I agree, he was but he isn't that guy. And they failed to see it soon enough.
To me at this point if you are unable to draft correctly, you have to bite the bullet and handle it one of two ways.
First, flush the scouting department and process of evaluating OL talent. It isn't working and there needs to be changes.
If you can't do that then go to the second option.
Second option, spend the money on high caliber proven NFL lineman and use them as your foundation. And yes, I know the team tried that this off-season wtih some of their signings but I wouldn't view any of the three (and I was excited for all three of them) as the top guy on the free agent pile.
It's honestly kind of amazing at this point, the team can identify so many different positions and find value and contributions from guys but just can not seem to hit on the OL consistantly at all.
