Last yr they went after melton and allen, they arent Jag's. They had to settle for Mincey because of money restrictions. I dont expect them to go after Jerry Hughes or Devin McCourty or Suh or Fairley. But going after Sheard or Graham would be more value then splash. Solid vets with a medium price tag. At a spot they need and wouldnt have to rely on the draft to fill it.

So, you say that Melton didn't pass by his prime and was top notched. And Allen, he was All Pro...right?

I wasn't paying mention about a JAG...I guess that was on your mind or something.

Journeymen, are usually associated with a few years in the NFL...but does not mean without value. I guess that you were agreeing with my statement after all.

I wish that article about Peterson calling Jerry on the phone never came out.

Cowboyvic, I said that those guys would NOT be the starters. I said if that group is your PRIMARY BACKUPS/2ND STRINGERS, that would mean our STARTERS on the DL have improved a lot.

Let's see what guys like Okoye, Whaley and Gardner can do before we get too crazy

Melton is past his prime at 26? I think he just wasnt healthy.

Physical recovery...then what is the determining factor as to recovery? Age? Or arriving back at the comparable level of play?

28 is the line that teams such as Philadelphia uses to measure future value...not past production levels.

My bad. as back-ups, those guys would be fine with me.. but we have got to get a big time pass rusher in here. we had no pass rush last year. that has to change.
