DT is where you get younger. 

Signing Fairley means we probably failed in signing Jones back and WR now becomes a top need. 
But you and I both know, you win through the trenches.

You get younger and better on the DL.
add a vet WR. 

This is not the draft class for some silly moral victory of them signing a "name" FA

Then why did we extend Peko?

I get what you're saying, but if you can improve a position at a reasonable price, why not?  It's not a moral victory in my book, it's trying to find a way to finally win one of those damn playoff games.  Our current method hasn't panned out....and I'm all for getting a vet WR.  We're discussing potential FAs, Fairley ain't terrible, and while getting younger is the idea, we can't wait on another "development", imo.

Speaking of names, the Rams just cut Lauraintitis (sp?)....was he playing anywhere near decent anymore?  Cut DE Long too.
