Might as well stay the course and expect the same results at the QB position. Although the protection will be better. I'm just pointing out that many of the fans here think Bartel and Colt are fodder. Many think SexyRexy is washed up or is a nice clipboard holder. That leaves JC who has other issues besides lack of protection and time to throw the ball.
Who knows maybe picking up the line this year and getting a QB next year is the answer. But don't expect to pick one in the top 5 unless we throw a hell of a lot at whoever has those picks. With this years 4th we could simply add a little to that to get to #1 if we wanted to vs. next year sitting at mid round throwing an extra pick or a couple of players in with it and if we simply pick mid round we are still sitting were we are now.... mid to late 1st round draft picks in JC and SexyRexy.

Still not sure what your point is...
I'm in favor of building the line first and worrying about the skill positions later. As we saw last year it's tough to do much of anything if you can't block.
