We've tried to BUY a DL with expensive guys like Griff, Carter and Jason Taylor; and hope a an occasional fifth round draft pick will hit the jackpot. The problem with using FA in one area is that it makes your depth very thin AND you end up with older players who get hurt easier.

You also have the problem of expensive FAs who come here for the paycheck! They hit paydirt and throttle back to last longer. Remember guys like Dana Stubblefield, Bruce Smith, etc? Feel like Springs is easing up this season?

You've got to draft with some of your highest picks; pick up some modest FA talent [perhaps like E. James] and get the occasional big dollar FA. We've build our DL house with no foundation.
