While we may draft positions of need: C, RT, LB, etc. we typically haven't filled actual needs: which is starters.

Just because we draft a position that we need doesn't mean these guys will pan out. Conversely...we'll be lucky to have 2 guys from the upcoming draft be quality starters here.

Some guys get forced to start due to no other options (Bodine)...but that doesn't mean we filled a need.

I read about the perils of free agents...how you sign them and pay a lot and they may not pan out. Well, there is atleast game tape for them against NFL level talent. Our draft pick miss rate is arguably much higher than the free agent rate.

Food for thought.

Mikey Brown disagrees with you.

Of course Mikey Brown disagrees on many common sense matters.
