[QUOTE="13 Times Champs, post: 438226, member: 4925"] I don't know if anyone can say the Packers have won or lost at this point. That will play out during the 2012 season. Last year letting a free agent walk didn't work so well. I agree that the best way to build a team is through the draft. I also agree that the kind of money thrown around the first few days of free agency is ridiculous. Teams like the Redskins do the entire league a disfavor with the money they spend on free agents. They set the bar high for acquiring talent via free agency and drive up player salaries in the process. But, I still think that free agency is a tool that can and should be used. Unlike some I think there is a certain urgency to this team despite the fact it was 15-2. The defense needs attention now. Can we wait two, three, or more years down the road and address these needs entirely through the draft? I say the door of opportunity slams shut just as it opens. I would hate to see such a good offensive team stymied in its tracks. I noted Bill Polian was mentioned as one who favors the draft approach and is an example of how that pays off. Yet Peyton Manning was able to win only one Super Bowl. During those years the Colts rarely if ever had a formidable defense. I don't want to see the Packers in the same position and end their run at one. One more thing. The Patriots have won 3 Super Bowls and have used free agency extensively. [/QUOTE]
