us that Veach will draft that many solid-great players in just two drafts. I bet that the NFL average is far below that, and even in the top 5 drafting teams, it's not normal. Like significantly outside the mean.
That doesn't mean that I think Veach is not a good drafter, or good at his job or whatever. I'm on the record already for saying that I think he's in the top-2 or 3 in the league. But nobody's perfect. He's going to have an off year or two before he's done.
