Oh, I agree completely that our best players need to come from the draft.  However, if we are expecting, or even worse, needing, our best players to be drafted rookies, then we still very much suck.

By my estimation, they'll need at least 2 rookies to come in and start well enough to hold up their end.
Maybe 3. 

Success may not necessarily "hinge" on their performance, but they'll need the kids to at least not suck. 
Which positions they address via draft and alternately by free agency will have an effect on how the rookies may or may not be integral to success. 

The rest of the holes to fill can conceivably come from free agency if they manage the cap situation well.
