People were worried as hell about replacing Jones and Sanu after they left, but the skill position groups are well-stocked with capable players right now.  Unfortunately, the o-line still wanders in the wilderness.  The team is stuck starting the Alex Redmonds and Bobby Harts of the league.  That's not a place you plan on going, it's where you wind up when your plan goes horribly wrong.

Past those two busts at tackle, you have Shaw and Smith who are no longer on the team and then PJ Dawson who many fans liked, but turned out to be another sunk cost.  

Essentially we got 2 backup TEs out of that draft.  Whooptee shit.  

I want to add to what you said, which I agree, that the 2014 draft was overall abysmal as well. That's back-to-back drafts in which we got a nickle cb and two backup tight ends who are the only ones that contribute to the team today.
