They haven't had a first round pick since 2016 and won't have another one until 2025. They also don't have a pick this year in the first 4 rounds. That's handicapping your team....no new talent in on rookie deals, and you will not be good for very long.
They're going to be a bottom of the barrel NFL team soon.
Even if you are the best in the league at signing free agents and trading for players the economics just do not work. At some point you have to be getting production from draft picks that are playing on cheap first contracts. You can't afford an entire roster of veterans.
