Yeah, because they had the luxury of being able to pick OL in the first rounds. They are stacked at QB/WR/TE/OLB and their defense was one of the tops in the NFL so they can afford to spend those picks on OL. When our skills positions are that of theirs, we can do the same. Rodgers OL was horrible 2-3 years ago and was even up there with Jason Campbell on the most amount of sacks taken. Their run game was all but non-existent as well or it appeared that way.

It wasn't there first mistake and i'm certain it won't be the last.
And such is the case for every FO even for teams that win championships.
Hopefully RT doesn't become a weak link in the offense.

They aren't infallible as noted by the horrible McDummy trade. However, you act as if the team can predict a person's health. If he passed a physical and checks out with the doctors, then it was worth a shot trading a 3rd or 4th rounder for a pro-bowl tackle. I'm sure many would have done the same.
Also, why would RT become a weak link? Was it last year? In fact, the line performed better when TW and JB weren't in the lineup. (mostly) I posted the starting lineup the last 4 games.
12 @ Seattle Seahawks 110 yards
13 New York Jets 100 yards
14 New England Patriots 170 yards
15 @ New York Giants 123 yards
16 Minnesota Vikings 141 yards
17 @ Philadelphia Eagles 130 yards
The first half of last season was dismal only having two games over 100 yards rushing (172 and 196) against the Cards and Rams. The second half they turned it on and produced against VERY good teams with legit defense lines. We need WRs that can get open and that have the ability to produce YAC as well. We had none up until now.
