The guys that I have in that situation are:
ER Al-Quadin Muhammad (IND)
ER Kemoko Turay (IND)
ER Charles Harris (DET)
ER Dorance Armstrong Jr. (DAL)
ER Arden Key (SF)
So, I'd love to hear opinions on who and why.
Turay is most intriguing to me in terms of length and speed but he has been knicked up alot in his career to date.

I don't know anything really about those specific guys but I think you're on the right track.
I'd put it more into 3 categories though:
1)guys about to turn the corner
2) guys that are long in the tooth but may have something left
3)draftees
If it's up to me, I'm letting Clark walk. Outrageously expensive, mediocre production.
I'd re-sign Ingram in a heartbeat. He's a category 2 guy, but clearly has some juice left.
You still need two guys to go with Danna, who's a rotational guy, and Kaindoh, who's an unknown but was always a project. Oh, and don't forget the kid from Georgia who was basically an injury red-shirt...I forget his name right now. But still, that's just a project too.
I'd love to have Ogbah back.
I think you probably need to go DE in round one, and there should be some real talent there where we pick.
And I'd personally look for another "long in the tooth" category 2 guy that's a high effort guy like Ingram to show the pups how it's done.
I don't think Nnadi is getting a big money deal; he's kind of just a rotational guy but at any rate, it seems that he and Saunders are interchangeable.
This is where having some extra 3rds should EB and Poles get jobs elsewhere, because an injection of some athleticism would go a long way inside.
Other than that, it's probably category #2 guys because you also desperately need upgrades to Sorensen/Niemann.
And if you let Mathieu go, that's 2/3 of your safety room.
