And yet coming off B2B titles his chief rival was willing to trade with him in 2023?
I simply don't believe that narrative -- teams will make deals with you if they think it makes their team better. If Veach wasn't able to get a deal to move up done it was because he didn't want to move up that badly.
He played a 'woe is us' card that I simply don't think was viable. Teams will trade with us. Teams DO trade with us - often. That day nobody was willing to make a trade but it wasn't because we were the Chiefs -- it was because we weren't willing to offer enough to move a team off a guy they really wanted at a spot they were picking.
Shit happens. That's not getting rat-****ed, that's just reality.
And he still had much better players than FAU on the board when he picked.
No excuses there.
