And I like the reclamations projects in the sense that it is low risk, high reward potentially.
I agree with this but I believe you're missing my issue.
Mike Brown doesn't have "FA as a fall back" like some organizations do. I'd even say our division rivals in Pittsburgh and Baltimore have been equally as stubborn and they put too much stock into just building through the draft and that's that. Those teams have quite a bit of success, but you can see what happens when they don't draft very well and still refuse to put a lot into FA (Baltimore this year, Pitt missing the playoffs 2 years straight a couple of seasons ago).
I'm just afraid that once we hit a rough patch in a draft or two and miss on reclamation projects that the organization will still refuse to go deeper in FA. This isn't my biggest concern in the world since that time is obviously not here, it's just a concern I have for the future years.
