I sort of think it is and isn't with regards to our tackle situation. I see tackle like QB. Even if you have 2 decent starting tackles, you need to be developing one behind them constantly. Expecting both tackles to make it through the season unscathed is not reasonable, nor is it reasonable to think you can pay both tackles elite tackle money. Always have to be developing a backup plan. 2 elite tackles and a QB on his 2nd contract can easily eat over half your cap space. That's not sustainable long term. 

I don't blame Dan for what happened to Icky, but I think we've been short sighted since drafting him. We've pretty much ignored OL in the draft and that's not something you can do with the attrition rate of OL. 

We have absolutely been short sighted. Fixated on weapons for Bryce mostly. 
And that stupid fuging trade to 1.1, all those picks. It cuts your options down so bad. 
And as bad as it was, we made it worse by creating a huge hole where there wasn’t one with DJ Moore. How many picks were spent trying to fill that hole? Combine them with the picks sent to Chicago…. it’s bartender give me another…. 

 I think it was highly likely that they used a later pick on OT in this draft due to Moton’s situation, before the Icky stuff. We can’t know now.
