Just to be clear, my position is a team should build through both. I don't think anyone would argue that you can build through free agency alone.
The draft is always of extreme importance. Especially now, with the value of a rookie deals. I wouldn't argue that, and I don't think OP is either.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if you have money available to improve your team through Free Agency then you should use it. Not at the complete expense of the future, but also not to just let it sit unused either.
If we go out and draft so well that we have no money left to spend on outside players then that's one thing. But that's not currently the case. We're projected to have a pretty significant amount of space. And we'll have an even greater amount if we choose to move on from a guys that aren't close to earning their contracts.
If there's money available, then why not be agressive again?
