I don't think they'll land any of these guys to be honest with you. All of today's cuts on defense mean they have the following approach beginning next week and then in April.

1. Free Agency dedicated towards overhauling the defense to fit Hewitt's scheme. 
2. Draft dedicated towards addressing the offense early. 

There's no in between with this front office. They only know one way and that way is incompetency.

If we can land a better center and allow the new DC to build his squad, good things will happen. Give it time to develop.

This is what "draft and develop" looks like, the young and cheap guys push out the old and expensive ones. We just haven't seen it here before so it's a new concept. That's why people are calling a 3 position need in one offseason a "rebuild", lol.

They'll sign one of many FA centers and then a player at a more premium position (tackle, WR, CB, Dline) at 17.

I dunno, the might have a chance to take a free agent and JPJ while dealing Fortner for a 3rd day pick. He's still got 2 very cheap years left on his rookie deal and someone will think they can fix him. I just hope Baalke backs up his "bigger, stronger" talk.
