Manusky says he has 3 NGs now... Phillip Taylor, Joey Mbu Houston U, and Matt I. And says Lanier is now 290..... he must be sarcastic if he is counting on any of them

I won't say that Hankins can't get $10M because there has been some big money thrown around for average DL's in FA this year. I can say that I wouldn't pay him $10M. I'm struggling to understand the big DL FA contracts because the draft is absolutely loaded with DL talent this year.
Agree with you that a DL should have been picked early in last year's draft. Some of the early round DL's from last year's draft are developing nicely throughout the league.
Players develop over time, some slower than others, so i think Matt I. has a chance to contribute at DT this season. Im hoping that Jim Tomsula can get him ready.
I'm excited to hear that Lanier is now at 290 pounds. He is a talent at DE and I think he could provide us with effective pass-rushing from the DE position. Dare I say that he might become a star in a year or two?
