You guys got REAL lucky when it came to injuries last year, so you didn't need much depth... but iit appears you've forgotten how completely impotent the Skins' offense became when the offensive line finally suffered some injuries at the end of the season...
I always hear you Boys fan say this. We had our injuries like everyone else. We lost 2 WR's, the majority of our D-Line were battling injuries all season, and the majority of our secondary were battling injuries all season.
Free agents COST more than draft picks do, leaving less cap room to build quality depth...
Yes, but we still bring in the same amount of people for depth. We just chose to go the FA route. Examples:
Instead of drafting another CB to replace Walt we signed Kenny.
Instead of focusing on the OL in the draft we signed Tyson Walter and Mike Pucillo.
Instead of drafting a young QB we brought in Todd Collins who's a vet in Saunders offense.
Instead of focusing on WR's in the draft we traded for Lloyd and signed ARE. (I hate drafting WR's...)
Now, of course it
is possible we're missing out on 4th rounder that we could build into a potential starter, but seeing as though we suck at the draft I'm happy with building through FA.
