It doesn’t have to be through the draft. In fact it is mathematically difficult to do. 7 draft picks 52 man roster that’s making dudes stick around 8 years. It is not happening.
Fact is this is a value game. What good teams do is achieve more production per unit salary cap than asshats who whiff in the draft or overpay for shit FA.
I’d argue that a Husain Abdullah type is just as important as the top 5 Eric Berry type pick. I love Berry as much as (probably more than) anybody. But Abdullah was probably more productive per unit salary cap than Berry. Probably a bad example because berry is ****ing good but you can see my point. You have to have cheap production. You need a star or two to grab a play when you have to have one but this whole thing is about cheap production.
The problem is too many guys bought what Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards was spouting off about building through the draft when he was grounding about in Arrowhead. **** that piece of shit. You have to make sound personnel decisions at all levels, draft, FA, trade, retention, staff, all of it.
Excorcise Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards from your being. The draft isn’t any more important than any other aspect of personnel. Sure if you hit a draft pick it is SUPER efficient money, but you don’t “build through the draft”. Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards was a fraud and a joke.
It’s about production per unit salary cap. That’s all.
