Everyone hated the WR coach until we grabbed a couple good WR prospects in the early rounds and they developed nicely as rookies.
Yes, we've finally started to invest draft capital into the OL. But acting like the array of 2nd and 3rd day picks we've invested into prospects there over the last 15 years is some bounty is a bit silly.
We've used a late 2nd, 2 late 3rd and a 5th on the position in the last DECADE.
That's it. 4 picks that average out to roughly the 99th overall pick. The median is around pick 94.
So in a decade we've used 4 picks that are the rough equivalent of a late 3rd round pick each -- the hit rate on those is going to be damn low, especially at OT. you're looking at maybe a 25% success rate for picks in that area and 'success' for those picks means "occasional starter".
Morris actually qualifies as a successful 96th overall pick.
We're not getting less with more out of our OT investments in the draft. We're getting about what we should expect with less.

Yup. Again it’s a CP overreaction. Creed is the best C in football, Trey was a pro bowler who got all-pro votes. Allegretti was a 6th rd pick who got paid to be a starter, Wylie was a journeyman when he got here and Heck got his ass paid too.
The fact that Wanya was a functional tackle for stretches of the last 2 seasons is a success. He’s a swing tackle. None of those guys are long term solutions.
And people bitch about Jawaan as if the penalties aren’t who he was and will be. Sean Payton is an excellent offensive coach and his staff can’t even fix Garrett Bolles who has also been a penalty drive machine is entire career.
I’m convinced the folks that want these coaches fired need to be tied up and forced to watch the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 or 2012 Chiefs to see bad coaching.
It’s like people are just picking holes to be angry. This is an elite coaching staff. I wish people would enjoy it instead of shit on it constantly.
