  • Dalvin Tomlinson 6'3" and 317 lbs
  • Shelby Harris 6'3" and 300 lbs
  • Johnathan Hankins 6'2" and 325 lbs
  • DaQuan Jones 6'4" and 322 lbs
  • Poona Ford 5'11 and 311 lbs (my least favourite of the ones listed)
  • Bonus - Hassan Ridgeway 6'3" and 305 lbs
What do you all think of these options? I'd personally love to get Tomlinson in FA and Tufele and/or Tederrell Slaton (Floridda) in the draft at DT.

I'd rather draft some quality so we have it for a few years.

Hill and Gallimore are here. Woods is potentially the bubble if we bring in lots of guys. McCoy seems lined up to be a cheapo vet option.

I'd rather draft a DT or two high and play them, instead of playing a short timer vet who will keep us from drafting more DTs and putting the young ones we have on the field.

Lots of NTs/1Ts starting around round 3 too.

Tufele and Slaton are the 2 DTs that I'd draft. Tufele in round 2 and Slaton in round 4.

Agree 100%.

Hankins and Jones could be good value. Neither as splashy guys right now, but both have been 3 down 1T's their whole career. Id like either Tomlinson or Harris, but both are going to be very expensive.

Though with Hankins, Im always weary of players over 330

I can put up with mistakes and attitude if they are effective. A young Suh.

Give me Dalvin Tomlinson...24 years old. 2nd rounder out of Alabama. Plays for a division rival. Can flat out play. Improves this run defense instantly and weakens the Giants defense by leaving.

After Poe, I get that. With that said, I think a big 1T can be very helpful. That's sort of where Slaton comes in IMO. I'd use Hankins as a bridge player while letting Slaton develop.

Not wrong, he can absolutely ball! I like Hankins, but I'd absolutely take Tomlinson if given the opportunity. If we could only sign one player in FA, Tomlinson would be one that I'd sign.

I wouldn't take Slaton or Shelvin anytime before the 4th. Those guys are never gonna play more than 400 or so snaps

Bears are most likely going to release Akiem Hicks salary cap casualty and the Saints Malcolm Brown same offer a 5th! Where they fit in?

Kind of surprised Dontari Poe isn’t on this list. Veteran leadership with some gas left and won’t break the bank.
