The Caps, as has been noted by many, are using a team-building strategy that emphasizes the draft. Think you can't build that way? Well, let's look at one example.

Although the Indianapolis Colts lost their divisional playoff game to San Diego this afternoon, they have won at least 12 games in five consecutive seasons, reaching two conference finals and winning a Super Bowl Championship over that period.

All 22 position starters on this year's Colts squad were either drafted or signed as undrafted free agents by the Colts.

Their starting lineup is entirely home-grown.
