Anybody else feel weird that we're not looking for a new QB?

I agree, GameBreaker, but if there is a "fit" in FA at one of our other need positions in the offseason, besides MLB or corner, I'd like to see them make that move, as well...

With this organization's track record in the draft thus far, it's obviously the way to build for the long term... But you can't knock what they did in the FA market either.

I think we have to get used to the fact that we have a staff now that can evaluate and spot talent wherevever they are: draft or FA.

I think the "fit" is going to be Nate Clements. He's a physical corner, good in run support, thrives on playing close to the WR. He fits in perfectly with Gibbs Cover-1 schemes and makes a good pair with McKenzie.

But he is the only player i'd "splurge" on. Beyond that, veteran depth is all I would go for in FA.

The problem with acquiring players in FA is you have to overpay to do so. If you have a critical need or it's a difficult to fill a spot (CB and QB go in the latter catagory) then you do what you need to do. But if possible it's always better to build by drafting, because rookies (other then top 10 picks) are invariably cheaper and you can get a discount on resigning the in the future.
