[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 980159, member: 17987"] Of course you can't be a big spender in every single position (well, sort of) but the point is addressing your initial claim that "you load up on players by giving them money or picking them in the draft". We have not "loaded up" on the aforementioned positions/position groups (WR/OL) by spending big in that area, that's for sure... Which leads to the second option presented: And the bolded portion is more or less making my point for me. You are saying "We loaded up on that position by drafting heavy towards it"...while at the same time admitting that the majority (5 or 6 out of 6 picks) were "zero guarantee" picks. We have not spent heavily on these position groups, nor have we invested heavily by means of draft pick value (no "sure things") at either of these position groups, either. Our version of "loading up" these position seems to be defined not by spending heavily on them nor by investing high-value draft capital but rather by investing in *quantity* and hoping that some of it pans out. I guess it would probably be more accurate to add the following clarification then: There are three ways to "load up" on a position group. One is to spend big cash on it. Two is to invest high-value draft capital. And three is to spend minimally (both in cash and pick value) on an assortment of cheaper prospects and see if one (or more) of them develop for you. And if we're talking in respect to this most recent offseason we certainly did not do (1) or (2). Well, or it could also be that those logs are rotted out or waterlogged and will never catch fire in any appreciable way, but I get what you're saying :P [/QUOTE]
