No. Maybe my sarcasm didn't translate through the writing, but what I meant was that by not bringing in top rated/consistent starters via free agency or not spending multiple picks on high round O-Linemen when it was such a need, was a complete failure in my opinion. Sorry if that didn't translate. Sometimes I forget people can't see the sarcasm on my face as I'm typing.

where were they supposed to find them? This years draft was considered poor in OL, so why use a high pick on one? There wasn't much in FA either...There were other drafts they could have picked OL high, but then they would have missed the good defensive players we got

It all comes back to bad drafting.

Why take Khalil Mack when what you need is a project QB? Why take Amari Cooper or Leonard Williams when what you need is a project defensive end with very poor self control? Those guys aren't offensive linemen, but I'm pretty sure the Jaguars passed up on quite a few of them in the last few years. They've shown they pass up ability for positional need.
