Shortages of QB's, shutdown corners, OL, etc. For the past few years it has been a glaring shortage of good OL, which means you (a) need to draft/evaluate more of them (b) pay more for the good ones, perhaps even over pay to keep them and © adapt your offensive schemes to account for the weakness. 

Good point too.  That 2105 draft, whiffing in the 1st 2 rounds on tackles, really hurt us.  Letting Zeitler leave was a bad decision too.  Hopefully the trend reverses, and good olinemen start restocking themselves.  I was just thinking about how much it seems like dlinemen have really become better athletes than in the past.  These guys are fast and strong these days.  It seems talent can be found all over the draft board anymore.  As others have noted....maybe the spread offense is effecting olinemen as well.
