I highly doubt anyone at Kirby is operating with this philosophy. At least I hope not. I sure hope they're trying to upgrade at every conceivable spot they can, when they can, without killing the cap/future - regardless if they're doing it via the draft or FA. How do you find out if Mallett can play or be successful if you don't improve the talent around him (soon)? The Texans were already looking at Hartline. I'd rather take a flyer on Shorts over Hartline if the price is the same and he's affordable and without doing a stupid contract. I'd rather have Shorts in the slot over Martin or Johnson. Shoot, I'd almost take anyone in the slot over those two guys.
