They need major help on defense. DT or two? DE, couple DB's, maybe another LBer? Add in Oline and WR2, perhaps even TE #1? Depth basically everywhere. Who's gonna be RB #2?

I just don't think they can pay two WR's mega bucks and not hurt the team BAD in all the other needs we have.

I counted 9 holes that you listed, you can count on the draft to fill what, maybe 2 of them (if they make smart picks)? For sake of easy discussion we'll even give them a 3rd rotational player that won't need to be attained in fee agency, leaving 6 holes to fill from outside. 

Ok, so we'll go on a mini spending spree, YAY!! Um, not so fast my friend. Have any of you that are claiming that "we'll just fill those holes in FA" actually taken a look at the current contract values of anyone worth a damn at any of those position? When you do, don't forget to add at least 10% to their current value to compensate for yearly market inflation.
