The hypothetical rebuild question is a good one. It is early, but I would say try and do what we can with the mid-round draft picks and home-grown talent. Main reason being that I like our recent drafts, and I have a lot of faith in Weisbrod etc. When I look at our prospects, I see a lot of potential, and there's some high end potential in there too. What I like most is that this year, we went out and got a teams worth of projects and players who scouting believed had some untapped potential ( guys like Galiardi, Russell, Jones ) and held a really competitive training camp. Kind of like throwing #### at the wall to see what sticks. I like the honest approach, and the players I'm sure appreciate it as well, as they've shown with their work ethic the past 2 games. This is the merit system, but for it to work, you have to have guys waiting to replace those who under perform, and I think we have a few players in each position ready to step in, that are hungry and pushing guys ahead of them. I take a lot more pride in cheering for a team like this, then that embarrassment of a team up north. I hope they can keep this up, but in the end, I'm most pleased with the work ethic and pack mentality seen so far.
