If you start from scratch, you start with a QB ... find an elite one of those, you're gold.

And then you try and accumulate as many pass rushers as humanly possible while trying to get lucky and snag a few good OL ...

Everything else? It's just so scheme dependent. Look at the Pats. You think Edelman, Hogan and Amendola are great on other squads? Nah. The Pats outscheme everyone and 2nd place isn't even in the same universe.

Scheme means a ton, I'd agree.

I'm just saying, I think an elite CB has as much value as an elite LT.
