Are teams like the Browns, Cardinals, Texans, and Lions built mainly through free agency or the draft?
He's right about the teams that he sited: they are consistantly good and they do consistantly build their teams through the draft rather than free agency; but couldn't this be because they have a good front office and coaches? There are plenty of teams out there that try to build themselves up the "right way" that still blow year in and year out.
ding ding ding... I think a point that a ton of us have said time and time again. FRONT OFFICE!! we have none, or one with any football knowledge in terms of building from the ground up or building for a future.

How about showing restraint and patience? We are not going to magically become a Super Bowl team in one offseason, they need to stop trying to fix it all at once.
They could reside themselves to taking a few years and build off the draft. Sign a few cheaper FA and avoid the big name/big dollar FA signing.
I agree with you. However, I don't think Gibbs wants to "rebuild". Unfortunately, that probably hurts us in the long run. :(

I'll answer my own question. And tell me honestly if you're not astounded by this...
The last time the Redskins drafted a defensive lineman that turned out to be a starter was Rich Owens in the 5th round of 1995.
Not in 11 years until Golston and Montegomery did we draft another D-lineman that played with any consistency.
Am I missing something here? Is anyone here not stunned by this fact?
What about Kenard Lang?

The way I see it people just don't like Snyder because of his money and his preceived arrogence. If the Skins method of building a team worked people like Cowherd would probably just say that he's trying to buy a good team instead of building one.
