How convenient you forgot that.Seriously, who are the guards that TT coulda/shoulda brought in the last couple years? There was nothing but grossly overpaid big name players and lower level journeymen. It is easy to say he should have replaced them...on this we agree....but who are they? Seriously...names.Holmgren was a 3rd choice...how did that turn out?Sure, pay Hutch $7 million per year...what then do you pay your tackles and what cap implications come into play down the road?Simply put, I believe you build through the draft and bring select FAs in to put you over the top....as was the template for our SB years. Clearly, you prefer to build the foundation with FAs and draft to put over the top. Problem is, in that scenario, you will rely on young unproven draft players to put the team over the top. I would rather develop them on the front end. Plus, as has been displayed for the last decade plus...building a team with a high ratio of FAs inevitabl;y leads to cap hell and a total teardown of the team before it can again rise like the proverbial phoenix...ala SF and Dallas.</blockquote>
