I mean, you'd have to go almost full defense in the draft with that plan in free agency. 20+ million to Smith, 20+ million to whatever free agent LT they want, and a contract that hovers between the 7 to 8 figure range AAV for a 3rd WR and you're forced into letting most of the talent on defense go. Omenihu, Bolton, Reid, all gone, and there really ain't much to backfill it with on the roster.
I really hope Smith hits the open market and forces Veachs hand into a pivot. We've got a couple guys on the roster right now that should be able to step in at RG and not crater the offense.
