Stacey Andrews, Sean Brewer, Mattias Askew, Margus Hunt, Artrell Hawkins. They love athletes. But have too many that never pan out. Projects in rounds 5+ are fine but when your team building strategy is tied directly to your draft there is little room for error.
How many guys do we draft based on workouts?
Strength - Billings/Westerman/Hunt/Bodine
Speed - Ross/Moch
The Bengals put such a priority on these individual workouts sometimes seemingly ahead of game tape.
With a salary cap you can't resign everyone but it's critical to sign the right guys. If you aren't going to use FA then you have to hit on a few draft picks every year and some of them have to become +++ players.
