Agreed. I know they had some success last year with scrap heap guys like Sean McGrath, Ron Parker, Geoff Schwartz, Q Demps etc. They also had some crafty moves that paid off like Hussain Abdullah. To rely upon that to happen every year or even this year will be tough.

Vance Walker was a solid pickup. I don't mind the depth signing of Chris Owens either. Maybe Dressler is that "crafty move" this year? Too many question marks though in my opinion.

Edit: I guess you can assume Dorsey/Reid are relying on guys like Travis Kelce, Sanders Commings, AJ Jenkins, Marcus Cooper, Mike Catapano, Nico Johnson, Rishaw Johnson, and Eric Kush to take gigantic steps this coming season.
