One of the things that is enfuriating about this organization is their inability to bring in a pipeline of young players who can replace the veterans. Peterson drafted like pure shit. Pioli decided he was going to target role players instead of drafting core positional talent. While other teams were taking risks on #1 wide receivers and QBs and CBs and left tackles in the early rounds, we were focusing on safeties, 5-techniques, slot receivers, and nickel backs. So we've got a team with very good support players. But you look at each of our core positions and there's nobody in line to take their jobs one day.
