I was just thinking of the difference some recent "Hits" have made to the roster and how it makes a difference to the overall roster makeup. Not all are draft picks but when strung together the team depth is greatly improved.
Hits
Draft picks - Hightower, Collins, Jones, Stork
Free agency - LaFell, Browner, Revis
Midseason Pickups - Ayers, Branch, Siliga (from IR)
All of these players are contributors compared to previous years when 1/2 of the pickups never amounted to anything. It really is the difference between a good team with a chance to win against a Superbowl favorite.
Most of these players are at the top of the depth chart which immediately pushes other supporting players (Arrington, Ryan, Dennard, etc.) into depth roles.
Quite a turnaround, looking into 2015 Revis is huge and for the draft I would look at both lines. A stud at OG or DT (maybe Easley emerges) is where I would concentrate.
