Quote:I agree we should not trade for Sherman.

 

But adding a player at a position of strength isn't necessarily a bad strategy.

 

GBN report has a good article on the various approaches to building a team and the last entry details drafting to strength.

In relevant part...

 

There are a few examples that readily leap to mind for me:

 

1.  The Early 1980s Giants drafting OLB Carl Banks to a LB corps that already featured Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Gary Reasons and Byron Hunt.

 

2.  The 1985 49er adding Jerry Rice to a receiving corps that featured Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon, who just won the Super Bowl the year before.

 

3.  The 1994 Cowboys adding Larry Allen to an OL that already won back to back Super Bowls and powered that Dallas running game.

 

4.  The 1998 Vikings adding WR Randy Moss to a WR corps that featured Cris Carter and Jake Reed.
