I think that's been beaten up enough to show that there really weren't many other obvious options that didn't have their own health concerns and were considered elite players besides maybe Howard but there's already another thread discussing him.

I think what kind of shocked me was taking Josh Malone in Round 4 vs another position/player. There were plenty of fine TEs left (specifically George Kittle) or OL. Given we knew that Ross would be recovering from injury all offseason, you'd think they'd have at least targeted a WR that could have contributed at least SOMETHING immediately rather than someone who is such a project as Josh Malone. It's sad that he's been a healthy inactive every game when all the other WRs besides AJ have been doing so poor and John Ross hasn't been able to play.

Yeah this year there were a lot of players who were injured or not productive, so we're far from alone this year. It's still a major trend for us lately though.

I was pretty disappointed (to say the least) that we didn't draft an o-lineman. Especially considering......

...this. This is the real problem. You can get away with slowly developing rookies when you actually use free agency the way 95% of the league does.
