Like someone said earlier noone can predict injuries, so if our oline was healthy and our once weak link dline which is now a strength were both playing at a high level ppl would be praising our FO but because we lost some players to injury ppl want to question the RAK pick and call them idiots. If we had drafted Oher and passed on RAK it would have been the same as last yr when everyone was complaining that the Dline is not getting pressure and we dont get turnovers as a result. AH would be getting doubled and/or tripled and Carter would not be as effective without another rush presence from the other side. Its really a darned if you do darned if you dont scenerio, we had limited picks to fill alot of holes and i dont blame the FO for jumping all over RAK who many thought would be gone top 5 and passing over Oher who was said to be the 3-4 best tackle in the draft.
