For example Eric Weddle signed a 5 year 40 million dollar contract, if you think Byrd isnt Worth that then I cant help you, but unless you are the OKC Thunder you aren't gonna build an entire team through the draft only. Gotta sprinkle some FA in there with some key players.

You can use free agency, in fact I think you have to.
You just don't have to break the bank.
Good teams get the bargains and deals, like the Seahawks with Avril or Michael Bennett. Hell I would rather the Skins go the extreme route and only build through the draft like the Packers or Steelers, than break the bank on a single player.
Garcon isn't a steal at 42 million. He is getting paid exactly the amount he should be, if not being overpaid just due to position. Receivers are constantly overpaid anyway. Just my personal opinion.
Byrd is going to get Polamalu money. He just got paid around 10 mil this past year I believe. That is how much Byrd's annual salary will be. He's a great player, but in my opinion, he isn't worth that much.
