The NFL has made it easier on NFL teams to build their rosters. Free agency starts after college bowl games, the Senior Bowl and it’s progeny, and the NFL combine. Teams have seen what the draft has to offer. A good GM who knows the strengths and weaknesses of his team as free agency begins, knows how to focus his cap-limited resources. His draft strategy must fill the holes that free agency and his existing lineup cannot. The option of drafting for the future success of the franchise over immediate improvement has already been attempted by Brian Gutekunst before at the expense of a first round and fourth round pick in 2020.
