Also Junior Galette is the next Junior Galette.

Doctson will be a tremendous receiver, tremendous. Ask anybody, they'll tell you. Believe me, nobody will be a better receiver than Doctson

Mad Dog Doctson.

Heard Pryor on NFL radio today, impressive guy. You can tell he's hungry to keep improving and be the best player he possibly can be. Definitely a guy that enjoys the grind.

More on what was said earlier about him hooking up with Kirk...

Terrelle Pryor, Kirk Cousins and teammates make plans to begin training together

Sounds like Cravens is giving up the number 36 to Swearinger

@Sua_Cravens: As our fallen solider once did, it's time for me to do the same. Time to make my own way! #36 is in good hands. #HTTR #30omMe #ripSeanT

Seems like remaining good DTs:
- Dontari Poe - 26yrs - "Market Value": $12million/yr -- probably too expensive?
- Johnathan Hankins - 24yrs - "Market Value": $8-9million/yr
- Roy Miller - 29yrs - ? value

Numbers above are complete guesses, and the longer they don't sign somewhere the more the market value numbers may go down.. Hoping we get one of these or another proven option before the draft..

I think your guesses are very high. Neither Poe or Hankins had great years.

FWIW Rich Tandler has Phillip Taylor listed as a starter in his current depth chart.

Man if Phil Taylor is healthy.....Id still take Hankins, Poe over Ricky jean, Ziggy Hood, etc.

Pryor could be the steal of free agency.

[Chico23231]

Im a little surprised we have heard little movement on the ILB possibilities. Zach Brown, Gerald Hodges, Kevin Minter, Hightower, Manti Teo, Brandon Spikes, etc...all these guys available I believe.

I look at Wil Compton and see a lot of disappointment from last season where he flat out cannot make plays.

I think that position in general is fairly overvalued, and the free agents you mention are probably having trouble coming to grips with the low offers they are getting from around the league.

Hightower deserves some coin, because he can be a 3 down guy and cover well. But if you need to come off the field often in passing situations, you just don't deserve a big payday.

That's not to say that the guys you list wouldn't help us - they would. But if they think they're getting a lot on the open market they will be disappointed. Not when teams can find athletic ILBs in the 3rd round.

It's just the nature of football now. The nickel corner is a much more valued position than ILB. Same with hybrid LB/S.

The initial rush of free agency is settling. Now is when guys have to face reality as the second phase begins, probably plenty more one year deals on the way.

I would like to see some competition at ILB, continue to build up the middle. Hopefully we can add a guy who does a little better a stopping the run.

Im good with Mason Foster...he is good in coverage and decent run stopper.

Re: Highlighted sentence above.

Answer: Sign Zach Brown. Would 143 tackles (94 solo) in 2016 be enough proof for you?

Let's wrap up this FA group by signing DT Johnathan Hankins and ILB Zach Brown. Then we can move on to the draft and go true BPA every round.

I think Reuben Foster will be our other starting ILB.
