One day people will learn to stop the whole "If the team doesn't do this or that it's a failure!" attitude... as if there's only one way to success. Same with the draft and free agency. Sure there are paths we might prefer that sound better to us, but in retrospect how many times do we end up saying the team could have done just or well or better going in a direction or with a player we were viewing as a second thought or not even considering at all? For example sure I would prefer Collins or Armstead, but we might look back and say the team would have been better off passing on those two targets and drafting x or y in the draft. Sometimes you can't say if free agency or the draft failed until you actually see how the team plays on the field.

Can't daynit often enough. There are plenty of OTs that would be an upgrade on what we currently have. Not signing the no1 player a available does not constitute failure. Ignoring the position would be failure.

Seems like we are going that route and ignoring...
 
Yes, cause our season hinges on signing an oft-injured 30 linesman to a massive deal, in the 2nd/3rd day of free agency. It feels like we’ve seen this post before? Oh yeah, we have, it’s been posted every 2nd day of the free agency since I can remember. There is months of free agency ahead of us. Just because we don’t sign everyone now, it doesn’t mean we will are done. Gotta stop with this sky is falling crap.
 
I mean it is the single biggest weakness on the damn team. The very first signing should have been an OT. Period. It could be Brown, Fisher, Armstead, Collins, doesn’t matter. To wait gets you leftovers or scraps. Do you really trust this FO to draft one? You ain’t getting a polished one at 29.

None of those guys you mentioned have signed with anybody yet. If we waited till those guys had agreed to terms before pusruing anybody else we'd have missed the boat on more than just an OT.
 
Oh No! We are Doomed!

I’m all for signing a vet but let’s not forget the last couple of line coaches couldn’t find their a$$ with both hands and a map. The answers might already be on the roster and just need someone to teach them how to block without one hand tied behind their back. Sometimes it’s better to not over pay for injury prone players.

💯 agree, stop signing injury prone players but we still need a talented tackle.
