But as it stands right now they have 3 original 2nd rounders. So there's yer "I need pedigree" fix right there.
Who are those 3 original 2nd rounders?
A zillion year old OT, a limited pure RT who is bad at pass pro, and a reject OG who couldn't start for one of the worst OLs in the NFL.
Thats a heck of a pedigree.
Then we've got a 7th rounder OC who gets overwhelmed against power DTs.
This smells similar to last year to me, with the one exception that Evans and Edwards showed more than Noteboom and Allen. But the downside is that Allen doesn't look like a quality starter, and Noteboom showed little before a severe injury and is now a huge question mark.
So many risks on this OL, more than I am willing to accept.
And, therefore, the round someone is taken in
doesn't
matter
as much as you claim it does.
And you have no idea if this OL has "risks" or not. But you do convey that you personally would feel less anxious if they used high picks. That's all I am getting from this. Not anything about the OL per se...just about your own personal anxieties about it.
....
Sure its possible to find great OL after the top rounds, but thats true of any position, even QB.
It's not "possible." It's common.
It doesn't compare to finding a qb. OLs are built many ways and many are done without 1st round picks. Just go around and look at the league. Look at how different OLs are built. When you get a chance look at all of them...not just a few.
For one thing an OL is not a simple sum of its parts. It's not a case where the more high picks you throw at it the better it will be. It's not a collection of individual parts. It's a unit that has to cohere as a unit, and so is always more than the sum of its parts.
