Pollack, Carman, Humphrey, OUCH.

However, the FO listened to Pollack in the 2022 draft and gave him a guy he really wanted, which was Cordell Volson. 

Also, Pollack was clearly a front office hire. It was known that the FO loved him and didn't want him to leave after 2018. We had Jim Turner, who is arguably one of the worst hires ever in team history. Pollack's style doesn't mesh with the offense that we've had to implement for Burrow.

There's a lot of blame on multiple sides with these failures. 

That blows, I wanted Creed in the 2nd (most of my mocks took him in the first), and Trey was one i also wanted, i was screaming for him starting in the 4th, and the 5th, I wasn't to upset about Volson, he comes from North Dakota State and they have been pumping out decent OL lately.
