McVay has paid zero draft capital in starters Whitworth, Corbett, Havenstein, Blythe, Sullivan, Saffold, Brown, Robinson, he either inherited these players or picked them up as castoffs or paid them as free agents from other teams.
And when they HAVE drafted players they've gotten only so-so results out of them with only one DRAFTED starter in Edwards and another quality lineman in Evans.
So 1 and 1/2 starters TOTAL.
The rest have been a mixed bag.
Yet, our line has been ranked among the best in the league excepting 1 year.
They've had too many clunkers with Allen, Noteboom (?), (yet to be determine but definitely not a Guard). Anchrum - maybe.
They've had better luck picking up other teams cast offs and FAs in finding starters then they have really drafting starters on their own.
What would propel them to want to start spending draft capital on something they've not been that good at when there are other glaring needs on the team early in the draft and they could pick up somebody else's cut to develop?
As GOOD as the scouting department has been in finding defensive backs they have been just as BAD in finding starting offensive lineman.
If the method of building an offensive line is not broken then why fix it with early draft picks?
But we'll see.
