[QUOTE="Jordyruns, post: 437699, member: 3538"] I could not agree more, I understand that the draft is the main way to build a consistently positive team, but this does not mean FA should be completely ignored as it has been the last few seasons by TT. The Patriots build their team mostly through the draft, but will also go out and sign a big name free agent every couple of years. You need to role the dice in FA every once and awhile. Nothing overly risky but it could greatly help the team. They tagged their back-up QB (it was a different situation but not a huge one), they traded for Moss, they sign relativly big names (Thomas, Dillin, Haynsworth, Ochocinco) whether underrated or a few years past their prime. Do they always work.....no, but they are almost always very low risk and often times workout for the best. Lately TT has done nothing at all, maybe I'm wrong but has he done anything the two previous offseasons? I would like to see him sign underrated players that make it past the first few days of FA, and who have no history of selfishness. The few problems the team has are HUGE (ROLB, DE, and maybe DB depth and and OC) and cannot be fixed within the shrinking window of success this current team could have. A coupek thrid round picks are very unlikely to make the difference within this window. I do not want TT to completely change his philosiphy but I feel tweeking it would help [/QUOTE]
