Like the thought, but could we afford him? He's likely to be looking for a starting gig and the Raiders, Jets, and Colts have cap space and starting positions to fill...

Would love to have a pass rusher like that, but with needs at DT3, NT and currently on about $12mil in cap space, we bring back Okafor if he doesn't like his market...

Get the feeling Free Agency will be a RB (likely Ingram extension), NT (likely Davison extension), DT3 (anybody's guess), OL sixth man (plus trade(s) of current OLmen), and maybe a safety...

Assuming Okafor walks (I hope he doesn't), who would you target as an "edge" rusher? Shane Ray? Clay Matthews?

Speaking of the Oakland Raiders, I do like Jonathan Hankins at DT. Good player on a terrible team. Darius Philon is another guy who is emerging & is only 25.

We have Anzelone. I think he’s every bit as good as Clay (although used differently). Shane Ray is over his head. NFL physicality seems too much for him.

Who is your guy @ safety? Eric Weddle? Tyrann M? Collins? Clinton-Dix?

Of that group, I like Mathieu - but that'll limit finding a DT3 and OL depth to the draft with few draft picks...
