QB's, DE's, CB's, and a LT all need to come from the draft if possible.
Those are the highest paid positions. It's nice to get a few cost controlled years there.
Overall, I'm not a fan of signing the big name, big dollar free agents; it seems to rarely work out.
Free agency is for plugging holes short term while you draft guys for the long term.
That's for THIS sort of team, with a perennial SB window wide open. Don't screw yourself with the cap, keep all of your options open, draft and develop.
To GET to a SB window, then rolling the dice on the big money FA's may be what you need to do, and in our case, it was.
But phase two is a more conservative, long term approach.
