Seattle philosophically thought that they could stay finding athletes and teach them how to play offensive line. Perhaps they also noticed that pedigreed college offensive linemen were busting out more-and-more and thought it's a position you needn't sink a lot of resources into. Instead you get a bunch of athletic guys to compete and coach up whoever wins. Also, Wilson ran around and made it seem like their plan was workable.


Giants acquired players they just were the wrong players. They also struggled to develop anyone remotely talented that they had and, bizarrely, they consistently bet on slow footed guys who got killed by edge speed.


Broncos situation actually makes sense just didn't work out.

Paxton Lynch was a high pick. He is the pedigreed developmental player, athletic, raw, to be brought along slowly. And they tried that, he just isn't coming along and probably never will.

Trevor was drafted as depth fodder but earned everything he got in practice and by playing well when he got the chance. Athletic, good attitude, liked by teammates. Seemed like hey, we developed him this far, not sure he is the guy but if he keeps making believers out of us, lets see how far it can go.

Osweiler was the safety net. Knew the system, had played well in it before, had the measurables. Figure, if the first rounder doesn't work, and the promising scrappy guy doesn't, maybe this guys can at least do what he did before.
