yes.
he had three amazing drafts. all time great drafts. his drafts have nott been good the last two years and the lions are paying for it now.
you needed cheap help because those superstar drafts produced superstar players who need to get paid. they didnt get any.
two years ago was their year and injuries killed them. ragnow and decker retiring/getting cut has blown up their identity. they were never going to have the money to make a big splash because of money constraints, but this has been underwhelming.
with that said, its still early. there's time to sign someone.
brad has usually eschewed free agency. that's almost always good practice because teams dont let good players walk, they let old declining players walk. but when you have as many holes as this lions team, you need to make a fair amount of decent additions. they havent really done that yet this year.
still time.
