However (this part is my opinion), what BB does do better than anyone else is a) acquire picks (a 4th for a retired player FGS) and b) turn a group of players into championship teams.
this. I don't think too many people have ever thought he was the greatest at drafting. But his philosophy of keeping his roster fleshed out by stockpiling picks has proven effective. Its just a numbers game; make enough picks and some of them are going to hit.
I think they are in for a big step back this year. But a step back in that division could somehow still find the playoffs.
