We’ve used a ton of draft capital on the position in the last handful of years , including premium picks (1st & 2nd round), and have very little to show for it. As good as Duke and the FO is at the skill positions, LB, secondary, etc, they absolutely blow at picking OL. We haven’t really had a true hit on one for about a decade (probably Zeitler or Boling). That needs to change. And that’s not on the coaching.You can't just blame players either, coaches are expected to also improve players and line communication has less to do with talent and more with coaching and we have not been strong there . Pollack has not been successful since 2016 as oline coach that is the worry to me, and he has been our coach 3 out of last 5 yrs here with little improvement, this next season we have to make major strides or we need a change for sure. I hope he finally proves me wrong.
