First, here are Veach’s comments on the trade for Ogbah:

“The Ogbah trade was a trade I think worked well for both John (Dorsey) and I,” Veach said. “When [the Browns] did the (Odell) Beckham trade, I think the safety (Jabrill Peppers) was involved in that, right? I think they let a safety go, so they were short on numbers and needed depth, and with us going to a 4-3 scheme, looking for a longer, taller defensive lineman, I think we could have used some depth as well.
