Let me get this straight we had an offensive unit that struggled mightily in 2016, couldn't get 1st downs, couldn't finish drives and constantly settled for 3, tired out our defense with their inability to sustain drives. That already poor unit then loses it's best playmaker in Steve Smith, our alpha dog. A pro bowl fullback, one of the best RT's in football in Wagner, as well as our starting Center.
I'm not even mad about the draft, the offensive players who were worth the value of our pick never made it to us outside of maybe OJ Howard. The issue is FREE AGENCY! We knew this was a weak offensive draft, we knew the board was probably going to fall heavily on defense at our picks. Yet we ignore offense in free agency and sign 2 fat contracts on defense. That is the mis-step here, we should've spent on offense and drafted on defense. I love our defense, but this offense is garbage right now. OL is in shambles, WR core is one of the worst in the NFL... We have problems here guys. I don't see how you fix this unit to a reasonable degree without a significant trade.
