According to your way too simple of logic you have to say "yes" to my question since you suggest it is lame to have an opinion about a past pick knowing the outcome. Hell, it's a common talking point among NFL fans that drafts shouldn't be graded on draft day, but rather seasons later. Thus it's fine to be critical of the pick and isn't lame at all.
Yes, one can look a organizations and say many things with picks that don't work out. Doing so isn't lame.
No, it's what I said it was, the draft is a crap shoot. Sometines a highly rated player fails, and lower rated players excel. It's fine to criticize the player, but acting like drafting him was some boneheaded move because he was a meh tackle amd criticizing the front office and saying they are idiots for drafting him is what is lame. He had high grades, we needed a LT. It was a sound decision that just didn't pan out
