The good news just keeps coming.
While this is distressing, IMHO, we shouldn't change our draft strategy. Get the highly talented player at the most difficult to obtain position. In this draft that is a pass rusher. Grab one in the 1st and maybe in the 2nd, then look for the best player at any position in the 3rd. Then in the 5th we can weigh in more need. There is too much talent available in this draft to simply select fully based on need. We have too many holes at too many positions.
To echo what others have said ... we should have addressed OL first and foremost in FA. Everything else is fairly easily draftable in this draft. But once again, we spent our money on the wrong people. Paying Timmons instead of drafting an LB. Paying Branch instead of drafting a DE.
Now it looks like we may have the very real possibility of needing all 3 interior OL. Good luck running without any decent players to man center, left guard and right guard. Good luck protecting the A gap while Tannehill drops back if its 3 scrubs we entrust with Tannehill's safety.
I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day ... surely this cannot be happening ......................... again?
