So what would your big grand plan be? Crosby and Garrett were never available. There isn't a single edge rusher difference maker available in FA. Can MAYBE give up a 2nd plus something just for the right to pay Hendrickson $30m/year as he turns 31 mid-season next year. Not even saying that's a bad idea but it's not great. CB market is fairly weak with maybe 3 or 4 that would represent a one year upgrade over Douglas for next year. Safety is similar. Bishop was a 2nd round pick and started to get better as the season progressed as a rookie should. Rapp is just a lower level starter that could be upgraded by a few of the available free agents but then you have to pay them $15m a season which they aren't really worth AND still have Rapp's cap hit on the roster too.

This isn't Madden, we can't just have a weakness at Edge and Safety and go trade 2 1sts and a 2nd for guys that aren't available just because some dildo on X thinks it would be a great move.  So we do that then go give Hufanga $10+ mill because he was an All-Pro and an upgrade when healthy and has a big name but oh yeah, he only plays 50% of the games so lets hope that we get to pick those 50% and make them the important ones.

I'm certain that they are exploring every possibility to bring in a difference making pass rusher and are trying to figure out ways to improve the secondary. I'm pretty damn excited about having 3 picks in the 1st 2 rounds. Those guys should help build the depth we need and getting them in the pipeline is how good teams remain good. Making big splashes in FA is how bad teams remain bad.
