The problem is the past couple "look ahead" draft picks have not worked out at all. It couldn't have gone any worse for them.
Draft OG to replace Whit- Bust
Draft Fisher to replace Smith- looks to be injury prone and a bust
Draft Billings to replace Peko-injured
Draft WJ3 to replace Jones or Dre- injured
Draft Dawson to replace Maulauga or Vinny-Bust
Draft Westerman to replace Zeitler-Not sure how good he is yet
They were so confident in OG and Fisher that they wanted to keep Whit and move him to LG.
I know all the "BUST" I've listed are young player who may turn out to be just as good as the players they wanted them to replace but none of them are there yet. It can take an Oline man a couple years to develop but you have to remember who is doing the developing. As mad as I get at Mike Brown in his defense he has been looking ahead for replacements for players that are FA's it's just between injuries and flat out bad luck whatever plan they had in place is now shot to shit. Mike just needs to be less stubborn and adjust the best he can to put a winning team together and if that means re-signing some of the better guys that you planed not to, then do it. If it means bringing in FA's for 1 or 2 years while players develop, do it. But there is no reason to bring back mediocre players like Peko, Maulauga and even Johnson or troubled players on their downward slide like Jones. Just forget whatever plan you had, adjust and give the fans what they deserve. It just gets frustrating that sometimes they don't even pretend to try to make this team better.
