Well I guess this begs the question of what positions are the most critical? Also, along those same lines, what players in those positions are the most critical to overall team success?
New England for example has been very successful for a number of years. But they always appear to have a defensive back who becomes a high priced free agent every year. On the other hand, quarterback would seem to be the most critical and yet they had a very good year with an unknown backup.
I guess what I'm getting at here is that you can't pay every position the high salaries, so which ones do you target? And, which do you let walk even though the player is extremely popular with the fan base?
