We've just been plagued by a bad Front Office for many years. They've made many poor decisions in both the draft and in FA. We haven't been any better in drafting than we've been in FA. I think that our FO needs to do a better job of evaluating all types of players.
I also don't believe it's been proven that the path to success is to go exclusively with the draft. As far as I know, all NFL teams sign FA's.
I recall that when SM was introduced he said that he would use FA. I expect him to do so judiciously.

I dont think anyone is saying to go exclusively with the draft. Successful teams build 90% through the draft and then fill in a hole or two with FAs that can put them over the top. The Skins have so many holes that building through the draft is a must.
