An abundance of draft picks to help promote what is sure to be a rebuild. In my opinion…. Not to mention the opportunity to clear up cap space so that we can be aggressive when the time is right.
SMH.... I don't know. We have a solid core on defense. We also have a decent O-line, and getting better. No, we are NOT a complete team, but not ready for a complete rebuild either. We had a good, solid, off-season last year. Picked up a lot of support. Made a lot of gains. One thing I feel pretty certain about..... Trading away GOOD proven talent for unproven, mostly unplayable, college rookies is an exercise in futility. I base that statement on the "hit rate" for drafted rookies in the NFL. It's not GOOD.! And, it's not an exact science.
Once you have good players you hold on to them, and build around them... You don't throw them away and 'hope' to start over with a bunch of college junk rookies (IMHO..). YES, I know I said "junk". But the truth is..... The "hit rate" on draftees in the NFL is less than 50%....And when you get into the 4th round and later, it's WAY less than that.
Just my opinion, of course. And I'm frequently wrong. So, there's that.....
