Right now I don't think there's any real urgency to sign him, but he's the only FA left that would make sense IMO.

I don't think there's been a lot of hyperbole about Hankins. It's just that filling a clear need with a good player gives the FO the flexibility to go with a player who plays another position in the draft. If Vita Vea and an equally rated player are both available where the Skins would like to draft them, and we have already signed Hankins, then perhaps we take the other player and get stronger as a team than we would have if we hadn't signed Hankins and felt the need to take Vea. That's how i look at it, anyway.

We share same perspective, I like the flexibility we would have if we sign Hankins. Although if we sign him to one year deal then we still would have the need to draft Dline player (Vea, Payne or whoever else).

That's exactly how I feel about it.

But if we don't sign Hankins I'd like us to trade down and hope to get Payne late in the first.
Per the draft trade value chart, which may not be 100% accurate but gives an idea, we could get reeaaal good value for our 1st!

Have no clue if they'll want to trade up, but if they do, how about NE's 23rd pick plus their late 2nd round (63rd) and late 3rd round (95th) ?
We could still get Payne at 23 couldn't we?

Anyway, per the chart, this is the kind of value we could get, and if a team wants a player available when we pick, we have the upper hand and can say "give us this or we'll happily use our 13th pick".

That would be an awesome trade. If Mayfield slides it might happen.

Then the Redskins could go;

#1 NE- Payne
#2 G
#2 NE- CB
#3 NE- RB

You may very well be right.
And this is another exemple of how signing Hankins would give us flexibility in the draft to fill other needs and/or go BPA and/or trade down without worrying about not filling a need, isn't it ?

Clearly signing Hankins is more about him choosing us then us upping the offer. He will eventually choose a team and i hope its us. If it isnt then c'est la vie.

True. Saving cap for next year wouldn't be a terrible thing either.

I was sort of "justifying" the interest in Hankins in this quiet time of the offseason.
