The answer to that question is what has us in this precarious position. Making sure that you use your alotted selections on premier young talent coming out of the college ranks.

That is something we haven't been doing the past few years and are now suffering as a result. There is too much luck involved when your competitive season relies on none of our full time starters being lost for the year.

Building in the draft through multiple years is the only way we can eliminate the luck factor and be competitive year in and year out.
