With 10 picks we took three OL and 4 DL to go with WR, K and RB. So on the good side we restocked the cupboards for both lines. On the other side draft picks are rookies so we need time for all the new kids to develop. But to be honest we NEEDED to do this type of draft for years - and I would not be opposed to us doing it again as in concentrating on one or two position groups and just totally reloading them.

Yes, the did spend 3 picks on OL.  However, two of those picks are futures/development type of picks.  They needed to get the work done in FA, so that the line would not only be prepared to protect Joe Burrow, but also have enough ass to bring a ground game back into the equation.
