I think the evidence presented by the success of winning organizations demonstrates it has to be done this way. If you want to be an annual contender, you’ve got to build through the draft. There is no other way. So in order to do this, you have two choices. You can either hit on nearly all of your draft picks each year (a practical impossibility) or you can stockpile lots of picks each season. It makes intuitive sense that the Packers and Patriots would have so many successful picks when you see them reel in nine and 10 player classes just about every year. Picking four and five times each year like the Redskins do just doesn’t cut it. Couple this draft with our core group of players and two more drafts like this one, we could be well on our way to being a consistent contender. The makings of the last three days is a good start.
