We've had a lot of good years because we had good drafts. When someone retired, parted ways or whatever, we just pulled up a younger guy. But we've had some misses lately and that's not boding well, especially since we're (whether Marvin wants to admit it or not) rebuilding. Our better players (AJ, Carlos, Geno) likely only have 2-3 more years at the same level they're at now. Even some of our more mid-tier guys like MJ, we aren't really seeing their replacements coming along. It could be they're on the roster and just not getting snaps, but it's not inspiring a lot of confidence.
Definately true that if we think we are going to build through the Draft we damn sure should play those guys.
But i could see guys like Lawson, Ross, Willis, WJ3, Billings, Malone, Glasgow, Evans coming along soon.
These guys all have talent. They are just young and Ross, WJ3 and Billings all pretty much missed their rookie season.
