I've advocated the draft as the only way to build a team that is a championship contender. However, I realize that draft picks do not always work, nor should you stop looking to other areas for help.
So, with that said:
Why sign a 32 year old Thomas Jones when you can sign a 27 year old Mike Bell to perform the same role (and suffer little to no drop off in production at a low price)?
Why not pursue a guy like OJ Atogwe, who is both of a reasonable age (28) and not pursuing a monster deal?
Why not look at a guy like Pashos for a couple million per year instead of investing that same amount in Ndukwe and O'Callaghan, both players we know can't play the position?
Why resign Mike Vrabel when he was a pouting bitch and a broke dick mother****er last year?
Why not look at a guy like Dwan Edwards, who is a cheap and ideal 2 gap DE, instead of some Patriots scrub like LeKevin Smith?
