You do need pass rushers, but you shouldn't pay a one-dimensional pass rusher with durability concerns elite money. That's why it's so important to draft well. You don't have to draft a Justin Houston every other year, but if someone like K-Pass wasn't a bucket of pig shit then there's no need to pay Ford at all because you'd have his replacement for 10% of his cap hit. The Patriots are who they are in part because they never overpay for guys like Dee Ford. They wouldn't even pay Chandler Jones (which was, arguably, a mistake), who is much better than Dee Ford.
