This is always given as a valid excuse but I don’t buy it - it was a reactionary decision bordering on panic and was a poor move. Reaching for a raw prospect because he was the closest thing to Hill based purely on measurables was a mistake. I’m not the biggest fan of Veach but I’m fairly confident he wouldn’t make that same pick today. I do admit he has grown a lot as a GM, even if he can’t draft WRs worth a damn.
