I get kinda annoyed when someone just finds a way to love or hate something.

I hated the idea of taking a RB in the 1st round.
We did it. I talked myself into it.
Just not doing that again.
If I'm proven wrong, I'm proven wrong -- I've been wrong before. But I'm not gonna doubt my gut anymore.
That's why the "Trust in Veach" stuff rings particularly hollow. Because more often than not when I have REALLY not liked a pick he's made, I've been right. And when I've absolutely loved a pick he's made, I've said it...and I've been right.
Where Veach absolutely kills me, something he does I can never ever do, is be right on a guy I simply don't know shit about. And he deserves all the credit in the world for that. Danna, Snead, Chenal, Allegretti (and I'm sure others I'm forgetting) -- those are all guys that were completely off my radar that were good picks. That's where he's been exceptional.
But I think people underestimate the hit rate of the 'drafturbators' when it comes to guys they have strong opinions on. A ton of us are pretty damn reliable on BOTH sides of this ledger.
