However, I would theorize that had we had done any combination of Zeit, DeCastro or Glenn, then we may have actually won a Play off game or 2 and who knows possibly a SB.
A line that has bookends Whitworth and Smith with the OG being any of those 3 would have given Dalton more time in the pocket as well as making our RBs more successful. The following year we picked up Eifert and Bernard and that would have been where our Post season success truly began. We would have had AJ Green, Eifert, Bernard, Sanu and Jones Jr, with Dalton having the time to plan his retirement during each snap. We would have had this for 3-4 years.
I agree that getting an OC in the 2nd round is more ideal than trying to get one in the 1st. If you ask 10 different people who the best OC is in this draft, you would get 10 different answers. If you ask those people to name the best TE they will give you Hayden Hurst.
Lots of ways we could of went and done better that is for sure, but we are here now and i think we still have a shot if we
get a top tier Center and the OT positions improve. Sounds like this is the route we are going and with Pollack i have some
faith that even the worst players on the O-line will improve.
Need to study up more on Hurst and the TE's, the one i watched specifically last year that i was impressed with was Mark
Andrews but he is not a good blocker which is something our coaches seem to always want in our TE's.
How is Hurst blocking wise?
