Wes, didn't you know we're a team that builds through the draft? But somehow we don't actually invest in the scouting department necessary to do justice to that statement. Apparently all it takes to build through the draft is to subscribe to the same " scouting services" as all other teams in the league. Having your home grown well built scouting staff is for suckers who don't know how to pocket a GM bonus from the work done by "scouting services" and coaches.

Model model and all that. Except when it comes to investing in the scouting department like the aforementioned model. Then, it's "what model, we have access to all the same scouting services as everybody else." Honestly, the whole "building through the draft" statement just seems like a deflection away from cheapness in FA.

WTS, at least they've been opening their wallets in FA the last couple years, so perhaps they see just how lacking they are in their drafting and scouting. Maybe they'll slowly start upgrading the football side of the business in the next few years. We'll see.
