This is my concern as well. Once your free agency classes start getting up there in age or closer to contracts expiring you're now left with your draft classes.

Baalke or whomever ends up here in maybe an executive role, something they entertained earlier this year I think with Rick Spielman.

I agree, going to be hard to get over the hump. The 49ers are a prime example of this. So are the Eagles. Landing quality players in the draft enables you to do a lot more as a football team with little drop off or needs where you can make a trade or two for a missing piece.

I honestly think Buffalo and Kansas City have slowly started suffering from lack luster drafts.

Kc has drafted an incredible defense, so they'll continue to be good even if it's in a different way than they have been, but you're right about Buffalo.

Here in Jax we're going to have to either give a massive contact to Josh Allen or lose him with no one of his ability to replace him. Oluokon has a huge number for a linebacker next year. Agnew will be gone, and likely the same for Ridley and Scherf. Plus the Jaguars have huge cap outlays on guys like Kirk and Robinson that will probably need restructuring if we want to keep them around.

I'm not saying the Jaguars can't continue to succeed without some guys, but getting better doesn't look likely right now.
