For the entire 10 years he was in Cleveland they got All Pro play and did not have to spend an single additional draft pick on a left tackle. Since ETN was drafted he's missed a year and we've spent 4 draft picks on additional running backs. Not really all that great a comparison of value if you ask me.

How many winning teams did Joe play on? Your great player on a bad team logic should be applied here, no? 

Also, is it ETN's fault that Baalke has spent that many picks on his position while neglecting other positions that could have.... Enhanced his production on the football field along the line?

Yep, what did the Browns do with all those picks they saved by getting a cornerstone at the premium position? They clearly wasted them and that's why they suck. Doesn't change the fact that they got tremendous value for that pick. I'm not blaming ETN at all for any of this, he's a good player; he just plays a less valuable position.
