That seems too painfully simple.

While I agree we shouldn't just toss our draft picks around like we did in the past, many of our players are getting up there in age and we could use some young experienced talent. We'd be stupid to pass up a young player who isn't asking for an insane contract (if there are still any out there) and just go for depth. While the draft is a way to bring in talent, unless they are a high profile pick, I don't see very many of them getting lots of playing time this year (unless there is an injury, trade, etc). Just like we got lucky to have Doughty backing us up, and he had at least a year of ST play and getting to know the defensive playbook. Just throwing a 21 year old draft pick, fresh out of college back there probably would have spelled disaster.

Depth signings - absolutely
Stagnant through FA? - Not quite.
