I would like to see them target player on the under side of 30.

I wouldn't sign anyone over 27.

Up until a while ago I had the same mind set.
But since we need so many new starters and so many other things that are recently fuxxored about this team I'll take any solid player thats healthy and isn't a screw up. Maybe in two years we'll have the luxury of only signing younger guys.

I agree with this. I would not be so rigid in acquiring talent. If a player is over 27, can play at a high level and is willing to sign a reasonable contract, I am ok with it.
All of our Superbowl teams were built with a mix of veterans and youth. Each year there is always a player or two in FA or available by trade that is a huge bargain because a teams FO deems a player is too old, but yet he can still play at a high level. Two years ago 49ers got Anquan Boldin for a 6th round pick.

I'll adopt and amend this to I wouldn't sign anyone over 27 to more than a two year deal. There are some players that potentially will be out there (Shaun Phillips, Jason Hatcher to name a couple) that are over 27 but could come in and make an impact the next couple of years. Where we run into danger is giving older players 4, 5 or 6 year contracts.
