so you dont need him. Im fine with that as long as he goes to a AFC team im happy. Hed fit percet in Denver to. Just dont want him in a NFC team. If Lloyd went to a NFC team, it wouldnt bother me.

Is there a list of free agents handy?

Here ya go buddy. It's a list that provides positional breakdowns for all of the NFL free agents, one by one. Not sure about 100% reliability, but it seems to be better than the one that KFFL puts out.

---Brian Hartline (MIA)
---Ted Ginn (SF)
---Brandon Gibson (STL)
---Steve Smith (CAR)
---Derek Hagan (OAK)
---Legadu Nannee (FA)

We can also assume that these following WR free agents will command too much money or are RFA's, so they would not fall into this category of middle/lower tiered:

---Greg Jennings
---Mike Wallace
---Dwayne Bowe
---Danny Amendola
---Victor Cruz (RFA)
---Emanuel Sanders (RFA)

Does anyone have any idea or opinons on any of these "lesser" free agent WRs who may be more realistic and cost effective? The WR corps is pretty much depleted, so we're somewhat likely to be signing someone off of this list at some point in time.

Highlighted would be my choices in each area.

Obviously all of this is stipulated on the $$ situation adding up

Re-sign Julian Edelman. He was explosive when healthy.

Sign Brian Hartline. He's younger than Welker, and a bigger target.

Sign Johnny Knox. He's an under the radar guy who won't cost much money. Could probably put up about 600-900 receiving yards with Brady. Not amazing, but a solid depth guy who can catch short passes and deep passes.

Draft a WR in Round 1 of the draft. There's a lot of depth in this years WR class. Go with the Best WR available.

I was this draft to go to D this year as well...where we need help the most

I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but I edited Knox off the list about 5 minutes into the original thread. He falls into a weird category like Myron Pryor where they both remained on PUP all year, so either one are free agents. I suppose the website hasn't made any changes yet, so you'll still see him on a lot of lists, but I caught that one myself.

It's a different S.Smith apparently. I guess there are two. This one is potentially my mistake since I didn't realize there were two. I think I must have seen S.Smith and I went ahead and incorrectly assumed it was CAR.

It turns out he signed a deal last spring, but there had been a lot of talk about him last year, so that's probably why I made the wrong assumption.

Apologies. The thread would not allow me to edit S.Smith due to it having been too long ago. The rest of the list is correct.
