Still a bit early.
I look at FA and the draft together. It's not about one or the other, it's about using both to address team needs.
Right now we need (in order of importance) two DT, two WR, a C, a CB, a LB. All in all, that's really not saying much. And we can make do at some of those positions (CB, LB and C all have guys who have or can play there, it's just a matter of improving it some or adding depth). We could start the season with who we have at those three and be set. So that leaves us with DT and WR the only big needs.
DT needs a starter. It's needed a starter for a few years now. We didn't address that in FA (re-signing guys who weren't very good isn't doing much). And we need a starter at WR, but it's not as big of a need and we may be moving forward with a free agent.
All in all, it's been about as good as expected, and will be better so if we sign LaFell. And if we have a good draft, this may be one of our best off seasons in a while.
