With all the cap space we have...we need to sign 2-3 impact free agents.
This whole 'Draft, draft, draft...then finish the team off with 1-2 free agents isn't realistic.' Look at teams like the 49ers, Packers, and Bills. The Bills added 22 free agents! 22!
The Bills were a playoff team two years ago with basically the same defense, they finished off the team adding some offensive weapons. The Packers just finished off draft,draft,draft with a couple FA's on defense. The 49'ers just spent a couple seasons drafting and building and finished off with a couple FA's.
The context of this whole thread is draft and then finish off with FA's. You are literally highlighting why that is the actual model to follow, you simply have to do it correctly. The Browns are showing what happens when you don't finish it off correctly with the right pieces instead you choose the flashy pieces.
