They dont do anything in FA, so the Draft is important. 

They have gotten zero from their 1st rounders recently in year 1

All comp picks have been basically awful

And aside from the first 4 rounds in this years draft,  Elliot, Dielman, Wilson, Schreck are all not on the team.  And in thier places we could have used a T or G

There is impetus on every team to hit with their early round picks, however, as teams built in FA quickly fall apart with salary cap issues.  

Schreck is on IR, and Elliott and Wilson are on the PS.  They could still pay dividends down the road.  There probably wasn't a G from round 5 back that was going to knock Westerman off the roster, and no T you could rely on to play significant snaps.
