I think people are generally correct about us being better than last year...and us needing to continue being more frugal with our offseason spending...much like last year...so we can get into a healthier cap situation...

However the biggest key...which i haven't seen mentioned yet...is the fact that we need to build through the draft. We will never be a dominant team until we start building our team through the draft..and then plugging whatever wholes we have through certain choice free agents.

But as long as we continue giving away picks like there nothing...ie...2nd for Cooley, 3rd for Mark Brunell, 2nd for Portis, 1st, 3rd and 4th for Campbell.

All under Gibbs may i add...We will never have a team that is deep enough to be a consistent winner. That is the next step i am looking for us to take. Maybe Gibbs in the beginning saw things he needed to correct immediately and didnt want to wait for picks to mature into good players. But now that we have a core team...i am looking for them Keeping the 2007 draft intact. So we can finally start behaving like the successful teams have done...ie the patriots, steelers, eagles, chargers, bengals, broncos, and the list goes on...which is invariably BUILD THROUGH THE DRAFT.!!!
