MB made Levi Jones and Willie Anderson the highest paid pair of starting tackles in the league.  He has also paid lots of other O-linemen well including Bobboe Williams, Whitworth, Andre Smith, Stacey Andrews, and Clint Boling.

In 2015 we used a first and second round pick on O-linemen

In 2014 we traded up in the third round to get an O-lineman.

In 2012 we used a first round pick on an O-lineman.

In 2009 we used a first round pick on an O-lineman.

 
 

You are missing the point, again.

Those 2015 OL draft picks didn't work out in 2015 or 2016 and yet the team let two better OL players walk at the end of 2016, keeping the two 2015 draft busts. They sucked bad in 2017, just like they did in 2016. So, one year later, same problem exists.

After 4 years of poor center play the teams wants to continue with the same center. Why? Why not just get a good center and keep him? Problem solved.

It's not the draft picks or the rounds they were selected in that matters. It's whether or not they can play the f'n position.

Ogbuehi might be very athletic, but he can't play OT. Why even bother with him? At all?

Just cut these guys loose and bring in some guys who are football players first.
