salary cap hell!

The people responsible for the cap, the draft and hiring of coaches are all the same people. The draft is and will always be a gamble. If your cap strategy relies on hitting all of your draft picks, it's a bad strategy. If you rely on coaches getting the most out of old players on expensive contracts because you missed on draft picks and can't afford to replace the old players because of the cap, it's a bad cap strategy. What you call maximizing the cap only works if both of the other things work but I have yet to see a single team that has made it succeed. This team certainly isn't making it succeed.

No one said your strategy is to hit on ALL of your picks. That’s a straw man if I ever saw one.

There is a difference between being good at drafting versus whiffing consistently. Up until McCoy’s substitution, we were the only team in the NFL that had not drafting a single Pro Bowl performer since 2018. That’s awful.

No one is saying you have to hit on all picks, but hitting on more than a small handful would certainly be nice.

You say the strategy only works if the other two things work, but OF COURSE that’s the case. Yes, for any economic strategy to work, you can’t whiff on who you’re acquiring. We are saying the same thing, only from your perspective you blame the cap for it for your argument’s sake.
