I’m all for signfing a bunch of 2nd and 3rd tier players in FA to build up depth and have decent play out there. If we can sign one bigger name FA (Honey Badger) I’m all for it.
We got quality play out of Jordan Lucas, Derrick Nnandi, Charvarious Ward and (to a lesser extent) sometimes getting some decent play from Breeland Speaks, DOD and Watts.
This defense was good enough to go to the Super Bowl. The problem was 90% Bob Sutton.

I'm not gonna underrate Houston to justify moving on. He's still really ****ing good but sometimes you've gotta make tough decisions.
Speaks isn't close to Houston, but again in a capped league, sometimes you have to make due.
