Thoughts on this list? Prince Amukamara is intriguing. I defer to some of the more experienced talent evaluators

YES PLEASE!!Our first big FA splash needs to be signing Nick Fairley, then guard & CB. Hopefully we can afford both Zeitler and Trumaine Johnson.
Agree.
I think we'll go after a solid starting CB. Breaux, Williams, Swann, Moore, and even Webb and Crawley would all be in camp. We'd have our #1 and #2, the rest will compete for slot corner, depth, and special teams.
LB is a little tricky. Which LB do we need the most? MLB? That would be my thought. Ellerbe and Roberston at WLB and SLB... A solid starting NFL middle linebacker, like we were hoping we were getting when we signed JL.
DE.... draft draft draft.
OL - Would definitely make me feel better going into next season.
KR/PR... draft draft draft.
Getting a guy like Malcom Smith, Zach Brown, or Kevin minter could be huge for this defense! And none of those three should break the bank. Should being the operative word there.
Getting Zeitler or Warmack would help the o line tremendously, with Zeitler being the big name. Not sure he even hits the market though.
As for CBs, if the price isn't right then maybe just draft one in the 1st-3rd rounds, wherever BPA. Corners tend to command top dollar in free agency. If we find another Greer type deal, then great but we still can't overpay.
Agree with most that the top pass rushers won't even hit the market, which is fine. Taking the best DE available in either the 1st or 2nd round of this year's draft could be a real get. Very deep at DE.

I think Johnson and Bouye will command big money. I think Kilpatrick and Gilmore are more realistic targets at CB. Joe Haden would be great as well if he gets cut. Minter struggles in coverage but I would love M.Smith on this team. Also an underrated name is Timmons he is 30 so will not command big money but he is playing great football. Could be interesting since PIT has to pay Leveon Bell and they have Shazier at MLB as well. Short term 2 year deal could be beneficial for both sides. Agreed don't love the DE class outside of Melvin Ingram think we should look to the draft there
Agree with all this. I just don't want them to over spend on any one position because they need help in multiple spots. If a Haden-Gilmore-Kilpatrick type CB can come in somewhat cheap, then by all means.
I think I'd rather Smith as well, but if we landed Minter I still wouldn't be mad about it. Him, Robertson and a healthy Ellerbe would be dominant against the run, average against the pass. But that's where our three safeties come into play, as all of them seem to be good at covering.
