Areas like of team like OL, DL, DBs, WRs etc.

He'll also use up an awful lot of cap room which could be used towards the same team building.

And if we want to use those supposed odds you used earlier, the above plan has a success rate of, what, 5%?

And he'll win us enough games that we'll be nowhere near the pick you would need to get the next Griffin, meaning it would cost much more than it would now, assuming we even lucked into another situation of a QB as good as Griffin being available and the team holding the pick having no need for a QB.
