They definitely need to draft better. But they also need to manage the players they have better. Ogbue wasn't good enough. They let Whit go anyway. And how many years has Whit had (since he left) playing LT at a damn near elite level? It's been atleast 4 or 5 years since we let him go. We let him go (or lowballed him, however you want to put it) in favor of a player that hadn't proved a damn thing yet. That is poor management.
Besides Whit, we did hit on Boling and Zeitler. One of them we let go. The other was fed up with us and retired. These three lineman, if retained, would have been part of a much better line the past several years.
So in short, the problem isn't just drafting, it's managing what you have.
