#8, Aubrayo Franklin makes more sense to me now & I still like #10, Julian Edelman.

Franklin would be well worth getting now.Sign a 1 year deal for under $1ml last season.Would at worth be good rotation allowing us to sort other areas for a year or two.

Get the feeling that someone other than Greg Williams wanted Abrayo Franklin when he was signed two years ago...

jeanpierre · 01-26-2013, 10:33 AM

Most chatter seems to be that Dolphins will not let Jake Long leave and that his recent injuries or just a blip...

Thought we could draft (steal) Fisher, but he's busting out in a big way this week, and so we may be stuck overpaying for Bushrod even with Graham's contract on the horizon...

Erik Walden and Connor Barwin both intrigue me, and should be cheap.

I like Barwin... but I don't see him leaving Houston unless we overpay.
