But a bunch of the teams that "are doing it right" regularly use free agency to replace draft misses when they're close. Granted they're not always successful, but sometimes they are.

Almost nobody wants us to be the Redskins, Eagles, Cowboys, even Browns to a degree that often try to "buy teams". That rarely to never works. The key is knowing when to pull the trigger and who on.

The vibe here is pretty strong for a big splash in FA or else the season is lost.  Maybe.
