We all want better players at every position, but we need to put a higher priority on replacing our poor players before we start commiting resources to replacing average players.
It is not as easy to replace starter quality players in the NFL as some people seem to think. In the ten years fron '06 to '15 there were 345 players taken in the third round. Less than half of them (162) started more than 20 games in their NFL career. Only about a quarter (99 of 345) was a starter (started at least 8 games) for more than two seasons in their career.
