If the front office can just use more common sense when picking up FA is a great way to make us better right away. Then keep our picks for depth and to aquire younger players that will become starters in a year or two.

I agree. If the front offense uses common sense this is the way to go. There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of both pools of talent, just do it responsibly.
