Dude is clearly not 100% physically and things are getting into Joe's head. I didn't expect this honestly unless he wasn't ready.
Its all good, get this over now. This is the time.

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.

While they won't fix everything, a good offensive and defensive line can help keep the team competitive vs. having all skill players with no lines.
Sorta like building a house. if you don't have a good foundation, it's not going to last or stand up under pressure. Provide a solid foundation, and it can last for years.
Winning teams are built from the trenches out.
