There aren't a lot of Pro Bowl players that have been drafted in the past five years, I will give you that.  However, they have drafted a lot of starters that, until this year, were in unison one of the best and deepest rosters in the NFL.  We can easily lose sight of how a team can fall apart grasping at straws (FAs) to desperately plug holes in their roster, and typically way overpaying.  By not having any one player that commands a ridiculous $20 million per year, they are able to keep a lot of the "nuts and bolts" pieces of the machine that cost maybe a few million per year.  

I would give anything to see a young version of Sam Wyche take over this team.  I believe the talent is there.  

Give up on Og? No

Count on Og? No

Need to draft another OT early and this time someone who already knows his technique. Og's draft scouting report warned us about everything we are seeing from him. If Og gets his shit together then he can compete for playing time. Meanwhile, the whole offense doesn't have to suffer while one guys tries to learn.
