I'm saying they aren't doing their homework and it has shown. If my untrained eye can see these guys are not gonna fit in the NFL, I surely expect NFL personnel to be able to figure that out. Those guys are supposed to be trained to spot these things. I'm also saying that the best O-Linemen are chosen in the first round and there is a steep drop off after the first rounders are taken. As mentioned in the post above, there is a shortage of good OT's in the NFL, because of the way the college game is now played, so you gotta recognize those few guys who have what you are looking for and draft them in round 1, because there is such a drop off after the elite players are taken. If you have needs at OT and QB, you have to use first round picks to fill those needs, because getting a truly good one is such a rarity.

You started by saying they weren't spending (high) 1st round picks on O-linemen. 

Now you're twisting that into something entirely different and saying they're aren't picking the right players. 

In regards to the former, it's literally the first thing this regime did. In regards to the latter, that has merit but let's not conflate the two.
