[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 716709, member: 10441"] I'd say any time you get 4 years and lots of play out of that many guys in a draft class being as successful as GB has been, it's a successful draft. You can't keep them all and in a year we had to re-sign a franchise LT from that draft and had another guy at a premium position in a contract year, it changes the situation. Even draft and develop teams have to get play from young cheap players, we did that and we still have most of our core together. We're missing our shut down corner due to injury, but we did not have one from that draft class anyway. If we did, I bet we would have had 3 big contracts signed this year. The bigger mistake would have been to sign those guys to more money than they got elsewhere. There's always going to be some ebbs and flows to the roster. This happens to appear to be an ebb year. It happens, it has to happen regardless of who the QB is. To not expect it is just unrealistic. It leaves us with a lot of questions heading into the season. But we have a draft and more cuts coming to see what we end up with for a roster. If they hit a homerun pick or 2, a championship is a definite possibility this year. [/QUOTE]
