Oh - we have tried to draft O-lineman. We got zero now to show from Black, Williams, Sampson (though he was a reach) and John Tait. And, the one legit "find" in Ryan Lilja - we got cute and decided to try and sneak him through waivers (because we kept Williams instead) cost us a very good player that was snatched up by the Colts. So, it's true the D-line cost us, but we have had our chances at O-Lineman. I think overestimating the talent level is just as much to blame.
