But let me be clear; if the starting D-line is Carriker, Colfield and Bowen, there is a limit on how good the defense is going to be. All three are best described as:

"adequate", "average" and/or "competent".

None of the three is best described as:

"great", "special" and/or "game-changing".

I agree completely. Maybe Jarvis Jenkins or free agency will change the equation. It would be great to have a Ngata- or Hampton-type up front eventually.

Free agency is for quick fixes or one position fixes not to build a team with and rely on. And besides there are no nosetackles or DE's that are worthy of us signing that are Great, elite, or game changers.

Yeah, you're right. Drew Brees as a free agent was just a quick fix for the Saints, not an essential long-term piece of their team.

Truth is, it all depends on the free agent. Some are quick fixes, some are team foundations.

Don't have to go past London Fletcher to see what Lotus says is true.
