First I want to thank MattRichWarren for getting me to think of this idea. I am really curious into how everyone else would build a team.  It's not like a fantasy draft type of idea where you know your getting a sure thing. It's a "how would you build through free agency and the draft".  I don't want it to get into an argument over which is better; free agency or the draft either. I don't really think we need to discuss specific names just the position and why you put them there(even though I throw a few names out).

I am going to do a ranking by position groups in the order that I feel they are important. I am not saying any one position is irrelevant but I feel certain positions should be more of a priority to a GM.I understand that it takes all 53 men to win a game, blah blah blah. With each position I am going to try to give my reason for where I rank them. Feel free to disagree and give your rankings. That is the whole reason I am putting this out here. I like hearing other opinions and I don't feel that there is a specific blueprint for building a team.  There are many ways to do it and succeed. This is just how I would go about it. I think you'll probably assume I am a Bill Parcell's type of guy. ; )

This is strictly dealing with player personnel. I understand the importance of coaches but we've discussed that to an extreme(as probably necessary).
