I will argue Boyd was the best receiver over Green as he just seemed to have lost his spark. We had an aging roster and a house that needed a severe cleaning. So, although Zac does get flack for the OL being so bad, he may have wanted to focus on the weapons first.
He has to score and have a few wins and address the OL later. Plus, I'm not sure he realized how bad the current OL truly was at the time. Add that with injuries and zap, your OL really sucks. Then OL was addressed in FA and made it serviceable, but not great. The way it all played out may have been a mistake, but no other way we get were we are today had he done things differently.
I think we hit FA hard to fix the OL and maybe get a few good leaders in the draft who can be coached up.
You kind of have to take the chips as they fall, I mean if we did what many wanted on here and just concentrated on the OL who
knows how it would of panned out. We would of had Sewell and other really good OL but we wouldn't have Chase who is OROY
and clearly to me was the better pick. Also you can take OL early and they still suck as we saw with Price and company.
Also if we were adding all that to the OL would we have been able to build the Defense that we have built which is very good.
Hard to say we would have been able to.
Oh well, love how the chips have fell is all I can say lol
