Would make a pretty killer DL addition.

Thoughts?
 
Good player
What would be the trade compensation
 
Have no picks to spare for a defensive tackle. He would cost a high one.
 
He would be better than anyone we could draft.
He's certainly a solid top caliber player. It's just that he's a lot closer to 30 than I'd like. He'll be 28 in July (about the same age Judon was when we got him). So, that's not too bad if he gives us 2 to 4 years of solid production. But, if he can help the D get better until they can draft his replacement over the next 2 years (or at least before his contract expires, etc.), then I'm not opposed to it.

28 keeps him in his prime for Maye's rookie contract. That is the window after all. 28 for a D-tackle isn't old in the slightest.
 
I love the idea. But as long as Barmore is coming back, we have bigger investments to make elsewhere.

I like the rotation of backups we have in that group already, and we seem like we can’t quit Godchaux either. I don’t think much movement happens with this position.
