[QUOTE="porky88, post: 143961, member: 489"] I obviously went by last season. Washington started more last year and actually will start more this year. I came up with 15. The finished 5-11. The Minnesota Vikings counting Brad Johnson started 14 non draft picks and finished 6-10. The Atlanta Falcons started 12 and finished the season 7-9. The Cleveland Browns started 12 and finished the season 4-12. The Miami Dolphins started 13 and finished the season 6-10. Let’s look at the 12 playoff teams before I hear the those only fit your argument. The Dallas Cowboys started 9 free agents and won 9 games. They started 12 draft picks. The Seattle Seahawks started 6 free agents and won 9 games. Including Jeremiah Trotter and Jeff Garcia the Eagles started 6 free agents and finished the season 10-6 with the NFC East Title. Including Brandon Short the N.Y. Giants started 9 free agents and finished the season with 8 wins. The New York Jets started 6 free agents and finished the season with 10 wins. The New England Patriots started 6 free agents and finished the season with 12 wins. The Kansas City Chiefs started 9 free agents and finished the season with 9 wins. This is the stat of the year. The Indianapolis Colts started 1 Free Agent and finished the season with 12 wins and won the Super Bowl. The Chicago Bears started 10 free agents and finished the season with 13 wins. The New Orleans Saints started 13 free agents and finished the season with 10 wins. Most of them on the Defense. The Baltimore Ravens started 6 Free Agents and finished the season with 13 wins. The San Diego Chargers started 6 Free Agents and finished the season wit 14 wins. Out of the 12 playoff teams only the Saints started more free agents than draft picks. One could say they were the worst team lin 2005 so they had to but then look at the New York Jets. I did not look up every team. In the end it comes down to how good of a talent evaluator the Packers scouting department and the teams above are. I do not believe this is a simple coincidence. I think it’s a copy cat league and for the most part teams are setting the foundation through the draft and building from within. As to your other question you save money, age is always a concern, a lot of free agents are sometimes coming off of injury. It depends on the players. Like I said before I’d gladly take a Justin Griffin and Eric Johnson. Nate Clements is a great player but not for the price he’s asking for. You can’t buy a Super Bowl. [/QUOTE]
