The Chargers do the same thing. They laughed at the turnstile Tevi comments last year. After one season they dropped him and drafted a rookie this year.
LT has a huge impact. When Castonzo was out it was like a 4 win difference between when he was on the field. Why gamble on such a long shot when you have plenty of money to sign a much better rated vet. You want to develop him, I'm ok with that, do it from the bench.
Ballard goes into every season with these obvious holes. Two years ago it was WR, last year it was pass rush, this year will be LT until they sign someone. I get that he wants to develop through the draft, but it takes time to develop rookies and it seems we are constanly rebuilding some position group. And the whole reason we are here drafting DE's with our top picks is because we struck out on the previous ones.
