So yeah maybe we need to look at who's coaching these guys

From 1982 to 1992, we drafted (in a 12 round draft) 17 linemen. Of those only 7 were picked before the 7th round. One 2nd rounder (Wally Klein, '87), two 3rd rounders (Mo Elewonibi, '90; Paul Sevier, 92). Four 6th rounders - of whom only Ed Simmons stuck around (and he did for 10 years).

In fact, in '91, the Skins did not draft an o-lineman out of nine picks.

It was a different era, but still, we have invested significantly more in drafting o-linemen over the last 5 years than we did during the ten year reign of the Hogs with much less to show for it.
