I think we can make other moves that would help us financially. Murray, Ragland, X Williams, Sorenson. Those guys should all go IMO.
I do think some sort of receiver, be it TE or WR, will be one of our first 3 picks.

Here's the thing about Ragland - his replacement will probably cost about what he does, even if it's as a draft pick. He's cheap next year, man; just $1.25 million. Minimum cap hit's gonna be $500k and guys on draft pick deals even through the third round make more than that. You probably figure on a $700K cap hit at least if we invest as little as a 2nd day pick on an ILB.
Is there really any point there? I think I'd just as soon keep him around for the marginal cost savings we'd get after replacing him.
Williams is a good call, though. Williams, Murray and Sorensen yield about $7 million in freed cap. In a deep DL draft, he should be pretty easy to replace (and we may prefer a different kind of DT given Nnadi's emergence and the 4-3 switch). As much as I liked that signing, he just never seemed to do what we needed him to do. Justin Hamilton looked to make a bigger impact than Williams simply by doing his job.
