That's how i look at it, anyway.

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!

https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp

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".

Hankins isn't this good to be waiting around like this lol Dude you ain't a top tier DL. I'm with Matty, f that and lets draft a DT in the early rounds.. This is a deep class of lineman

I think it's less about Hankins' ability than it is about his position, NT, having become devalued in the NFL. He's a two down player and teams aren't going to pay big money for that. Apparently, Hankins and his agent haven't accepted the reality that the big money just isn't going to be there for him.

Nevertheless, he is a very good run-stopper and I'd like to have him.

Screw'em - rather draft a guy anyway IMO

The thought of signing Dez cracks me up. 99% of me knows it's stupid. But the toughest 1% is piqued. The idea of Dez catching a TD in a game we win against Dallas sounds so amazballs.

It doesn’t make sense for us. I’ve heard Green Bay, Baltimore and Arizona...all these places make perfect sense imo. Of course, Green Bay he would probably excel the most.

Again, Hankins strength is a top 3 in the league interior run defender. Snacks Harrison, Suh, Short (carolina) are among his statical peers. Brandon Williams up in Baltimore is a guy with the same type game. Jag rushing the passer...elite stopping the run.

If Hankins comes down on price and would sign with us, which would allow the flexibility of moving back a couple spots to get RB Guice. Wow...kinda a dream scenario.

Linval Joseph is another good comp.

You can add Calais Campbell to the list of exceptional DT's. There aren't that many and they are a valuable commodity. Look at the improvement the Jags got last year with an improved great defense. We need that type of D lineman.
I wished we had signed him when he has been twice a FA in his career.
