Absolutely! I agree that you have to draft well and a team like say the Browns can't go from terrible to a playoff team in free agency...
But when you have a good roster...which we did last year and the year before...that's when you get those 1 or 2 veterans. Instead we leave holes like Center and have fatal flaws that undo us.
And playoff teams absolutely do bring in veterans in free agency. The Packers brought in Charles Woodson and Peppers. The Patriots brought in Revis and some other guys.
We bring in washed up veterans who will sign cheap.
