CB and DL are usually positions where you have to invest early (1-3) in the draft, or spend a shit ton in FA to get quality players.
The freedom that Wharton, Danna, Fenton & Sneed (and possibly Baker) are going to give us is under the radar as one of the best things we have going for us as we look 3 years down the road.
We are able to look elsewhere in the draft, and while these guys are on their cheap contracts, we are able to spend to retain our stars and pursue FA's.
If we can continue this hit rate in the draft, we aren't going anywhere for a while.
