When does the honeymoon with Tobin end?

1) The OL selections have been horrid. The three main picks (Ogbuehi, Fisher, Bodine) started out playing poorly and continue to play at that level after 3/4 years.
2) Continuous selection of first-round CBs when there were already established starters at the position. Either the veterans shouldn't have been re-signed or probably a better option would have been to take a different position. One that was considered more of an immediate need to help try to win now.

A lot of the picks seemed like good selections at the time, but their usage/effectiveness after a few years proved they weren't actually as good as we thought. That part though probably falls more on the coaching rather than Tobin, but Tobin should know what the coaches do well and what they don't and therefore adjust draft strategy based on that.

Good points, I'd also add that I feel we've had some very good coordinators masking some deficiencies of the underling coaches up until 2016.  We've lost the only good position coaches we had too.  Couple that with what PISTONS has said about losing good FAs and not replacing them.....you have a recipe for disaster.  Now, is that poor evaluation on Tobin, or just the FO handcuffing the staff by not "valuing" positions and holding too firm on negotiations?
