Because he should have been the swing tackle and not the LG

Remember when Seattle got bad grades for taking "reaches" like Bruce Irvin?

Allen is to the offensive line as Berry is to the safety spot.

The organization has neglected Oline in the draft for way too many years. This is the fallout.

Really?

They've drafted 7 linemen in the last 5 years alone, including one 1st, two 2nd, and 2 3rd rounders...

The topic is inexperience/youth. 4 guys in the two previous years. Before that they average about 1 per year.

It's like they banked on every olineman drafted to pan out. Now they are playing catch up.

Coaching staff change leads to different preferences

It doesn't change team needs. It started all the way back when the Vermeil Oline was all getting old at once. There just hasn't been much effort to keep young guys in the pipeline. Add in some FA misses and losses and you end up with 10 olinemen with a combined 6 years of experience.

It often does change team needs, though. If a different coach was at the helm, Albert may have been kept, or Asomoah.
