Doing so would only result in failure and delay the inevitable and much needed reboot. There are too many holes to fill, and as many have stated, there is no guarantee that players drafted to fill those holes will pan out. Also what difference makers are even available in FA? Would they come to play here even if we gave them a serious offer?
The rebuild is coming and I would rather start it sooner rather than continue to watch our mediocre QB behind our lousy O-line try to keep up with the points given up by our lousy defense.
Okay, if we had no one other than the guys on rookie contracts here right now how long do you predict it would take to "re-build"?
We have a lot of talented players here, but it has taken several years to accumulate them. I don't know how we could be better off re-building with zero than rebuilding with established players.
Since the draft is a crap shoot then any "re-boot" based just on draft picks is also a crap shoot. It is much smarter to work with the players we have already found and reduce our gambling with draft picks to just the few major holes that we have right now. On offense we need 2 O-linemen and a TE, On defense we need 2 or 3 LBs and a DT (if we re-sign Dennard). We are not going to get a huge pile of picks for our older expensive players and we are not going to hit on 100% of our picks.
