We could just as easily have had a bunch of draft picks that slowly proved to be bad bets, too. Ol' 50/50 anybody?

Yeah, but draft picks don't inflict as much damage to the cap. If they don't pan out, at least you have more room left to make adjustments.
And I've never understood why the Redskins seem to be the team that worries about playing rookies more than anyone else in the league. It's as if they selected players from middle school. What are they so afraid of?
By now, there should be no doubt as to which strategy doesn't work.
