As much as I hate it when this team goes berserk in the offseason with free agent signings, I don't know how else they can do it.

Agreed that they are in a fix draft-wise because of the reckless manner they've dealt picks in recent years (this may end up being re-examined more closely if Gibbs II ultimately fails). However, there are capable players available at relatively reasonable prices every year. I'm not saying don't sign any free agents, I'm saying quit getting all starry eyed and throwing money at "name" players.
We also need to get away from the assumption that this problem can be fixed in one off season. That's how we approached the offensive issues last off season and (obviously) the "quick fix" route didn't work.
