We've got an outstanding OL. We could use an upgrade at center, but overall, we've still got a line that's better than two thirds of the teams out there. Easily.
That said, we're in the bed we made. We usually take a highly likely to produce player at 1, then go with big potential guys 2-3, guys who may not be very good but have good measurables. Sometimes that works and you get an MJ or a Pat Simms. Usually we get a Jerome Simpson, Dontay Moch or Margus Hunt. Good size, great 40 time and great height/reach... but ultimately it was bust, bust and bust. I think we've drafted well overall for a while, but that is one trend that needs to stop. Just take the solid players at positions we need and stop trying to shoot the dice on guys like that.
