Everything was calculated from day one and Shanahan made the types of moves where we're going to actually have hope this year balanced with a few young players. You can't nail it in a single draft.

Never said anything about nailing it in a single draft, that would be insane. I am patient. I can wait another 3 seasons of .500 or so football as long as we are constantly improving, and building. I just hope this isn't a reocurring pattern for the Allen/Shanny era, in having to acquire guys on the verge of retiring or just burning out. Joey Galloway still has some left in the tank, as does Housh, but they are at the twilight of their careers and probably won't be here when we do get to the "promised " land.

I don't get it though. What is the pattern? Use your draft picks to address areas of need while picking up cheap vets to fill holes that you can't address through the draft? To me, that's a pretty sound strategy to at least be semi-competitive year in and year out.

Now, had we spent our first rounder on an RB or WR I would have been pissed, but I really think they have a plan to make us good now AND build for the future at the same time.
