BUT, most of the guys we draft, don't seem to fit our system.

ie We select a bunch of CB's who play man in college and have them play Zone here.

Or we draft a small WR in Ross and don't use him in the slot and try to use him outside on deep routes. IF Tyreke Hill were here and used like that, he'd likely fail.

I could go on and on. We draft slow, plodding LB's that can't cover over and over and over.

We've always seemed to try to squeeze round pegs into square holes. I honestly think if we swapped Tyreke Hill and John Ross, the success would be swapped as well. As disappointing as Ross has been, we really haven't been doing anything easy (or creative to get him going). 

A few years ago, I watched an interview with Wes Welker talking about Peyton and the Broncos offense. He said they almost never ran the same play twice. It might look similar, but they'd always throw a new tweak on it. I bet that kind of offense is rocket science compared to what we run.
