That said, here is what I would have done different.

1) Fire Lou. Get a DC in here that has some HC experience to help revamp the defense and maybe help Taylor get it figured out. If he can't figure it out, then you have a guy to get your through the season.

2) If Reiff is the answer at RT, then commit to it and give him more then a 1 year stop gap deal. Commit to him and have some continuity on the line for a few seasons. If he isn't the answer long term, don't screw around till round 4 on a long shot from a small school.

3) The unused cap space is killing me. If the move all along was that you had to get the WR in round 1, then you should have worked harder to fix the line in FA ala Zeitler over Spain or... get active for a WR in FA or another DE. I like Ossai, and I think Carman will be a good guard, but if you address one of those spots in FA it opens up another pick that could have been used to improve elsewhere. I still have zero faith that Jonah sees 17 games, I have zero faith XSF stays healthy, and I like Spain but he can be upgraded upon. There is holes that could have been fixed in FA or via an early round pick. Golladay would have been a great get and then the team can trade down and take Vera-Tucker or stay and take Sewell. 

So, in short. My changes. Sign Golladay, we have the cap space and shouldn't have missed. Fire Lou and get new blood coaching the D not just the line. 1st pick then can be for the line or, trade down and get all kinds of talent in return. Hell the Lions wanted to move up and take Sewell, and Miami was after a reunion for Tua, the Bengals could have moved down and still took Chase and had an additional pick in the draft from Det.

Why not just get a HC who already knows and deserves to be a HC? Just throwing that out there.
