I totally agree with you about the need at FS. I just didn't see a clear-cut answer in the draft the way you did.
My answer would have been to bring in Clemons - he's more of a pure, speedy FS than any of the guys that were available in the draft. So once again, I see free agency as the big failure here.

I think that's a failure of scheme, but a scheme that was dictated by talent.
Need to press the receivers against a Manning offense, but in a zone package.
The problem, however, is that Sean Smith sucks in zone, and Cooper has to learn, and there was no way to incorporate him in the defense and try to teach him both man and zone.
Playing man exclusively against that offense is a recipe for failure.
