I don't see any reason why the process needs to be linear, starting with the draft. We could certainly find a young starter in FA, then draft to fill another position, or vice versa. I think it can work both ways.
The key is to not pay big dollars for older FA's. Pierre Garcon is an example of a good FA signing. The Skins signed him while he was still on the way up and they should get the full benefit of his contract.
