I do agree with the biggest bucks should go to the QB position, but that seems to be out of the question in the next couple of weeks.
If we look at our defensive line, we have a couple of fairly large contracts given to Dorsey and Jackson... regardless of what everyone thinks of them... and adding a high priced 2nd tier NT to the group kind of overspends at that position, and maybe or maybe not is an upgrade to that position.
Adding NA to the secondary upgrades our whole defense, and that is not a knock on either Carr or Flowers. Nickel defenses are on the field a whole bunch.
NA, Flowers, and Carr matched up againse some of the talent on the teams we must face each year does a lot more for me than Flowers, Carr, and Arenas.
Do I expect us to make a pitch to NA? Probably not. But I would give him a phone call none the less to guage if there is any interest on NA's part in comming to KC.

I believe the best way to build a defense is from the inside out/front to back.
If I have money to spend, I'm spending on the front 7, especially if I already have a group of defenders in teh secondary as good as the players that are there.
I also believe it's highly probable that Asomugha is going to command nearly as much by himself as Dorsey and Jackson combined, as well as Carr and Flowers combined.
I am simply never a proponent of sinking that kind of money into one player in the secondary.
