I agree that Sanders would be a nice signing. And Golden Tate isn't going to be as expensive as Decker or even Sanders.

No, it's not. It's not even the biggest need on offense in free agency. The single biggest need on the team is the secondary has zero quality starters, maybe Hall if he consistently played to 2013 levels but he hasn't and probably won't at this stage in his career. I hope have for Amerson though but he's alone in the 'starter upside' category for now. Have to wait and see on Thomas but I saw enough of Rambo to know he's a backup. The rest of our secondary players (exception for maybe Crawford) are trash.
On the OL we spent 4 picks (LeRib, Gettis, Compton, Hurt) over the past couple of years on those players. Develop from within. That's what Seattle did, draft and develop. The development is the key to building a better OL. Of the starters from last year Polumbus is the only one that 100% needs to be replaced. Chester & Montgomery maybe but let them compete with Gettis, LeRib and Lichtensteiger. Let LeRib come to camp in shape and fight for a starting job. Let Compton fight for a starting job at RT unless you solve it in free agency or with the 2nd round pick.
Our OL was still damn good running the ball but struggled in pass pro. Fix RT, let the battles commence in the middle and develop from within.
In case you're looking for wholesale changes, don't get too excited per John Keim:
