First, I agree we need to rebuild the OL & DL. But I would argue the OL was addressed, through Free Agency and by in-house high round picks. Unfortunately, father time caught up with us about 12 weeks too early.

Samuels - 1st Rounder
Jansen - early 2nd rounder
Rabach - 3rd rounder, FA pick-up
Thomas - 2nd rounder, FA pick-up
Kendall - 1st rounder, FA pick-up

Also to dispell any misconceptions, the Hogs were built by Bethard/Gibbs/Bugel through the later rounds and from Bugel's great coaching, not high draft picks. Lachey and May were the exceptions:

Lachey - 1st
May - 1st
Jacoby - Undrafted
Grimm - 3rd
McKenzie - 11th
Schlereth - 10th
Simmons - 6th
Bostic - Undrafted
Starke - 11th
