We have several holes but some solid fill
 
I was noticing that we have 3 FA DBs, 3 FA WRs, 3 missing LBs(ok,Bruschi makes it 2)but we seem to have only one possible one in either of our lines! That tells you how our team is built! If you look at the needs of every one of the teams drafting above us LINE is the major problem. In fact alot of the new management is getting smart and realize that you have to build from the lines out....and they arent as likely to take that shiny RB/WR high as usual.(go to the ATL,MIA,or Jets sites to check this out). The popularity of 3-4 systems is making players harder to come by too.
I like the idea of the Jets and Phins having to take years to clean out their old style players to make way for the new ones. All we have to do is remain on course because it is easier to stay on top now than it is to get there. We have to do this carefully so that we can continue to be the place veteran guys want to go at the end of their careers to win a title for the vet minimum. Keep trading picks for all stars no matter their age! We will fill in our holes with cap casualties from the lesser teams after they pay them the big $$. When a team has a good player then drafts a hi pick and cuts the player....pick him up cheap! They have to pay the $$ on the pick and the dead $$, and we end up with what may well be a better player! Thanks!
