"General manager A.J. Smith has built a powerhouse that should contend for championships for the next several years. Rarely does he use free agency to fill needs. In fact, he understands the dynamics of the draft and places a high premium on compensatory draft choices."

we are in dire need of some fa's to come in at cb and lb. that being said, this actually makes a lot of sense to me. compensatory draft picks are basically freebees. so while it's very easy to watch the wires and say, " we need this guy to make us good", quality over quantity is waayyy better. i'd like to see some of our draftees given a shot like the mlb mitchell and please get meacham on the field this year!! rather than grabbing many teams throw-aways for competition at weak positions. our 06 draft was a great one, and 1 or 2 more like that will enable us to be able to play this game to have depth at positions, like rb, and get free draft picks. we could at least get a bone thrown our way and get a 7th for the play of jason david alone
