How many CONSECUTIVE years are we going to have glaring holes on the offensive line and defensive line depth and this management will just keep ignoring them? We have needed oline help for years and they never make it a priority.
Never? McGlinchey a 1st round pick. Banks a 2nd round pick. This year Puni was a 3rd rounder. They also traded for the best tackle in the league (at that time). You can't say they ignore the O line. Some years there just aren't many good linemen available. They never load up at any one position in a draft. I looked at their drafts and its always spread around different positions.
Legitimate points, but we really have needed another Staley/Iupati type draft for that past 5/6 years. Not necessarily 2 first rounders but we should have targeted high round guys that could step in from day one.
That being said, as bad as our first 3 round drafted players have been, it wouldn't have mattered…..case in point, McGlinchy.
