There are exceptions, of course, but they are the exceptions to the rule.If you get your "silver bullets" from the draft, they're a lot cheaper, at least initially. In order to do that, you have to pick the right guy, and then put up with the rookie growing pains. That's the trade-off. Edge rushers, which the Packers desperately need, are at a premium, so teams will almost certainly have to overpay for those in free agency. Teams who have a quarterback on a rookie contract are obviously in a better position to "break the bank" for a top-tier edge rusher in free agency......Teams like Green Bay, not so much.That's just the reality of it.</blockquote>
