i guess you could put me in the crowd that thinks that if the skins arent going to save some money and transition 11% of the cap into next year, 8 mil per should have been spent on a FS and RT instead of a WR2.

in terms of team needs, FS and RT were my top 2 priorities and they have not been addressed at all.

either way im happy though. d jax or saving cap space will both benefit the team, just in different ways.

At RT, I get it and to an extent agree. An upgrade is necessary there and regardless of what happens with D. Jax, I expect one of our first two picks to be a RT with the expectation they become a starter in 2014. There were a lot of questions about the FA tackles (Collins-limited starts, Schwartz-position fit, Penn-position fit/swapping sides) that the FO clearly didn't see any of them as a clear and long term upgrade over Polumbus who has started 31 games over the past 2 years.

As for safety, two were drafted last year (with poor results from Rambo and injury Q's on Thomas now) plus we signed two vets in free agency. We're always screaming 'draft and develop, draft and develop' but then are outraged when a position of need isn't solved by a high priced free agent. Can't really have it both ways. We drafted, now lets see if they develop. Also expect this to be a draft priority, Jackson or not.
