They're acting like this is a one year fix and it isn't. Just because we have jack and shit in the way of depth doesn't mean we should look to the least efficient mechanism to fill that depth.
Rebuilding like this is a sure way to get to mediocrity, but it won't get us above and beyond that.

I would be more concerned if we brought in guys like Eric Winston that we treated like a 5-year solution. As I've said before, I am not a fan of the Alex smith trade, but am okay with it if it is a stopgap to an aggressive search for a young replacement. Same here with Dunta.
It seems to me that Dorsey was asked by chunt to build a team that is at least good enough to bring arrowhead back to life immediately. I can understand why hunt wants that, as he doesn't seem to want to give a gm yet another 5 year wait and see strategy. I still believe that Dorsey at his core believes in the draft. A move like this seems like one that can help us win some quick games today to revive arrowhead, while not panicking in the draft. More than anything, this move doesn't look to me like a move that will hurt our long term strategy.
