I hear you. I think the argument some would make against that is that our bench doesn't have a lot of people we drafted. That most other teams have used the later rounds of the draft to get young guys who can fill the roster. Whereas we overpay for past their prime free agents.

No, that's a legit argument, and I'm there.

I guess I've always assumed that it was the other way around though.
I was just pleasantly suprised that we had that many starters we actually drafted.
