"All in all, the team has drafted 24 players, signed 27, and acquired two via trade."

I am impressed at how few of our 53 man roster were traded for. Hopefully over the next few years we will see a shift from signed to drafted, but I think this is a good sign overall about the difference in the way this team has been built over the last few years. Say what you want about Allen and the front office, but there has seemed to be a philosophical shift that came before SM. Now, that doesn't mean they made the right picks and FA signings, but at least we don't have so much tied up in bad trade acquisitions and big name FA splashes. Of course the RG3 trade is proving to be a debacle, but this team has been in worse shape. Now SM has draft picks and cap room to work with. I think in a few years we will have a competitive team.
