What he said about the draft is 100% true bc everybody knows it. This is a defensive draft. WR isn’t strong, LT isn’t strong and the positions that are strong like RB can be had in the 3rd rd or later.
I think this offseason will be a lot like 2022. Spend your money on offensive vets (Hollywood, Trey, vet LT) and attack the strength of the draft to make that attainable by drafting defense.
DL is incredible this year. LB is really good and so is corner. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a pass rusher and LB with our first 2 picks.
LT is the big question mark and I think we’ll get our answer next month.

He would if he thinks there's leverage to be gained anywhere.
Hell fellas, it may not have anything to do with Smith at all. Maybe it's a shot across Bolton's bow.
He's out there saying "I need $17 million or I'm going to Free Agency" and Veach is saying "Okay -- well I'm spending that on Smith so let's get this done at $13 or it's been fun..."
May be nothing more than a bluff to get Bolton's people to the table.
Or like I said earlier, maybe it's an angle for a tag and trade.
There are a number of reasons he might do it. I don't think "egg on his face" really means a damn thing to him.
I just don't think Smith can possibly be a priority right now. I think Veach is smarter than that.
