He is replacable and upgradable and the team should be looking for the best 5 guys to keep the elite QB they drafted upright. If he started the year bad and increased his play across the season, I'd buy the making up for lost time narrative but some of his worst games were later in the year. He isn't a franchise LT and when you have a weapon like Burrow you sure as shit better have two guys that can keep edge rushers off of him on a consistant basis.

I also like how you ignored the pick 11 the year prior in your breaking down drafts.. Minkah Fitzpatrick. Safe to say that pick was a hit. Year before that at 11 some guy named Lattimore. That is the level of production you are looking for when you invest a 1st round pick in a guy, a guy who changes your franchise, Williams hasn't come close to being that type of player.

No team could afford to go into free agency and add the 5 best offensive lineman.

Generally, teams have cap space...because they have a lot of free agents. We don't have any high priced guys retiring. And we have guys like Bates/Ogunjobi/Hill that will be due for sizeable raises.

As far as Minkah Fitzpatrick...the Dolphins moved him from CB to Safety.  Plus, he kind of underperformed in Miami and got traded to the Steelers. He makes some big plays there, but he also takes some risks and gets beat.
