Many in the fan base were calling for this team to address the the offensive line during the 2024 draft. That's not hindsight. We all worried that Ragnow might be considering retirement and we did indeed see it. We saw the decline in play from Glasgow. We wanted a long term plan in place for the interior of this line and we didn't get it. I know they drafted Ratledge, but they still had more needs than that and they didn't address them. Please, spare me 5th round picks used on Fraizer and Manu. They needed to invest more high round draft capital or sign someone to shore up the line.
Many of us in the fan base were clamoring for this front office to address their pass rush situation and get Hutchinson some help along the line. Again, this front office did nothing. Instead, they banked on oft injured guys helping them out like Marcus Davenport, Paschal, and Levi. And guess what happened? The injured guys got injured. Now, Trey Hendrickson was always a pipe dream. But they could have done something in the draft, in free agency, a trade. Instead, they realied on what they had in house like the smartest guys in the room and it backfired.
We also got a Brad Holmes press conference full of receipts, arrogance, and dismissal of what many thought yous teams needs were. This season falls at Holmes and the front office's feet in many ways.
