I think if I'm trying to rebuild, I would bring in draft picks to have my future free agents work with those guys to help get the rookies on board. It seems as though ML and MB can't figure that out!
They do things based on cost. They could have franchise tagged Zeitler or Whitworth but didn't.
They also draft guys to replace future free agents. Eifert to replace Gresham. Fisher and Ced to replace Smith and Whitworth...not because those guys are old...but to save money.
Andre Smith was like 29/30 when they booted him at RT replacing him with Ced and then Fisher. They could have just kept him as the starting RT and only had to worry about Whitworth.
Then, sign a FA Guard like Ronald Leary and bam we have a good offensive line.
