Here's how I see it if I'm a GM in today's game. You do try to draft guys like Von Miller, Aldon Smith, Demarcus Ware, Revis, etc... You get thm on the team young and sign them for rookie contracts. You invest roughly 70% of your cap on offense. When guys like Smith, Miller, Revis, etc...are up for their big pay contracts..let them go. When guys like Kaepernick, Flacco, Crabtree, Gronk, Brady, D Thomas, Wilson, etc.. are up, pay them. RB's that really are game changes like Lynch or Rice, pay them too otherwise go young and cheap. Invest veteran contracts on guys who are proven to put points on the board and keep trying to draft young on defense and keep the money on the guys that put points on the board. You will not win with a top 10 D if it means your offense is deficient. This has been the case for a while, but is amplified even more today with the rules that now govern the game.
