You combine losing FAs with a draft class that isn't even on the team anymore, save one, it has trickle effects for years to come. Bobby Hart starting at RT is just one issue associated with it....
Especially for a team that “builds through the draft”. When your team is built through the draft with no above average starters coming through FA you can’t afford to miss on an entire draft. At minimum you need one clear as day starter/upgrade and really probably need 2-3 each draft if you want to compete for playoff victories. We only have one guy left just a few years later and he’s not even (or maybe barely with his new contract) a starter. He’s definitely not a difference maker
