I do think some franchises were ahead of the curve in "quietly" drafting/developing/keeping extremely skilled o-lineman the NFL's latest era. To my knowledge our team has Samuels as its only accomplishment in this category: i don't think anyone can reasonably argue against the simple fact we need to do a better job of this.
