Message: [QUOTE="OrangeMuskyFish, post: 111484, member: 261"] Kind of surprised more hasn't been made out of it yet, but until the OL solidifies, it is very hard to get kids drafted high unless they are tremendously heavily used targets (ala Mike Williams and Sanu). RBs can't run through walls 2 yards behind the LOS, QBs can't show off the gun without time, and likewise, WRs can't get downfield in time. Also a good OL is critical for extending drives and making sure we are running enough plays that these kids have enough opportunities for scouts to grade them out and pump up their statistics. This might be issue number one on this team. You build that OL, and skill players will get drafted. You get those guys drafted, and they will be followed through the system by guys who have the physical abilities to get drafted higher. [/QUOTE]
