I completely agree. Although, Veach clearly will trade up anytime. I don't know if it was as much about Hill as it was the Jets.
Maybe - just maybe - Reid wasn't lying when he said Hardman had nothing to do with Hill. [Reply]

If that goes well, it would allow you to move on from Watkins next year, or depending on the Hill situation, redo Sammy's deal and replace Hill. [Reply]

The more this situation plays out, the more I'm beginning to believe this scenario is true. Replacing Watkins with a cheetah #2 is an absolute no-brainer move.
Plus, we all knew that Reid was going to get his candy in this draft and get it early. [Reply]

If Watkins stays healthy all year he's on the team in 2020. Big if but I don't see them letting him go. [Reply]
