Yes, but I'm not saying use FA's to fill a hole or two. I'm saying that FA's seem to be getting younger all the time, so if the Skins could only do a good job of scouting and researching the work ethic and character of young FA's, then they might be able to pick up a few at value prices to supplement each draft. They would be essentially the same as draft picks only better because they have already proven they belong in the NFL.
