I find it to be no coincidence that Flowers is the other rookie WR taken high that's doing well and I also don't believe a ****ing word of it. If that's the case, we must have traded out of 6-178 to Dallas when we missed the boat on Puka Nacua (went 5-177), am I right? This is all bullshit. Flowers went 4 picks before Dallas made their selection, where we were reported to want to move to. We were never going to have both and it appears clear that wasn't planned.

LOL. Who legitimately said we were trying to get both Flowers and Rice? Do you create these imaginary arguments on your own?
And let's say we did get Anton Harrison. Maybe, just maybe, that would've freed up resources to get another experienced WR.
You have no idea what we were trying to do. We may have wanted to trade up to get Flowers - after all he did work out with Mahomes and do you think Mahomes would've been like, "This guy sucks"? And very possibly that didn't work and then we pivoted to a Mazi Smith as a Chris Jones replacement. And Dallas didn't want to deal and then maybe it was about Anton Harrison but the Jags took him next.
I'm sure every move that Veach has ever tried to make in the draft has been reported so you can have full clarity on everything he's ever tried to do.
