ALL THE KEY PERSONEL ON MOST OF THE TEAMS COMPETING FOR PLAYOFFS ARE DRAFTED, with a few of the players being that key pickup to put them over the top. Of the eighteen new players, how many of them are contributing players, and how many are roster spots? I would imagine most of them are roster spots vs. contributing players. People on this site need to learn how to address people in a manner that is not attacking. I have tried not to do that, but continually get bashed by people who think opinions are facts. Some of the stuff I make reference to are facts, and some are opinions. You can not debate the fact that most of the teams competing for playoff spots draft their key players, with a few FA pickups. Exception may be dallas with Bledsoe,Glenn,and ME,ME,ME on the offense. You people need to stop drinking the Redskin Cool-aid and look at the big picture. I hope Joe is sending us in the right direction. This season is an example of building a TEAM atmosphere. But like I have said before, if Danny , Vinny, and pepper rogers keep making decisions and dont hire a GM with some freakin knowledge we will continue to be .500 every year. People buy into their spin every year, "this year is going to be the year" look we got Marty, look we got Spurrier, look we brought back Joe the great!! Its the same thing no matter who is coaching. When do we start winning, next year right?!!

There are top teams that have core players they didn't draft, to name a few:

Seahawks: QB-Hasselbeck, WR-Jurevicius, DE-Wistrom, DT-Darby, DB-Dyson, DB-Herndon, OL-Fisher, Ol-Gray

Panthers: QB-Delhomme, RB-Davis, WR-Gardner (hahaha, damn I'm funny-Rod "core player" Gardner), DT-Buckner, DB-Lucas, DB-McCree

Broncos-QB-Plummer, DB-Ferguson, DB-Bailey, All those former Browns rejects on the D-Line, TE-Alexander

So while a good draft is part of building a good team. It's not the only way to skin a cat as they say

you have a somewhat valid arguement , the skins could have done a little bit better job of the way they handled some of thier draft picks but your arguement concerning player turnover in washington is not so valid. the skins have had constant turnover in coaching staffs, with each new staff comes a new offensinsive/defensive scheme and with each new scheme comes new players to fit those schemes. the new coaches tell mr. snyder who they want and snyder delivers. the same has been true with gibbs, he will get rid of a player if that player is not a good REDSKIN, also gibbs will tell snyder of a REDSKIN he would like to keep or of a potential REDSKIN he would like to get. the biggest difference since gibbs has been here is he will not allow snyder to OVERPAY for the players he wants to keep or get. the one exception has been brunell but gibb wanted , more than anything, a good ,solid, veteran qb.
