Houston, the media said would only be able to fix the defensive issues if they grabbed Nnamdi in FA. They didnt. And they had their best season and best defense in Franchise history.

I'll start the laundry list:
Albert Haynesworth
Jevon Kearse
The Texans added four defensive starters last offseason, two via free agency (CB Jonathan Joseph and FS Daniel Manning) and two via the draft (DE JJ Watt and OLB Brooks Reed). This is a perfect example of a team building through the draft and free agency. The result, as you said, was the the best defense in franchise history.

This game is going to be fun.
what are the parameters?Why don't we keep it recent? If we include all free agents EVER, this will go on forever.
what are the parameters?
Did you bother to fully read my post? When Pickett signed with the Packers the defense for the Packers ranked 23rd in the league the previous year and when Woodson signed the following year it ranked 19th and had allowed 21.5 points per game. If you go back and check what was being said at the time it was that the Packer defense needed to be upgraded similar to now. I don't know what you consider gaping holes but that 2005 defense wasn't very good.Yes, but the Packers didn't get them because they needed to fill a gaping hole. They got them because, like good organizations do, they had scouted them out and liked the upside they had for the value. It wasn't a "we need secondary player and a dlineman so lets see who is out there in free agency".
Why not last 3 years?
I mean, if we dont', I can use Reggie White, Sean Jones, Santana Dotson, Don Beebe (basically a bunch of players from the 1996 Championship team). Are the free agent contracts of these plays relevant? Is this entire "laundry list" idea relevant?
Not trying to speak for anyone else but Walker was one of the worst Free Agent signings in history (Oakland)Javon Walker wasn't a free agent. Walker was traded by Green Bay to Denver. He got all messed up after his friend (Williams) got shot and died in his arms and was robbed and beaten at gun point a few months later.

Packers have too many of there own young players who will need to be resigned in the next 2 years. TT will not pursue any notable FA's this year. He needs to hit some home runs in the draft this year. The pass rush HAS to be improved.
