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.

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.

That's a lot of unconnected dots you're connecting there. 

(Not to mention the fact that Robinson and Taylor were both top five tackle prospects on nearly every prospect ranking you could find.)

Then there's the fact that every analyst I've heard talk about Taylor says he's going to be a stud right tackle when he cleans up a few things. And watching him play, I think they're probably right.
