Look I know everyone is pissed (including myself) that we ended up with basically the same O-line but I believe that some of this was Buges's doing. He loves the vets and probably felt that none of the talent available outside of the first was any better than what we have on the team. I would like to think that if Buges REALLY pushed for Duke or Meredith in the 5th it would have happened but it didn't. I've posted somewhere else about why I don't care much for Duke but Meredith seemed like a good pick at the time. I think Buges doesn't see him as an upgrade to either Jansen or Heyer to be honest with you guys and thats fine with me. I don't think we should get O line just to say we did (I stole this from Gtripp). Lets see how things unfold.

For the better part of of the draft no one thought Meredith was a good pick. Then, if he just fallen a few more picks, we may have taken him. He could have been a just-miss.
