With who we have drafting it doesn't matter how many picks we have.
Want to truly be depressed? This team has consistently picked offensive linemen in rounds that should provide at a minimum year two starters and/or reliable depth since 2010 and developed one of them. One.
They drafted Trent Williams (1st-2010), Mo Hurt (7th-2011), Josh LeReibius (3rd-2012), Adam Gettis (5th-2012), Tom Compton (7th-2012), Morgan Moses (3rd-2014), Spencer Long (3rd-2014) and have developed one. ONE!
To make it even worse we've spent more picks (4) on that position group in the first 3 rounds than any other position group on the roster. Players drafted in those rounds should be starters, not inactive every week.
We can save the whole 'draft linemen' thing as a reason we're terrible. It's not the fruit that's rotten, it is who is choosing it.
