[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 853304, member: 10086"] I still think there’s quality LT past the first round in many drafts, but the later you draft generally the longer it takes to develop NFL level consistency of play. We have to remember that Spriggs was mainly a high ceiling projection player who had a phenomenal combine, but they knew he needed development and he just didn’t improve to match his athleticism like they thought. When it comes to drafting a RT, I’d rather have a guy who has the size, punch and footwork over a guy like Spriggs who was just athletically gifted but not fundamentally sound. Spriggs performed at his floor and nearly worst case scenario. It’s a lesson as to why not to trade 3 picks away for a top 50 type guy. That should only be reserved for rare cases like our 2019 draft and it’s a philosophy that should be used more sparingly IMO. That doesn’t even account for the % of times that guy would’ve fallen to our original pick. I personally like the philosophy of trading back slightly and gaining additional picks in the second day where the success rates are still higher. I don’t like putting all my eggs in one basket and that’s why I like the med-long run mutual fund approach. Yeah. I like both. When it comes to protecting #12 I like the idea of signing my known quantity veteran to a short term deal. Then also drafting a couple options (staggered approach) That way you can wait until the 2nd or even the 3rd day draft to grab a couple more development OT. I don’t think we’ve put enough emphasis at protecting AR in general since he’s been in his 30’s. If I have 9 picks. I’m hitting OT twice, once day 1-2 draft, then again day 3. One could be a guy who’s played multiple positions along the OL. This team has been so focused on fixing the lackluster D, the O gets ignored. You could clearly see that Sunday against 49ers with receivers dropping passes, receivers not staying in bounds, receivers not running correct routes, receivers not understanding the play. Then the OL got manhandled. Granted against one the leagues best D’s and possibly one of the best defenses this decade. But they still got found out on prime time. Just as well they don’t get too complacent because you wouldn’t want that happening in the playoffs. It was embarrassing. [/QUOTE]
