True Dat! We've hit on every O-lineman that we've drafted in the first round except for Peat. I don't blame them for drafting him at all. He looked good but he came in soft and never really changed even with an NFL strength program. It's been years since we had a Carl Nicks mentality on the O-line. We need a road grader who can pass block.

We had success with Armstead in the third round(I think) but it's been years since we've been able to develop later round players. However, we try too many UDFA's for the developmental squads and they don't develop. A first rounder is there because they have all the talent needed to be successful.....well, besides Peat. Put your money on proven winners in the first round. Use mid round picks for small school prospects who haven't really been tested but have all the traits you look for.

I'd rather invest our resources in the O-line with either draft picks(preferably) or a top flight free agent and then develop skill positions with later draft picks.
