Asante Samuel or Nate Clements???

The bidding war for these two guys is going to prevent us from getting them. If we want to be fiscaly responsible and address all of our other needs we probably need to look else where.

I agree. If signing one of these guys prevents us from getting an MLB or DE (and we need both) then we are just pissing in the wind.

I would rather go after Smoot who will be much cheaper.

When Springs gets hurt a combination of Smoot, Rogers and Wright would be good enough until SS came back (as long as they are getting a consistent pass rush). Essentially that would be 3 #2 corners.

That is not a bad idea, it solves two needs in a responsible way. Although Smoot would have to agree to a pay cut.
I do not think corner is our #1 need. It is third.
#1 in my estimation is SS (A.Archuleta failure) is very glaring need. LB & DE is second and CB & OG are tied for third.
Safety is a very important position. Even if we draft another FS and move Sean Taylor to SS, we would be set.
I know we will draft a defensive player, most likely a DE, Safety or Corner with our 1st round pick. We have to do a better job in the draft. I am tired of over paying FA's.
