Stay away from "old" WR's on the decline. Very little bang for the buck! (ref: Ju Ju)
Agreed. We have a boat load of young talent; we need to develop that young talent. I also question the idea of having to have a legit #1 WR like Chase, Lamb, Hill, etc. Yeah very talented guys, very expensive guys, could a team have sustained success with a tier lower and solid run game? I often think about this.

Vrabel held his first Press Conference since becoming HC at the Combine today.

Quote........About free agency:

"Hopefully aggressive. We want to be aggressive." Vrabel told reporters. "We want to target players that we feel are gonna help us., that are gonna be outstanding players, that are gonna be outstanding additions to the locker room and the community. And if that all fits and the compensation fits, I'm confident that we'll be aggressive."

Vrabel also said that He, Eliot Wolf and Ryan Cowden have already begun to have talks with potential draft targets since arriving yesterday. He indicated that they have many more young players to interview and discuss positions with.

Mike Giardi was on Early Edition tonight.

"I spoke with no less than a dozen GMs and Personnel people over my last three days in Indy. Not a single person would give this years free agent class as much as a lukewarm status. I don't think anyone is trying to hide a secret. They all are intent on trying to keep the ir own free agents from going on the market."

Note........In 2001, Bill Belichick and Pioli signed 17 mid-level free agents, Mike Vrabel was one of them as was David Patten. We all know that they had probably the greatest steal of all time in the sixth round of that draft.

Maybe looking at the cream at the top isn't always the best flavor or richest talent.

This guy was the biggest draft steal of all time?
