The lazy narrative that it was OL at #5 or bust is letting Tobin and the team off the hook for not doing more in FA. Which where you acquire actual proven players, that could have protected Joe, RIGHT NOW. Not down the road.

They should have signed a center at the very least in addition to Reiff (and maybe another OG). Banking of Hopkins to be ready was clearly a mistake. But unless you wanted to use a top 5 pick on IOL, FA is where they failed. Not the draft.

I agree with most of this. Our failure in FA should have forced our hand in the draft. It didn't, and instead they doubled down on the failure. Chase is a great player. But if I had to choose I choose the Franchise QB, which we are on the verge of not having. 

So we are about to have all these weapons (worthy of the draft slot no doubt), with no Franchise QB.... That is where we are headed. That's what our future is looking like the next couple years.
