What about '11 when we rebuilt our defense by signing three new starters in free agency? Or when they signed Preston Brown the same year they traded for Glenn just 2 seasons ago

This is why we need to trade down from the #1 pick to get multiple selections. When you trade one player for one pick all you do is create a new hole that has to be filled with that pick.

Why stick with solid over 30 players that won't be here when the roster finally becomes viable through the draft and organic player development? What does that get us? Some guys that are already in decline that will be shells of their prime selves in 3 or 4 seasons when the blind squirrel finally finds a nut in a draft or 2?
There is no such thing as a 3 to 4 year rebuild in the NFL. You get just a couple of years to turn it aroiund. After 4 years you are already losing the first guys you drafted to start the re-build. And you won't be signing any free agents this year to 5-6 year deals. We have to rebuild faster than that.
So we keep guys that will still be soloid players in 2 more years. We just won't have enough picks to turnover the entire roster, and free agents cost ten times as much as rookies.

Did Arizona go without a HC this year?
I said a "decent coach".
You really aspire to be a 3 win team like the Cardinals?
