Snyder's way of paying high priced free agents to plug in hole hasnt worked in his 10 years here. Name a player who has lived up to his contract? Maybe a couple, Marcus Washington is the only name I think of...Phat Albert hasnt improved this team so far. It is time for a change, building through the draft is necessary in building a championship team.

Cornelius Grriffin, Shawn Springs, Santana Moss, Randy Thomas, London Fletcher, Phillip Daniels .... And that's only off the top of my head. Plenty of "core Redskins" on that list. Yes.. there were many misses, but let's give credit where credit is due.
As SS has pointed out in the past, we have had plenty of picks and our draft success (in terms of starters & players still on the team) is on par with that of NE.
Bad cap managment is only an issue if it
forces you to forego obtaining talent or to get rid of talent b/c you can't afford it under the cap. We have, and always will (as long as DS is at the helm) managed fine under the cap. This is so because ready cash allows you to manipulate the cap and DS has shown he is willing to provide just that. Is there any player we have not aquired or been forced to cut b/c of bad cap management?
The problem, IMHO, is not bad cap management - it's the scattershot approach taken in team building. A lack of focus fostered by DS's unbridled desire and ability to make constant changes in looking for improvement.
