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.
Not to start this entire debate again... but they could have also added a WR in FA just as easily as a high end OL player.
The team screwed up FA by not filling one of the two big offensive holes with a real solution so that the draft board was open. Kenny Golladay would have looked good in stripes.
