Stacey Andrews, Sean Brewer, Mattias Askew, Margus Hunt, Artrell Hawkins. They love athletes. But have too many that never pan out. Projects in rounds 5+ are fine but when your team building strategy is tied directly to your draft there is little room for error.
With a salary cap you can't resign everyone but it's critical to sign the right guys. If you aren't going to use FA then you have to hit on a few draft picks every year and some of them have to become +++ players.
I forgot about Andrews.
Clearly brute strength doesn't translate to the football field in many cases.
The Margus Hunt pick was one of the worst picks we made. He was like 27 years old. He was drafted because they knew they'd lose MJ or Dunlap.
