I'm agreeing with this. I took over the Chiefs and went 13-3 in my first year. To do that, I picked up Haynesworth, a good RG, Chris Long, Jeff Otah, a WR with 88 potential in the second, a CB with 87 potential in the second, and I got lucky with a WR with 90 potential in the third. WIth my second third I got a MLB with 88 potential who started at 79 overall. In addition, I got a UDFA LE with 85 potential to rotate with Tambi Hali, and a UDFA LT with 88 potential to develope behind my current LT, and an UDFA RB with 89 potential to back up Larry Johnson. I traded for Chris Gamble as well and got Trent Green in FA as my starter.
All this together propelled me to a 13-3 season. Then, I got the famous 83 draft class of Qbs. I didn't even trade up, figuring either Dane Morrow (Marino) or Kelly James (Jim Kelly) would fall to me. I took Morrow with the 28th pick, and Kelly was chosen with the 29th pick. Also, Leron James fell to me in the 4th. I then got an UDFA ROLB who is 80 overall and 88 potential, as well as another UDFA LT, who actually finished camp at 86 with 89 potential and supplanted my starter.
So in two drafts, I got my beastly RT, a beastly RE, a good rotation LE, two starting caliber WRs to go with Dwayne Bowe, a starting CB, a starting MLB, a back up MLB, a backup LT with great potential, s starting LT, my franchise QB, a future Franchise RB, a starting ROLB, and a few good backups at CB, S, C, and RT.
I mean, I've been getting lucky with the UDFAs so far, as well as not busting with any of my draft picks. But I also managed to get Haynesworth and my starting RG in FA. All of this and I'm 8 mil under the cap (though things got a little spotty my first year). And I have a projected 30 mil in cap space next year.

Titan, I would love to see how things go for you down the road. it sounds like you made a TON of moves. My guess would be that as those guys hit their potential, they will either get frustrated with their pay, or once they reach free agency they are gonna want you to show them the money.
