Poor drafts the last 4 years cause us to have to search and scour the wires for FAs that can fill needs. That being said, Boston is not as much a "risk" as you think. The cost is minimal. He basically only gets paid for what he plays. The Fins have been active with these type players, but have had some successes....Ogun and RW for a couple. There was a b/u RB we had a few years ago coming off a bad leg injury at the Pro Bowl too (I can't remember his name, but he didn't impact the team significantly but was quality b/u for L. Smith.) But this is the price we pay for not being prudent in our drafts. It's not a bad way to go under the circumstances. It will take a couple of drafts to get out of the circle of relying on FAs. Part of the issue with this is where the Fins draft on a yearly basis. We continually get the 20-30 picks where you will not get major impact players normally. NE is the best example, but they had to have 1-15 season and a couple of 6-10 seasons to get where they are now. I don't want to pay that price personally. As has been said before, lets take a step back, maybe watch the Marlins a little, and evaluate things better when we get to summer camp. By that time, the June 1 FAs will be on the roster too.
