The rest are value guys and draft picks. I think we need to do what DJ is suggesting. Try to load up on cheap value players, obtain more draft picks so you have more chances to hit on players and move your defense to a wide range.
With how much injuries play a part, I’d try load up on decent young players. Pretty clear that that plan is better than banking on only a few highly paid players.

It works fine I think in the regular season. Depth is always tested. But in the playoffs, you need your horses to be there and make plays.
My thing now with defense is that teams are just so good at finding your weaknesses (getting a Rb on a LB etc) that you need those dudes that can be difference makers to actually make up for that and be difference makers.
Your Chris Jones and Frank Clarks can be disruptive and cover some of those holes.
The defense is never going to be complete. No team will be. That's why you need difference makers to help with, we just seem to always have those guys hurt or under perform.
