I know just about everybody can't stand the fact that we've passed up on O-line and D-line. But I just can't argue with the strategy here. Think of it this way ... what has this team sorely missed over the years? Weapons. Guys who can take the ball and score.

So why not load up on as many speedy, elusive running backs and wideouts as you can; increasing the odds of a dynamite playmaker who can beat every defender to the endzone. Shanahan and Allen clearly like those odds over a bookend tackle who'll anchor the line for 10 years.
