But the gaping hole at LB worries me, and I really don't see what was wrong with giving KPL 3.5M/yr.

Wrong way to think about it though. We know free agency isn't finished, not by a long shot. Dudes will keep signing for the next month. A week will go by and then we'll add somebody. Another week will go by and we'll add someone else.

So when you grade the moves so far, you have to do just that, grade the ones we've made so far. For the rest of the openings all you can do is give an incomplete - aka leave them out of your thinking.

When we get to June then you can grade it as a concluded thing, with omissions factored.

It's a definite A on the three guys they've added. Yeah we still need LBs but I assume that's coming in the next few weeks. Only if they fail to address it will I take umbrage.

It's a definite A on the guys we've added. There's no arguing that.
My B comes from letting KPL go, while we could've signed him on the cheap and been looking for one starting LB instead of 2.

I agree, but given moves so far, I have to think there's a plan in place. I'd be surprised if they don't sign an FA LB soon, but I suspect they will add 1 or 2 more via the draft anyway.
