It's quite easy to say "well, drafting Joey Porter Jr instead makes the most sense" but if you were Veach in April of 2023 I'll bet dollars to donuts you wouldn't have the balls to take another 1st round CB in back to back years when we had the secondary we did at the time.

I said I'd have taken Porter. Because Sneed looked like a guy we'd let walk. At the time it wasn't because I thought he'd price himself into CB1 territory, but because he'd be in the Charvarius Ward range; a good CB2 we didn't want to pay for.
Porter even making it TO us didn't make sense to me. [Reply]
Hyphenated names should be outlawed in all of society, not just for players Veach is thinking about drafting. Take it all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. [Reply]

Hindsight bein 20/20 absolutely. Feels like Veach and co made the assessment that they've been killin it with late round contributors at DB and took the higher value position in pass rusher. Just hasn't worked out in their favor on this one as of yet [Reply]

You don't draft guys in the first with the intention of trading them. That's lunacy. [Reply]
