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.


Okay man. If you don't understand the difference we'll stop here.

You don't always have high first round picks. You use high first round picks on OT's, if you can, but your not always in a position to have high first round picks. I thought this was common sense. You should always use first rounders (high or low) to find starting OT's, no matter where you are picking in round 1. That's where you normally find the best ones.
