After car wreck, safe to wonder if OL jinxed

Can't agree with you. Konz has started 9 games for PROBABLY the top team in the NFL. DeCastro was injured so hard to tell but he was almost universally regarded as a "once in a decade" player.

Brown has turned to be good this latter part of the season but our needs at OL were much greater. And the season has shown our D is close to being a record setting poor defense WITH him. Hard to argue that we shouldn't have gone O-line with how poor that unit also performed and how we had to scramble for depth near the end of the season.
