Oline is clearly weakest position grp on team and once again it will be highest priority of off-season next year.  Hopefully it actually gets addressed next year.  

We had so many holes to fill it's hard to fill them all but fixing oline should have had a much higher priority.  It was all just lip service.  We're putting a band aid on a bullet hole for the 2nd straight off-season.

No one has said it's, "what we needed to do."

But they had too many needs to address everything.

They still have $15-20 mill to spend in the cap before signing draft picks. However, they freed it up too late, resulting in the FA pool being mostly dried up.
I wanted them to go get a guy at least in the $7 mill range at G to help solidify the OL, but they didn't.
I wanted them to sign an OT to a multi-year deal, not a 1-year deal. But that didn't happen.

With that said, if they went all in on OL, we'd be complaining that they didn't address pass catchers and/or DL.

That's what happens when you're a terrible team. Too many needs.
As such, it should be acceptable to make progressive strides.
Bad -> Average -> Good -> Elite
