LA Rams Strategy Begs Question: Are Draft Picks overvalued?

Someone made this point in a thread last night and I thought it made sense. 

 

The Rams strategy may be to win now so they can sell season tickets and fill the new stadium when it's open in a few years.

 

That, and win the battle for LA by taking attention away from the Chargers.

The Rams basically have given themselves a 1-2 year window to win a Super Bowl with the team they have built.  After that, the salary cap is going to force them to purge most of the players on the roster. 

 

The problem I foresee, is that football is very much a team sport.  It takes time for players to learn how to work together.  Sometimes guys fit and sometimes guys don't.  Veterans are often set in their ways more than rookies.  We've seen "Dream Teams" get built before, and it usually doesn't equal success.  History has proven that Free Agency/Trades works best when it's done to fill missing pieces.  Not when it's used to construct the foundation of a roster.
