UFA guys are at least 27, maybe not post apex, but likely not pre apex either. The best guys will be signed to crazy deals, and signing the lesser guys just takes away spots from guys who are developing, and who could potentially develop into more.

Exactly... pick-up some guys for cheap who you can then move later on. There's no need to spend big dollars on someone who's not going to be around when the team is ready to be competitive.
