2019 M. Jordan G (4th)
2018 R. Taylor G (7th)
2017 JJ Dielman C (5th)
2016 C. Westerman G (5th)
2014 R. Bodine C (4th)
2013 T. Hawkinson T (5th)
2013 R. Friegl T (7th)
2013 TJ Johnson C (7th)
2011 C. Boling G (4th)
2010 O. Hudson T (5th)
2010 R. Stephens C (7th)

1 hit (Boling), 1 incomplete (Jordan) and a lot of no impacts.  Just not good odds they will find a starting level player after the 2nd round unless they improve their development of linemen.

We haven’t been good at developing the early round ones either.
