The back end of our defense needs a veteran leader. I would make it my top priority to sign a top FS for our defense. My first choice would be Jairus Byrd and my second choice would be Chris Clemons.

Secondly, our defense would gain a significant advantage by having a shutdown corner. My FA targets, in order, would be Aquib Talib and Sam Shields (assuming he's healthy).

That's where we need proven vets the most, IMO.
I agree that there is significant area of needed improvement on the back end, but I would suggest that the best pass coverage is a good pass rush. I would upgrade the D-line and OLB, in order to help the dbs. I wouldn't re-sign Orakpo I would use the cheaper solution of Jackson/Jenkins and have money to upgrade NT and DE.
