Let's set the budget and make Brad use our farm system and drafting past the 1st round to fill out the roster (our best players have come from developing assets this way).

All of these things happen already - with every team. Even spending to the cap, you still have to find cheap talent everywhere you can, in order to compete.
Name a team that has been able to be consistently competitive while being a budget team.
