If the team misses the post season again is it rebuild time?

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. 1. Exactly. They aren't. 2. I'm saying they aren't spending the time to find the right players, because they are waiting to draft OT's in the 2nd round, that other teams didn't want. It's the exact same concept as not spending first rounders on good O-Linemen. I think that is pretty clear. 3. Yes and because they failed once (Joeckel), they gave up. It's the same that they did for QB. They spent first rounders on Byron Leftwich, Blaine Gabbert and Blake Bortles, but because we missed on those picks, many people seemed like they never want to spend a first rounder on QB ever again. That's not how it works. The fact is, most good LT's and QB's come out of round 1. Just because you miss on some draft picks at those positions in the first round in past drafts, doesn't mean you should give up. It simply means you get better at scouting those positions and try again. Most premier starting OT's are first round picks. Period. We know drafting OT's in round 2 isn't working, so sometimes you have to recognize a problem and fix it. You play the odds and keep trying until you finally hit. |
