90 million in cap space

Team biult largely through the draft

 

THat is the real beautfy of what you just said.we CAN keep this team together....and improve upon it

This team isn't bulit on the draft much at all.  Of the starters on O, Allen, Dawkins and Singletary are your only picks, Ford is starting, but out of injury, not performance, Knox is trending towards full time starter, so you can call him one.  The D has Oliver, Lawson, Edmunds and White as the only real players who were drafted.  So either side, its less than 50% from the draft.

 

To be "built through the draft" the way they claim, draft picks have to actually contribute and not get replaced by FA siginings.

 

Facts, lots of money to spend in FA, keeping this group together is plausible.

Wrong....just absolutely wrong

 

Ford is starting because they want him to be the ORT.......and he is getting better and better every day...he was drafted to be a STARTER

The thing that you are missing is that the CORE players of the team (most of them) were drafted....Allen to the O.....Edmunds to the D.....our shut down corner was drafted.....2 of the 5 offensive linemen starters were drafted.

 

NO TEAM completely biulds through the draft......take a look at he contracts that free agents have been given.....mostl short term reasonable contracts.....why?

 

- Because the players around the "core" players are interchangable

- Players on shorter contracts dont get to comfortable

 

WHen you draft your core players.....and dont give out long term contracts.....you are biulding through the draft

Fact is they had a big mess to clean up from the previous regime. Three years later though, things are looking really good.
