The Steeler's are a classic example. They know their system, they know the player that need in their system to make not only the player succeed, but the team.

Then, they go out and draft, trade or add FA's. to fit the team system, grab guys who fit in their mold.

The Pats do the same. Yes, they both have had HOF QB's at the head, one has a HOF coach, the other had an average to good coach (Tomlin) in my opinion, but Tomlin just came in and continued the Steeler's system with a few tweaks.

100%.

We have had 32 draft picks in the last 3 years yet our cupboards are bare. We have never developed a defined system in the Mikey timeline and never drafted to that system. It is simply a year to year fill the roster with whomever we drafted approach.
