    The issue here is that we had boneheads deciding who to pick ( munch and webb). If we draft a top 5 interior lineman with any pick, its a good pick. But, if you draft a guy in the top 10 (depending on position), you have to weigh out the value. An interior lineman is way down the list as far as "value", therefore he has to be way up on the list, as far as expectations.

    Warmack is/was a project player, with huge upside. But, he had big question marks coming out. We now know those question marks are a real problem. Simply put, he has the ability, but won't put in the work.

    If you draft a qb, pass rusher, big play guy, etc. With that same pick, its worth the risk. Interior olineman simply don't have enough impact on the game to dictate taking one with question marks that early. It's very simple math.

    Our whole fo has been geared to play it safe and go with thier gut ( old school). This just doesn't work anymore unless you have a program like ne.

    We have to take risks (in the right way). Mm, dm,dw, henry, dodd, johnson, byard, etc. Taking an interior lineman in the top 10 is a horrible decision, in our position. Idc if he becomes a pb player.

    Even from a business standpoint, how many ticket do interior lineman sell? 50 a game?

    The focus is now on winning and i like that. That will get me to the games. We have to stop with the bs/high praised guys if we want out of this hole. No more reach picks until we are in the playoffs, for multiple years.

    Warmack wasn't a project player and that is what the problem was.

    He was suppose to be this plug & play lineman that was suppose to be a pro bowl caliber player for the next decade and he is average at best.
