It's going to put even more of a premium on us drafting and developing guys that can play quick on rookie deals.

I agree the window is the next few years.  It's possible to build it out longer with some really solid drafts.  But in terms of having the rookie deals they do for some of these high impact players, they need to capitalize in that window.  The good news is they've got a lot of these guys on early deals so they have a window that's longer than a year like some teams have (ala the Rams).  

This is 100% the time to put some money into that OL to make the most of the window.  It'll close a lot faster if they let Burrow get hurt again...  I don't think they ignored the OL last year, but I think they thought it would play out differently than it did.  They have to be convinced now of the priority level.
