I gotta chime in...this whole "Oooh look at how many guys we drafted are starters" is the same BS Mike Brown and Marvin spewed at that disastrous press conference towards the end of Carson's tenure.
What made it worse then is that we were coming off a terrible season and he pointed to it with such a sense of pride. If you draft and start players, then suck, why the pride?
Given all that...yes, NOW we have had good teams the past 4 years and a lot of it was due to homegrown talent, but I'm not willing to compliment on us now for the same reason. We didn't change...we just are riding a bit of a positive wave now but it's with the same philosophy that made us 4-12 not many years ago.
