Then, Williams and XSF will get hurt in pre-season or week 1 and by week 4 all the "Team Chase" people will be screaming about how bad the line is when Michael Jordan is out there at G, and Fred Johnson is playing T.
Meanwhile our 2nd round pick will be an Edge rusher because Tobin has "starter grades on 2nd and 3rd round OL" and the guy we took in 3, won't be ready to go.
And then at season ends the entire board will spend a month or two saying OL is horrible and must be the focus, and then as the draft nears, half the board will fall in love with some CB or Edge, or another WR or TE or something, and talk about the depth of the OL class.
Even the year we took Jonah, most people on the board where actually super excited that we were going to draft Bush for our LB corp. At some point, you just have to commit to fixing it, and really commit to it. Take the best guy on the line and don't look back, then double dip on the C from Whitewater in 3.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
