And finding them isn't that hard. We just didn't prioritize them.
Zabel, Jackson, Ratledge, Thuney (via trade), Fries, Daniels, Becton, Zeitler, Jenkins, Hernandez, Risner.
That's 11 guys off the top of my head that were gettable at various price points/draft slots. Now, some are LGs, Fairchild's spot. But still. This is not a situation where we are all scratching our heads saying, "who could we have gotten?"
Burrow is the franchise. Protecting him should be priority #1. Giving him weapons #2. Defense #3. Imagine what he could do with more time and a running game!
The fact that we are in year 6 and these dumb@$$es haven't figured that out yet is grounds for dismissal.
We get it, you say the same things over and over again. You are smarter than the FO and you have all of the answers, yet don't have a clue how to run an NFL franchise.
If every team hit every pick and very team signed the best FA's whether their own or from other teams, all teams would win the Super Bowl, wait that is not possible.
We have you on record, first you said Fairchild was not Ratledge, now you say we should have drafted both. You said Knight was a mistake and would have been available in round 3 (early draft analysis from you), now you say we should have traded back for Knight, but you had no trade partner or any idea id he lasts 1 pick or 100.
We get you think you could manage the team better and trash the FO at every turn. It is preseason, I have yet to see fans in past 3 weeks happy about RG, yet you beat the same dead horse. Either we will attempt a trade or sig Risner or what team thinks us an upgrade, or we won't. Your complaining they should have did or that is an exercise in assuming failure so you can say I told you so. Maybe I am wrong, but for me time for us to move on, we can have discussions and hope the team figures out the starting RG roster spot, but to trash draft picks like Knight because you wanted a second guard for example is fruitless, it is done.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
