Tobin — not adressing the position in the most recent draft, signing Hart, not using free agency for Oline
They had just double dipped on OL, in the 2019 draft. So far, both of those guys are developing into starters. (Williams and Jordan) This year they added Adeniji, who was cheated of a full year of OTAs, Preseason games, and a truncated training camp, he's going to take a little while to fully develop. They also added and kept Fred Johnson, the jury is still out on FJ. He looked good in limited action at Tackle last year, but stunk it up at RG for one game. A little too soon to be passing judgement on the guy, if you ask me. They did address OL in free agency, by signing Xavier Su'a Filo. By all accounts that I saw in the Chargers game, he was doing well before spraining an ankle. He'll be back in a few weeks. As for not going for a marquis OL signing in FA? I believe that the data shows that OL is likely the worst position group to spend big money on FAs, as far as them panning out to be worth the money spent.
I don't understand how fans of a team go around and tout things like "the money isn't worth it", how do you know? What data really truly shows that? If your Oline is getting blown up and your offense is scrambling to do anything then you must spend the money to fix it or you won't win, or worst case your franchise player gets hurt and then you really have no shot. There's so much "data" out there now that people just way overthink the basic necessities of winning football. Sunset I'm not putting this on you directly just more a general comment, since there's such a big trend on fans talking about how much a player should be worth. A player is worth exactly what value he provides to the team. My 2 cents.
