1) Clements we probably just cannot get him because he will ask for too much money.
2) London Fletcher is 32! Not only is he 32, but in his NFL career, he has never missed a snap! Seriously, how much longer is this guy going to hold up?! I also have not lost faith in LeMar Marshall. The guy played well for us in 2005, and if comes in healthy and rehabs his shoulder in the offseason, and we add a solid defensive tackle from the draft, I believe he can have another good year, and would rather have him than spend money on Fletcher.
3) Donte Stallworth - Do we seriously need another fast big play guy?
4) Fred Smoot - This is the only guy I think we should acquire. I believe that our secondary will play better than last season even without Smoot, assuming that our front seven play better, but Smoot can step in and play if Carlos Rodgers really turns out to be a bumb, plus Springs is getting old.
5) A different offensive tackle - They better resign Dock, no matter what it takes, everyone knows that.
I think that we should use our draft pics to fill our needs because I do not want to pay for mediocre old players like Fletcher and guys who we already have similar talents to in Stallworth. These acquisitions just do not seem smart to me.

Don't mean to nitpick, but Dockery is a Guard, not a tackle.
I do want Smoot. And I want Dockery back. We def don't need a WR like Stallworth, and I don't think you need to worry about Nate Clements. He's gone to SF according to rumors, plus we can't afford him.
If Fletcher can QB our defense though, that's a decent addition IMO. We haven't had a decent signal caller since A Pierce left.
