We need to start drafting linemen and using FA as the way to add skill. Skill players are pretty hit and miss mostly while linemen, bot defense and offense, are much easier to scout and usually come cheaper. If we start picking linemen with our good picks we'd be in better shape.

Well i think we have made progress there. Arch was GW's pick and his alone. Cerrato fought it. Gibbs backed GW and got him what he wanted. Llloyd... that was ALL Gibbs. The D linemen we got in the draft, Blanche undoubtably had alot to do with them... the people responsible for most of the bad personnel decisions this organization has made in recent years are gone. The people responsible for the good ones are still here.
Cerrato will be a good GM. He's a good personnel guy. Sure, he's made some big mistakes... but not recently. I seriously expect all but one or two of our offseason acquisitions (FA and draft) to pan out under his management.
