Does Veach draft aggressively again?

He was really aggressive last year. He had targeted the guys he wanted and traded up to get them. Was that because he had no first round pick or should we expect it again? I would be willing to bet that he doesn't stay pat at 29. I think he has his eye on a couple of guys in each round that he will move up for if he can. Who are some guys that would be available in the low to mid 20's in round 1 and mid round 2 that Veach might have on his radar? Would you be happy to see that, or would you rather see him stay pat and take who is available?

I think it depends on how FA goes.

The corner market is terrible, so if he likes a prospect that he envisions as a Day 1 starter, then he might move up to get one. Byron Murphy would be a guy I think you could get around the #20 pick, so it would likely cost one of the 2nd rounders.

I think they can make do at Safety/LB/DL with 2nd/3rd round talent. I believe they will pursue Collins hard in FA and then find depth signings at other positions.
