    Crazy thing is that none of those picks were off-the-wall reaches. They just all have managed to underperform in ways varying between "meh" and "out of the league unplayable"

    I was shocked when he took Scruggs. I'm an Ohio State fan and watched Scruggs play at PSU and he was nothing special. He was at PSU 4 years and B1G media voted him to their THIRD team all-conference AFTER his senior season. He was a decent college football guard but there was NOTHING to suggest that he was going to be a decent NFL guard and Caserio used a 2nd round pick on him? Horrible pick. Just DUMB.

    ...and Scruggs was the one I was thinking about when I said "meh" in my last post

    I would have been ok with Scruggs using a sixth, but a second?

    Kenyon Green is the one that absolutely kills me. He was a mauler at A&M, then somehow completely forgot how to play basic OL the minute he came to Houston.

    To paraphrase Jerry Glanville, when Green was thinking about the NFL he didn't realize that stands for "Not For Long"

    I have a feeling Cal and Hannah might push them to put more resources into the O-line. Which they should have done last year. They have an extra 2nd from the commanders use that and the first idc. Atleast show that you are trying
