[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 876017, member: 13032"] Your points are all good and spot on. TT’s “draft and develop” philosophy worked well with Nelson, Cobb, and Adams. But to work, draft and develop requires consistent, solid drafts where two or three (or more) draftees eventually turn into starters. Yes, surprises have been found in later rounds (to me that’s rounds 4, 5, 6, and 7) but the odds are better with people picked in the first 3 rounds. I’ve always felt that FA was a necessary tool to build a team because draft and develop was not infallible. Gluten used FA well last year. And that makes this draft all the more puzzling. I will except Dillon. I think that’s a wise pick because he can 1) probably contribute immediately, 2) he provides insurance if Jones demands $15 mil/year after this season, and 3) he fits the MLF heavy-run, RPO scheme. And this has been repeated ad nauseum, but in the richest WR draft in memory, Gluten could have found a way to get a WR - in the draft - not the UDFA market. Anyway, that’s puzzling. Maybe Gluten’s reasoning is right - their “guy” was gone by the time they picked. Such is the fate of having a good season and drafting late. That doesn’t explain picking up, much less trading up to get Love. I hope I’m eating my words in a few years, and Love is the man. Doing it now just seems 2 or 3 years early. For some reason, Gluten LOVES Love....... [/QUOTE]
