Our 1st Round picks don't generally contribute enough to help us upgrade. And expecting more than 1-2 upgrades in a draft is unrealistic.
I agree. The sad part is 6-8 win talent can quickly be 12 win talent with some fresh upgrades. Some of these holes have existed for YEARS. And they only try to fill them with low round picks. We ever going to get a nickel pass rusher inside to pair with Atkins? A LB who can cover? A safety who ballhawks? (Nelson). A competent center? A kicker with a big leg?
We have 3 years of close to prime Atkins, green, Burfict, and Dunlap. Thats at best. Still have a shot if you spend the cash to fill these holes NOW, not grab a late pick and hope he develops.
