If we cut Seth Roberts will that change anything?

Another 6th round pick most likely.

Rhule and Hurney want to win now.  Sorry if that doesn't fit what you want

So says the franchise that has never had back to back winning seasons.

I want to win also, in the playoffs, not 9-7 and miss the playoffs instead of 6-10.

People said the same thing last year about singing Paradis.  Why pay 5m for a player when you can wait a few months and get a player about as good, for a third of the price plus an extra pick.  Do that enough and you save enough money to actually go out and get a really good free agent, the type that helps you win Super Bowls, like a Moss or Revis.

Go look at the winning percentage of teams for the past 15 years, then look at a list of who has received the most comp picks over that time.  There is a pretty big correlation.

Its just not about the draft pick itself.  Like people are quick to say, most the vast majority of 6th round picks aren't gong to turn into good starters, but if you have enough of them sooner or later you get lucky.  Even if they don't turn into a starter, maybe the are a good backup like Mayo, those players are good for a roster.  Decent player who filled a roster spot for 4 years on a very cheap cost controlled contract.

Maybe you use those later picks to move up a few spots earlier in the draft, maybe you use one  of those picks to trade for a decent vet on an expiring contract.
