Want the best one in the NFL? Jarius Byrd signed for 9/yr
Want a second tier beast? TJ Ward signed for under 6/yr
Want a fantastic value? How about Clemons for dirt cheap...
When we are wishing we had more playmakers on offense, just remember how we didn't close the deal with Sanders and Desean Jackson signed for only 8/yr
When Jeff Allen still sucks, just remember we could have signed Evan Dietrich Smith for dirt cheap and moved Hudson to left guard.

I can agree with the Sanders failure. The other points you are making, are your perspective. Just saying, Dorsey, and Reid I'm guessing agrees, believes the solutions to some of the failings of the team can be found in house. You can, and must disagree with this strategy. They clearly want some backups and rookies from last year to step up to become key players for them moving forward.
Not saying it will work, but it has for other teams before. Teams like the Steelers and Packers rarely look outside the team for replacing their losses, and have the next man up approach. And I know, Alex Smith doesn't jive with that. Reid wanted him, and there you go, so far, he was right.
