We do this every year. Questioning our FO at this point seems silly considering how we have had one fo the best rosters for the last 3 or 4 yearss.
Step 1. Everyone acts like the FO has no clue how to handle resigning players and FA.
Step 2. Fans act like we must retain everyone or else we are doomed.
Step 3. We let certain players go and keep others.
Step 4. Fans complain it's the Browns being cheap and we are going to regret it.
Step 5. We continue to draft and develop players in the back ground without most fans realizing it.
Step 6. Players drafted in mid to later rounds (like a George Iloka) emerge, but the staff and FO already knew they had an acceptable replacement.
Step 7. We go on to the playoffs where a series of unfortunate events causes us to lose.
It is a cycle that doesn't ever appear to miss a beat.
