I do think a team could build a strategy off of trying to hit it big in the draft with mid round draft picks: going "BPA" as they say by looking for those high upside players who tend to be overvalued, but only giving the big money to the ones that pan out.

I tend to think this is the kind of strategy that Vinny wants to use, but he just can't do it in the environment that the Redskins have. Too much pressure to trade your picks for win-now opportunities. But, unfortunately, that's the difference between having a margin for error, and needing to nail the draft every year to support the age of your team from going all 2003 Raiders on us.
