What say you who give up on rookies and call them a bust?

I think the 2015 draft was the single biggest cause for our tumble from playoff level to hot garbage.  Burning our 1st and 2nd round picks on O-line busts killed us.  If we end up getting a top LT and a solid starter LG from the '19 draft that would be a huge help turning us back around.

Wasn't just the burning 1st and 2nd round picks on OL busts, which was obviously not good.

The real back breaker was when they saw how they were terrible in 2015-2016, but doubled down on making them starters anyway by letting their All-Pro LT and solidly above average RG leave in FA.

The former mistake can hurt you, but the latter mistake is what crushed them. (Well, that and a series of absurdly uninspired in-house OC and later bland DC hirings.)
