Props have to go to Charley Casserly and Dom Capers for this. I'm sure part of the reason we played 85% of our draft picks was because the cupboard was so bare after the 2-14 season plus our defense was full of 3-4 players while we converted to the 4-3 under the new regime.
IOW, while Smith/Kubiak deserve props for getting players who fit their system, the reason we are #1 as opposed to, say, the Patriots or the Colts is because we had so many jobs available while other teams didn't.
