It was a difference of opinion on what draft capital is spent not on whether we should draft and develop or go down the FA route.
I do agree re Nagy and Embree, mainly because guys like MVS have looked worse and there's really no good reason for that.

Yeah, the argument was about giving up multiple picks to move up to get a WR. And, ironically, it appears that Veach was TRYING to move up, but nobody wanted to deal. We don't know who he was targeting, of course. But it goes to show-it takes two to make a deal. Sometimes the other guy just doesn't want to do it.
DT is still the second weakest group on the roster, in my opinion. I wish we'd kept Saunders instead of Nnadi. And I'll never argue against pass rushers. FAU is just in a stacked group so I'm not alarmed that he's had a quiet rookie season.
WR I think everyone was on board with one early; it was just whether or not the draft class was worth spending a lot to go up and get one. As it turns out, we got one of the better ones in the second. (and we did have to make a small move up to get him.)
