Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3668318, member: 652"] Draft picks are how you sustain excellence. You get 4 years of cheap service. Teams that rely on free agency eventually get into cap jail. The Texans have a QB and an aging defense. The salary cap can be manipulated short term but sending money down the line but it eventually catches up and a team will have a lot of dead money on its cap. Watson is a stud but he needs a complete team. Your team isn’t paying Allen yet and you guys will have cap space to pay him and not really kill your roster because you have guys nailed the draft. By nailing the draft you have cap space to keep the important core. The draft is very important with the salary cap. FAs want to get paid. It’s the vets chasing rings who will go to a winner. Not guys in FA for the first time. [/QUOTE]
