Yes, but you just said since we have cap space that means we should go spend essentially. That is not the smart route to go at all. Yes, we have to go and sign a few guys, we have no interior OL, our pass rush is lacking, etc. That doesn't mean we should go into FA and offer up stupid contracts to everyone just because we can. That is not what good organizations do. Give me Zane Beadles, Red Bryant, maybe a Walter Thurmond and/or O'Brien Schofield, that's a solid free agency. Build through the draft. You shouldn't be building you're team through FA. You get guys on reasonable deals that can help you and hopefully be long term fits, as well as find guys that fit their scheme and can be very successful (ala Sen'Derick Marks). I would be very happy with Alex Mack, or Alterraun Verner, etc...but that is not the way any team should go unless you think he fits the scheme great and the money is worth it at the stage we are in.

 

All this "Oh Beadles is so average, typical Jaguars" is just laughable (not pointing this at you, more so TMD). The guy has been a solid NFL player, and fits the scheme. It's laughable that an average player pickup in FA is such a bad thing. You're not going to just have studs at every spot in the NFL.
