It's not saying Spags will never value pass rushers. It's just that his first priority right now to fix the DBs is consistent with how he's always built his defense.
Spags is best with DBs and he knows how important they are to his scheme. It's not just talent. He asks a lot of them with timing, communication, etc.... So if anything, he's moving money away toward the position he cares the most about. From there, what's the alternative? Do we leave a big gaping hole at DE? Or maybe we say that Okafor's a pretty darn good stopgap until we find someone better.

The fact that’s he’s had a good group of pass rushers every time he’s had a successful defense and a weaker pass rushing core every time he hasn’t is not something to be ignored no matter what he’s drafting and going after in FA. Okafor, Chris Jones, Breeland Speaks is closer to what he had on the Saints than what he did on the Giants.
Justin Tuck, Osi, and Strahan were more of the reason that defense won the SB and held the best offense in history to 14 points in the SB moreso than Sam Madison, Gibril, and Aaron Ross. Do you disagree with that?
