THIS .. especially the bolded part. But this whole paragraph is spot on.


Given how RR and gang operated in the free agent market last year, I expect them to lean more on the draft, supplementing the roster with capable, under-the-radar type free agents. Sometimes a gem will be uncovered (Logan Thomas), but more often than not, we'll find decent depth that can fill in when injuries hit.

Having said that ... they may swing for the fences on one guy again (like they tried with Amari Cooper last year) ... so ... they could go after one of those big $$$ QB's out there.

But I think they really want to build this roster via the draft. Last year's was pretty productive so far. We do that again, we'll be on our way.
