[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 144190, member: 431"] We have to be realistic about the quality of depth as we all saw how teams go after FA's whether they are starters, backups, whatever. A "B" backup would bring $3-5 mil in todays world. It's more obvious today than ever that drafting guys who will be under contract for the least amount they will be getting for a few years is the way to get quality backups. You "capture" them until they get so good they beat out the starter or move on in fA. Our problem was we needed so many STARTERS we had to rob the rookie pool to get where we are. Especially in '05 when we had no money to compete in the FA market. All of this is why having "luck" on your side as far as the injury bug is so important in todays NFL. Any team can cover certain positions because they happen to have depth there but if the list grows teams get weak pretty fast. We DO have some guys that can come in and play and thats encouraging.
