Dimitroff the GM of the Falcons said on PFT that he admired how the Rams were built. Thru a combination of Draft picks. Goff/Gurley/Donald/Havenstein/Saffold/Brockers etc... and
FA signings Whitworth/Suh/Woods/Sullivan/Barron etc... and
Trades- Peters/Talib/Fowler/Cooks etc...
The Eagles did basically the same thing last yr.
I just wanted to point out that this is the new NFL and you have to do more than just build thru the draft. Although the draft should still be the foundation of the team.
This is what I've been advocating for doing the last 5-7 yrs. Hopefully Cal has taken notice now that he's in charge and the DT trade in midseason is a sign of change within the Texans org and he gives Gaine free reign to bring a Lombardi to Kirby.
