I cited Barry [BLEEP] Sanders dude
Nobody thought Travis was Barry Sanders LOL

Don't mischaracterize our line
Cam is no longer a "pick" 
He was grossly overpaid in free agency 
Little was a gamble-injured-player selection 
Bartch was a 4th
Fortner was a wasted 3rd
Scherff is another overpaid FA currently almost earning it
And the one actual first round pick is having the most "welcome to the NFL" season I've ever seen

Get real, man 
"Our whole line is high draft picks"
LOL

Our line is two free agent signings that go between above average and "god help us" on a roller coaster when they aren't injured or [BLEEP] suspended
+
One good second round pick 
+ 
two absolute mid round busts 
+
One ACTUAL first round pick who is getting destroyed 

You can't be serious with this [BLEEP]

There is only one Barry Sanders, he's the GOAT.  That's the only RB you would take in the 1st, gotcha.  I'm talking about our starting oline,  yes they are all high draft picks.  Cam and Little were 2nd round picks, Scherff and Harrison were 1st round picks, and Fortner was the 1st pick in the 3rd round.  All high draft picks

Cam Robinson was a 2nd round pick in 2017. 
Brandon Scherff was a 1st round pick in 2015. 

It's been awhile. We obviously didn't like what we were getting out of Robinson at LT if we chose to invest a 2nd round pick just four years later in Walker Little. 

We did invest a 2nd round pick in JaWaan Taylor, who was in fact, replaced by a first round pick. I'll give you that. Your point has some merit. We're still not addressing the positions properly though. 

And I think that's the main point of the topic. Especially since 2021 when they had Lawrence gifted to them in that draft class. We had issues then, just like we had issues last year, just like we have issues now. 

We're not doing enough to get the situation under control. We didn't do enough in last year's draft class nor this year's draft class to potentially shore up the LG and RG issues.
