All these are just stop gap players and we might get lucky on one like Bradley. Thats a bonus. Its the right way to do it - this thing is being build with 2010 and beyond in mind. Also about the line - I think the addition of Albert is a pretty big step with that.

I didn't say older guys that suck. I said older players that are solid but not spectacular. I also was not talking about our top draft picks either. The reason why I am harping on the Boiman and Thomas types is because we brought in quite a few of those type plays, and not just as a stop gap as you try to pass it off as. We had one of the worst offensive lines in the league last year. Tell me who we brought in to compete for those spots besides our top draft pick. We had Bowe and others for our receiver corps. Devard Darling was a starter and didn't have a TD reception until last week. How many players did we bring in like Bradley that didn't catch but were expected to compete for an important role on this team. I'd rather have a vet that has proven he can get the job done in a solid manner than to bring in a young guy that may strike lightning in a bottle one out of 100 times. That sounds like Pederson's draft strategy over the last decade. Too many times he reached for a second rounder like William Bartee, Kenyaron Fox, Kawika Mitchell and Junior Siavii instead of taken a player with more proven ability. What's sad is that those players I mentioned all would have been available in the 4th and 5th rounds.
