Every GM has a way they like to do things. I for one believe it takes a mix of free agency and the draft. As much as I love the draft, you HAVE to tap into free agency to compete nowadays. What happens when that Jarrett Dillard doesn't pan out? You have to replace him somehow and the only thing you have on your roster is a bunch of other "projects" who definitely arent ready yet. Now I'm not talking about being the Bucs....wait they want Brees now? JK I'm talking about finding good value in free agency. Yeah, when superstars hit, they hit big and I wouldn't be surprised to see Vincent Jackson be awesome. I also wouldn't be surprised if he totally tanked either. More important than anything, in my very humble opinion,  it comes down to how the coach manages and molds that talent.
