You’re really confusing separate issues, coaching, system, talent and how it’s being applied on the field. Coaching change three or is it four seasons in a row? Different schemes, position coaches etc….that’s an offensive line killer, no continuity, even with players here, playing musical chairs. Scheme fits, QB by committee, injuries they all play a role. Like you stated, spent enough resources already, well I can name 4 first round picks, either player or equity, that were reaches, but that doesn’t mean you stop improving OL, just means you gotta get it right.
Listen’ed a bit to Caserio on 610 today admit they gotta get this corrected, improve processes, better analytics (frankly I’m shocked he admitted as much, but it’s all true). If those issues don’t change this offseason and draft the McNairs have a bullseye on his back, nothing personal just business.
Now let’s get back to the draft part. If process is right/fixed, you don’t reach for needs, instead select BPA like they’ve been supposed to be doing, you don’t pass on an offensive linemen, regardless of round, measured against pool of talent that shakes out, on your big board.
So while I’m agreeing with you on some levels, we need clarity & cohesiveness to level up to the competition, each draft class is unique with different positions of strength and weaknesses. Just because Texans have reached, repeatedly on the offensive line, doesn’t mean when the time comes and BPA actually is a tackle, guard or center you don’t take him, you absolutely should if it improves your room and makes the biggest impact. Regardless, the heat is on and this time Nick just needs to get it right.
