Like I said, Mike Brown has made trades and done stuff but for the most part it seems like he regards moves and actions that are becoming more and more standard practice in today's NFL as being newfangled and unnecessary. 

His system might work in something like the NBA where you have 5 guys on the court and a roster of 12-15 people. Generally the Top few picks are pretty obvious there and you get a star and it can carry you for 10-12 years.

In the NFL where you need 22 guys and depth because of injuries...it's just pretty impossible for his system to work unless they nail 3-4 drafts in a row.
