-keep reloading the OL at all costs. When Thuney is towards the end, use a 2nd rd pick on a quality G to replace him. Constantly be taking a developmental OL on day 3. Keep looking for the value. Getting a Wanya Morris in rd 3 is a good thing, not a waste.
Lot of people hated the Packers for using this philosophy but honestly it worked out well for them. Not using a 1st on weapons wasn’t the end of the world when your 2nd rd picks were Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams, Randall Cobb and Greg Jennings.
The Packers didn’t “waste Rodgers”. They set him up nicely many times. 4 championship game appearances in 11 seasons after that SB isn’t bad.
At some point you gotta blame the QB for not winning. The Seahawks gaffe and blowing 2 straight home playoff championship games as well as doing nothing at home against the 49ers in the playoffs.
Yeah. Lot of that was on Aaron

Going into last year it was obvious we needed a more athletic secondary a edge and wr. Veech took all 3 with his first 3 picks. This year heading in it was also obvious we needed and edge and OT. No real OT was available in the 1st 2 settles for one in the third. Which also means he may not be ready to start. So we sign one in FA's on a great contract.
They are doing the best to fill the needs with low cost draft picks. Guys who will be expected to play significant. But the above I think is going to be changed due to the big money WR. are commanding. Your not going to be able to get much for 5-10 million in FA's. The top Wr are commanding LT money and beyond.
