The 2014 draft...only Dennard is still on the roster. He's been underwhelming too. He is a Nickel CB who doesn't get many interceptions.
2012 draft...only 1 player still on the roster in Kirkpatrick.
2011 draft...only Dalton and Green remain.
2010 draft...only Dunlap and Atkins.
That equates to a bunch of young guys forced to play.
...and when you add this to our FA strategy, which involves rarely signing anyone worth a dang, you have our records over the last 3 years.
We rely 100% on the draft so we have no room for error...and we've had plenty of errors.
