Heck, they were even saying how improved Mike Jordan was early in preseason, but I think now that was a tactic.
Regardless, I just hate the "they didn't do anything"....to more of a "they weren't successful with their approach".
I mean, look back at Ogbuehi, Fisher, Glenn, Price, and Williams. All but Fisher were first round (Glenn was a first round swap of picks) and only Williams has proven to be a solid player. Reiff was a solid addition before injury as well.
I would hope they would get a FA for the RT and the RG spot and if that costs them a large chunk of their FA dollars, so be it. Bates to me is an automatic yes.
Yes, they've spent draft picks on the line. They've just never attacked it with any true seriousness in free agency.
Our biggest signings/trades were Cordy Glenn and Riley Reiff. Neither of those guys were all that impressive additions, tbh...and that's the best we did in 6 years. Lots of bargain bin stuff aside from that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
