Man, why is everyone so short sighted for the draft?
If you truly want immediate impact from your draft picks- go the Redskin route. Piss them away signing RFA's or trade them for established players.
The advantage is that there is no break in time.
The disadvantage is that your Cap situation will be a mess every 3 seasons, and you will have zero youth to build upon.
McGahee? Why him? He won't play for a whole year!!!
A QB? I don't want a guy who will sit the bench for a year! How does that get me to a Super bowl in 2004?
I want (fill in blank here) - he can start right away
A WR? We have Moulds and Reed! Why do we need a WR if we are going to run?
Andrews? Why do we need another Tackle? We have Jennings!
DE? We just spent high picks on Denny, Kelsay, Schobel...
Wilfork? What's he gona do behind Adams and Williams?
The purpose of the draft is to restock your team. Moulds, Jennings, Clements, Schobel and our DT's are strong candidates to be cap caualties and or free agents in the near future.
Of the 250 players selected, maybe 20-40 have immediate impact, with maybe 2/3rds of them winning starting jobs. Face it folks, most of the players in the entire draft take 2 years or more to develop.
The Boldins of the world are very rare
