We upgraded from Kendrick Lewis to Parker and saved a bunch of money while putting a guy back thare that teams don't want to test on deep routes.
Akeem Jordan to Mauga and JMJ...no question those are upgrades.
Eric Fisher is coming along nicely and is starting to show flashes of why he was so sought after...I still wish we could have kept Albert, but I understand that in a salary capped league, you can't keep everyone.
Abdullah was the best value free agent in the nfl.
Gaines didn't allow a pass to be completed to his man and prevented 2 scores.
I wish we could have kept Asamoah because he could have helped at RG, but again...it's a salary capped league. Paying guys like Asamoah 4/yr would have kept us from being able to keep someone like Houston long term.
I think saying he say on his hands and wasted this offseason is silly.

Even counting the net addition of Alex Smith's contract, we essentially saved $20M, will probably get 4 comp picks, and got not just a little better but a lot better.
And that's not even factoring in that we have defensive 2 pro bowlers sitting on the injury list right now.
