2.) I don't want to give the impression that I don't like Wayne's or Bell but I just don't think there that much better than Kirkpatrick or Williams. Also while both are good in run Defense they struggle in pass coverage. Personally I would have rather have given Phillips the starting CB spot that Kirkpatrick had and drafted a safety like Chinn in the draft to replace Williams in the future. To me we overspent on two non essential items when we had capable players at that position.
3.) I like Reader I do but if we're saying don't overspend on LBers then why is it ok to overspend money on a Nose tackle.  

1 - I agree.
2 - I like Phillips for the future and think this was a plan to get him into a starting position slowly. Wayne's contract is front loaded
but it also has an out for us if he doesn't work out and Waynes is just simply young and a much better tackler than Dre. Shawn is 
on the last year of his contract and Vonn Bell is a stud blitzer and tackling beast. I like Shawn as I have said, he has a better nose 
for the ball than Vonn so far in his career but we needed insurance as well as someone to show Bates how to blitz and tackle better.

Bates in the meantime hopefully can teach Bell how to be better in pass coverage. Win win.

3 - Put your money in the trenches man and what better way than Reader? He will help out the LB's and the Draft is coming up to 
add to the position. Schobert was overpaid too and is not a great tackler and does not play in the trenches. We are moving to a 3-4
Hybrid, need to have the NT and Reader is perfect in front of Tupou. Couldn't think of a better fit in this move than Reader.
