Next year they'll be "building through the draft" (again), but will be telling us all how difficult the 2014 schedule was. That after saying that the less-difficult schedule of 2013 had nothing to do with their "success".
So debate away about the nitty gritty, debate the color of the uniform and how tight to torque the cleats, but in the end I doubt on 4/6/2015 we'll be basking in the glory of a super bowl win, we'll be hearing (again) about how cap space kept us from picking up studs in FA, and how that's not our style anyway.
So I'm not mad, I'm just noting that the beat goes on even if the drummers and conductor(s) have been replaced.

Phisophically, I agree with the build through the draft approach.
However, I can not support the mixed approach that the two off seasons have entailed.
Building through the draft behind trading two premium picks for a 29 year old QB is limiting any potential window.
When the pieces you are adding in this draft are ready, Smith and other pieces you already have in place will be hitting the end of their windows.
These contradictory moves are almost assuredly setting this franchise up for an endless cycle of mediocrity.
