I'm reading day 3 pick is most common.
For most other positions, yes. For a roster worthy tackle, the single most in demand position in the league today? Over half the teams in the league are in the market. The Steelers, for example, now have both starting tackles (Jones - elbow, Fautanu - MCL) injured and are likely to be in the market. We at least have one.

However, the opposite could be said for quality head coaches. There is a shortage across the league and they at least have one. Many candidates with the traits of understanding the game, leadership skills, and charisma often choose the glamor of broadcasting and being able to put head coaches on their toes with tough questions over the thankless job of working their way up from the rank of assistant and fending off scrutiny from broadcasters. We are not the only team to be trotting out damaged goods retreads or failed projects at tackle or head coach.

And what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Well stated and clearly articulated. It’s very important to continue to drive the point home (for those who fail to see beyond the rosey lenses) that our damaged goods and retreads happen to occupy KEY POSITIONS, and until that gets squarely and bluntly addressed and corrected, this team will remain barely competitive, if not entirely irrelevant, indefinitely.
