personally I'd be looking at 27 years old and younger.. give guys 5 years in the league

given how long the average player lasts maybe they have a reason for 25.. or maybe it's just a prettier number.. just remember that average is brought down by injuries and guys who were signed but never made an active roster and the like

looking at some guys like Golston who's a good depth guy that might start a bit, he's only 4 years into the league.. Lorenzo Alexander is only 3 years in

you've got Hall at 26 right now (though he's been in the league for 6 years), a can he turn it around guy in Carriker with 3 years exp at barely 26, their number 5 prospect for the year Tryon at barely 26, left to be determined Kareem Moore nearing 26, Blades who they mentioned nearing 26, if they threw in Blades they could've thrown in 25 year old Horton and an even younger Jarmon (perhaps my mentioning of the last two has more to do with how little H.B. Blades did, not that he had a lot of chances), and I think that calling Thomas a flop is a bit premature.. Landry I understand it more but not fully.. yet...

so we may not have youth superstars, but from an insider view we do have a bit of talent or at the least potential
