Tono Romo came from the 6th round or something like that and is now one of the best QB's in the whole league. That's what the skins need to worry about. the DRAFT.
Tom Brady was a 6th rounder (#199 overall pick)
Tony Romo was undrafted, and signed with Dallas as an UDFA after college.

But I concur, teams should build from the draft and mold that "core" group of players that will make up their team for several years, and then plug free agents in a key positions to complement.

Admittedly, New England has done this very well over the last decade. They had a solid core of players on both sides of the ball. All they needed last year was a serious recieving threat. So they went out and got Moss and Welker. And for good measure added Stallworth to the mix.
