championship teams are built on good draft depth.

what makes good draft depth:
lots of picks and the majority of those picks making an impact in some way.

we have been killing ourselves the last few years and its showing.

i understand we cant sign all our players but jesus sign a few atleast.

Someone mentioned that loosing smoot didnt cost us, it did, we had to use a 9th overall pick to HOPEFULLY replace him.

all the picks to the jets a few years ago is costing us. we still havent received any value from all those picks(hall is a kicker and has missed too much time, morton cut, coles gone, moss for coles i guess we will see).
giving away a 2nd round pick for the champ portis trade was stupid. spending 2 1st round picks on a QB in 4 years...

we are filling the same holes with draft picks every year. first round pick for gardner, then another first acouple of years later for another 1st which was traded for another wr. ramsey with a first, then campbell. what did all that get us? an injury prone but explosive wr and a shellshocked QB. campbell wont see playing time this year. dont kid yourself, saint gibbs will let brunell play before campbell.

now the texans on the other hand, the last couple of drafts have produced great players. carr is better than ramsey, but still some questions. dominik davis was rookie of the year and a steal later in the draft. andre johnson has already made the probowl. dunta robinson will make the probowl this year.
