My point is that I am questioning your mindset. Do you always look at a situation where there is a stud OL on the board like Kalil or Lamp and watch your team pass on him and say, well I trust them?
Sometime you gotta look at the history of passing on stud OL and questioning your teams thought process. At least thats what Im doing now, finally.
Why would you associate one prior regime's history with the current regime?
And here's another perspective that I haven't heard anyone mention.
Is it possible that the OL solutions are already on the team?
Somewhere in the thread, someone referred to Fisher and his incompetency and how he tried to solve the problem by drafting a ton of OL in one year.
Just maybe it's possible that those seeds planted in 2015 are beginning to sprout now. It's well known that O'linemen take about three years to develop. It's not one of the more immediate dividend positions. (Actually expectations should be low for rookies at all positions judging by history.) Well, this is the third season and we may see some of those players emerge.
McVay said they would cross train and essentially that the answers are on the roster. Maybe he's right. I don't see evidence yet for why I need to look at his decisions with skepticism. Do you? If he didn't think some of the players on the roster would emerge then I'm sure he would have prioritized "stud" OL.
That's the other thing. This draft was said to lack "studs" at OL. Maybe in their evaluation, neither Snead or McVay saw Lamp or anyone else as a stud.
