At what point are you OK with a total rebuild

[THE PISTONS]

I don't know that NFL Teams really need to do a full trade all the stars for draft picks and lose for 3-4 years like teams in other sports do. Yeah the Raiders and Browns are both in various phases of it, but I think it's not necessary.

IF you can nail 2-3 drafts in a row and get a bunch of quality players over that 2-3 years...you are competing. It's what we did starting with Dalton and Green years ago. We just started to miss a lot at some point. And we missed in a big way with Ced and Fisher.

Then with cap space, you sign a few upgrades and bam...you remake your roster in a hurry.

That said, we just don't use free agency in a big way except on rare occasions.
