Relatively same amount of turnovers on offense and redzone blunders as last year as well.

Just not seeing what you're seeing I guess. 68 points spread out over 13 games is a +5 point difference per game. That's kind of a big deal man...

So last year we had less points, but with a better O-Line (This is what certain people have been telling me.  That our O-Line last year was better, and that's why this year our offense is so terrible).

And this year with a "terrible" O-Line we have more points?  (And this is with the fact that we have a bad O-Line, which is the consensus of very popular posters here)

And yet we are still at the same position we were last year, fighting for our playoff lives...

I'm not sure what your point is...

Maybe a better decision made in RD2 and RD3 results in this team having a win or two more at this point in time because the interior is woefully incompetent on both sides and we probably could have and should have found starters in those rounds that are better than what we have now.

You have to hold up the specific guys that were available and should have been taken to call any pick a luxury in my opinion.  Position alone doesn't cut it, for instance, if they had all offensive and defensive linemen that were left on the board graded outside of the 2nd or 3rd rounds.  I've heard Torrance's name bandied about, so there's 1 potential miss either by scouting or by draft day strategy.  Let's hear the others.

The draft isn't always about filling immediate needs.  That's what free agency is for.  You have to take into account future needs in the draft as well on top of having the specific player graded somewhere in the vicinity of the top of your board.
