Always have a plan.

One of the cardinal sins committed by NFL front offices is being unprepared for the loss of a player, either via free agency or to injury. Scrapping together NFL-ready replacements on the fly always pales in comparison to having a next man up ready.

I think we get a solid A in FA. Made some solid moves regarding veteran players and once again Loomis worked his magic. I give our draft a C to C-. Like the Cooks pick but not crazy about anyone else.
