Drafting mostly developmental guys caught up with us. Taking 3 years to develop into passable starter (if we're lucky) is not sustainable

And the ones that do develop leave and improve for another team

Wel, that's certainly one way to celebrate the Henry signing.

Perks of having existing starters that are better already. Realistically, a lot of the guys you take on day 3, and especially later in day 3, are going to fall into this category. Regardless of position. If you can really get a starter at any point out of a 5th or 6th round pick, its generally viable.
Most of these guys on most teams end up as depth players or get cut before their rookie contract is even done.
I'm actually not too worried about the OL... as of right now at least.
You've got 2 starters locked in with Stanley and Linderbaum. I've been approaching it all offseason that at least 1 of the G spots is going to be occupied by a younger guy, probably Cleveland in this case.
That leaves 2 open OL spots at LG and RT. Neither is barren although there are some big question marks still. RT you're probably looking to add but have a known solid option in Mekari and a guy that has had moments in Faalele as fallback options. LG you have Vorhees and Sala who are complete unknowns but still options.
All in all, you're probably looking to add 2 starter-ish guys either via the draft or FA, but you aren't dead in the water if you can only get 1.

the alternative at OL is drafting guys early every year
the ravens have mostly gotten away with it (at least on the interior) by drafting multiple guys most years and having a conveyer belt of guys so that the misses dont kill you
a well put summary of what's happened so far

He definitely owns different colored dildos. For arguments sake, of course.

He needed someone to pay his gambling habits.

Whew. Sorry for that. Clowney is definitely my next target and would hate to see him sign somewhere else
can he fetch Lamar's jock

Nah it's not him, he always has to be white
@rmcjacket23 Any update on Ronnie Stanley's new cap number. I'm seeing where the base pay is now 11m, but the overall cap number is still 26.2m.

Didn’t he hate on Harbaugh and his philosophy? No way they bringing him back.
