Unrestricted Free Agents Who Might Help

A great question, that I can't answer w/ any confidence. What's interesting to consider is how many FAs we'll need depending on our defensive scheme and draft decisions. Assuming we 1) draft two bookend tackles in the draft and 2) switch primarily to a 3-4 defense...then I count at least 4 quality FAs we'll need to sign in order to round things out.

Center
2 Defensive Linemen (combination of NT, End or two ends)
Free Safety

Historically speaking that would appear to be a very active and successful off-season in FA. Devil's advocate...if we stuck to a 4-3 defense I don't think the addition of 2 d-lineman is necessary. Two quality FA signings, Center and FS, is much more reasonable.
