But somehow we don't actually invest in the scouting department necessary to do justice to that statement. Apparently all it takes to build through the draft is to subscribe to the same " scouting services" as all other teams in the league. Having your home grown well built scouting staff is for suckers who don't know how to pocket a GM bonus from the work done by "scouting services" and coaches.

Model model and all that. Except when it comes to investing in the scouting department like the aforementioned model. Then,  it's "what model, we have access to all the same scouting services as everybody else." Honestly,  the whole "building through the draft" statement just seems like a deflection.

WTS, at least they've been opening their wallets in FA the last couple years,  so perhaps they see just how lacking they are in their drafting and scouting. Maybe they'll slowly start upgrading the football side of the business in the next few years.  We'll see.

Problem is they can only keep spending money like they did this off season for 2 more seasons then JoeyB gets his big pay day and say good bye to a lot of the spare money for free agency.  

It'll take a lot for this team to ever change the operations side of the business.  Mikey boy was ridden hard by the local and national media back in the 90's and early 2000's for having such a small front office and he said exactly what you said above "they have access to everything every one else does".
