We’d be in a different spot if we didn’t wait 5 years to develop a single WR. We maybe couldve mitigated the Super Bowl disaster if we hadn’t ignored the interior OL for years. And now we are talking about a bandaid left tackle and shifting the LT we signed to play RT.

When you have Hill, and you drafted Hardman, then other units were more in need, so the WR room got late round picks and reclamation projects.
It's a matter of resources. Other areas were in more urgent need. Now, Hardman never really developed, and if you want to bitch about that, that's fine. He is pretty much the same guy as the day he was drafted. Whatever. DK Metcalf, blah, blah.
Fisher and Schwartz both had career altering/ending injuries. The interior of the line wasn't strong. So that was priority. If you think that was a mistake, then I don't know what to tell you.
The defense was on a downward trajectory, and if you think you'd rather need to score 40 every game to win, I also don't know what to tell you. It's still football, for ****'s sake.
You keep complaining about the secondary and how much they're throwing at it, but it's mostly been late round picks. I mean, it's a first, a second, and then nothing higher than a 4th. You really think those 7th round picks were going to land us a stud WR?
You said the LB corps was a problem, but now we're investing too heavily on the defense?
Can you agree with YOURSELF on anything other than that the WR corps is a bunch of JAGS? Because that's the only consistent point I see you make, and I find that ridiculous in May, because we have Toney and Skyy in year two and Rice in year one but all are first or second round picks. So no, they're not proven producers, but claiming they're JAGS right now is bullshit.
If you think somehow that you can address areas of need NOW and predict things like Fisher and Schwartz both shooting shit at the same time, then maybe you should open a psychic hotline.
