Have you seen some of the defensive talent on this team? Seems to me the only busts we repeatedly get are when we draft OL in the early rounds. So it appears we are using FA to fill those holes. TBH, early-round picks on OL is high risk for anyone.
How far do you want to go back mate?
Let’s just go from 2020 or my thumbs will get arthritis
Burrow was a can’t miss, Higgins had a 1st round grade. Wilson was the shining light for the scouting team that draft.
2021- Chase was a generational talent, Carman was a disaster if it was the old man then Duke and the rest of the team should have gone batshit until he listened to sense. Ossai does anyone even know anymore? There is something there but this is a make or break year.
2022- It’s taken us a position change and 3 years to get our first round pick on to the field that hopefully turns him in to a star jury still out.
CTB is good and if he takes the next step could be great, Volson let’s see.
The rest were shit.
2023- Early days some promising signs.
So there we have it some swings and misses like you said it happens for every team, but the ones who do hit we constantly struggle to get re-signed or they walk.
I think this team could do better with a proper GM who handles everything that’s all I’m saying.
