I think we managed some awesome deals last season, not sure we can count on that every year with the cap getting higher.
It would be nice to actually draft a stud we can pay rookie scale to for 4-5 years...
There are quality free agents out there that wont cost an arm and a leg. There are always teams that overpay for players. Its not like free agent offensive linemen from this year onward are going to suddenly cost mega contracts. As the NFL salary cap goes up, so do players salaries including offensive linemen. Thats just the way it is and the way it has been.
Yes, it would be nice to be able to draft quality linemen but if you dont have a good enough scouting department to identify these talented offensive linemen and you keep drafting guys like Adeniji and relying on these types of players when they dont have the talent, your only other option to improve those positions is free agency.
