He brought it EVERY game and he could not crack 4.0 ypc behind this line.
I don't know that Barry Sanders would average 4.0 ypc behind this offensive line.
Fix the O-Line FIRST before getting a high-pick RB.
Okay, sure. We sign 2 sure-fire OG starters in free agency better than Good & Haeg and draft OT in the 1st round of the draft, then, yeah, draft RB in the 2nd or 3rd round (but after Pass Rush, please).
But, otherwise? No.

This exactly, overpay as needed.
This high pick makes it easy to justify bad decisions, perhaps somewhat like heroin. We have a top 5 QB and a bottom 5 line. I don't see that there is any priority above the OL.
This team absolutely sucks without Andrew Luck. Lets protect that first. God forbid we somehow manage to create a running game out of the deal.
