The problem was the lack of offensive playmakers the previous year. Everyone on this board was complaining about the non-existence of a vertical game all year long, so we got out and got weapons.

Not true...we were all calling for Oline help...yes we needed a receiver and 2 was arguably ok in case one bombed....but a TE?...that was a luxury pick at the time and people here certainly questioned it.
We needed oline help then...no doubt among other needs...I like Fred Davis now...but...had we addressed the line then, we may not have needed to draft an Olineman early on...we could have drafted the top Free Safety as an example.

I am not talking hindsight 20/20....I am talking about a questionable pick when we had Cooley...the guy rides the pine most of the time...an high 2nd round olineman would have been playing at least 70% of snaps by now

Remember the BS cover crap?....oh yeah...were gunna run massive 2 TE sets....never happened...they were just covering up for Vinnie being married to the board and ignoring team deficiencies.
