I didn't even have 3rd round grades on Taylor and Robinson.  

I have no idea what you are trying to say about Joeckel, but I loathed that selection. In fact, I had a bit of a mini meltdown when he was selected. He was among my least favorite players in that draft. He lacked any kind of functional strength to play LT and it showed. 

I know that, the draft is a crapshoot. You just project the best you can and hope it works out. That has no bearing upon how I grade certain players. They might hit and they might miss.

We have plenty of cap space and picks to upgrade more than one offensive line position. I really don't get your opposition to signing Williams.

The only reason you don't see similarity is because one has actually played in the NFL so you are only claiming a different evaluation because of hindsight.

Robinson and Taylor were highly regarded coming out of college.

You would have called them an instant upgrade too if we had an under performing OT and a pick at their spots.

That's absolutely not true. I am very vocal about who I like and who I dislike before every draft. Dig through the old posts and you'll find how much I hated those O-Linemen. I was railing against the picks weeks after the draft. Pull up the old articles and you'll see that some teams didn't even have a passing medical grade on Taylor, because of his knee issues. The proof is out there, but I doubt you'll even make an effort to look for it, because you just don't like people disagreeing with you and you don't wanna be shown up.
