I'd rather see us use our picks to gain depth at key areas and build a foundation where we have guys ready to go should we lose a starter or two to injury. Right now, because we focus so much on names, when a guy goes down, there's hardly anyone on the roster to fill the position and we have to rely on the waiver wire.

But, if that o-line isn't blocking well to begin with, it would negate any effective running game and prevent JC from having time to even get to that fourth checkdown option. We need to groom our own talent instead of going after players in their '30s.
