SI's 2018 F.A. positional rankings

LINK Actually a pretty good read. Here are some guys that caught my eye in regards to filling our needs...

-RB - Tons of cheap options to choose from. It would take up too much space to list them all.

-FB
Zach Line (27), Saints
Prototypical plug-in fullback.

-WR
Sammy Watkins (24), Rams
Certainly better than his 593 yards in 2017 suggest, but he’s not a true No. 1 receiver. If he avoids the franchise tag, his open market value will be fascinating to see.
John Brown (27), Cardinals
Speed and stop-start quickness can make him lethal … if he stays healthy enough to consistently display it.
Paul Richardson (25), Seahawks
An acrobatic vertical receiver who is tough to evaluate as an every-down weapon given that he comes from an unusual Russell Wilson-led Seahawks offense.

-TE - I'm assuming we don't sign a TE, but I'll list them anyway.
Jimmy Graham (31), Seahawks
If teams believe he can still win out wide and from the slot, a contender could pay big money in hopes of pushing their offense over the edge.
Tyler Eifert (27), Bengals
As athletic and versatile as almost any tight end, but 41 missed games in five seasons raise a big red flag.
Trey Burton (26), Eagles
He brings value to an offense that features multiple tight ends because he can operate from anywhere inside the painted field numbers.
Austin Seferian-Jenkins (25), Jets
Don’t fall for his flirtations.

-OT - There are actually quite a few decent options for backup RT if Strief isn't here in 2018.
Chris Hubbard (26), Steelers
The Steelers did not miss a beat when he filled in for injured/suspended right tackle Marcus Gilbert for 10 games last season.
Cameron Fleming (25), Patriots
He improved steadily as a backup the last few years in New England. Will someone take a flyer hoping he’s the next Marcus Cannon?
LaAdrian Waddle (26), Patriots
He’s too lumbering to ever be more than a plug-in right tackle, but to his immense credit, he was a very reliable plug-in right tackle for the Pats in 2017.
James Hurst (26), Ravens
He has the body of a tackle, but not the body control. Ideally, you’re signing him to be a utility backup.
Andre Smith (31), Bengals
You have to assume he’ll play no more than 10 games. But hey, at least he can play those games at any position (except center).

-OG - Hopefully the other 31 NFL teams underrate Kelemete this much. This site has him ranked as the #9 OG in free agency. He's actually ranked behind DJ Fluker.
Senio Kelemete (27), Saints
He held up admirably as a fill-in guy for many years in New Orleans.

-DE - The list is just 2 guys imo.
Ezekiel Ansah (28), Lions
Long and talented, but also injury-prone and enigmatic. In 2016 he was excellent but had only two sacks. In 2017, he was subpar (by star standards) but had 12 sacks. It will be fascinating to see what kind of offers he draws.
Alex Okafor (27), Saints
He was having a career year in New Orleans before tearing his Achilles last November.

-DT - Not sure how much we would want to invest in DT, since we already have 3 legit options. There are a bunch of decent options here though.

-LB - 4 guys stuck out to me. Whoever we sign better be legit in pass coverage.
Nigel Bradham (28), Eagles
He has developed into a quality three-down contributor with some playmaking prowess, both in run and pass D.
Avery Williamson (26), Titans
He rarely came off the field in Tennessee thanks to his gap-soundness in run D and serviceability against the pass.
Jon Bostic (26), Colts
He’s by no means dynamic, but has developed good awareness in zone coverage.
Christian Jones (27), Bears
Most of his snaps have come as a passing-down specialist. Given how much nickel teams play these days, could he garner low-end starter money?

-CB - We need someone that can play the slot. Malcolm Butler can play the slot, but we can find a cheaper price that produces.
Aaron Colvin (26), Jaguars
He’s overshadowed by the litany of stars on Jacksonville’s defense, but a closer look reveals him as one of the league’s best slot corners. That’s an important—and difficult—position to fill.
Patrick Robinson (30), Eagles
He was one of football’s best slot defenders. The Eagles have youth and depth at corner, but they may want to think long and hard before letting him go.
E.J. Gaines (26), Bills
He’s experienced in a wide range of schemes, both outside and in the slot.
Nickell Robey-Coleman (26), Rams
He’s at his best in attack-mode, including on slot blitzes. Considering this and his adequacy in man coverage, a pressure-based defense should want him.
Prince Amukamara (28), Bears
Ideally, he’s your No. 4 corner, giving you confidence that your defense could survive if a starting outside corner were out for a few weeks.
Nevin Lawson (26), Lions
Another nice plug-in guy who could add valuable depth, especially given that he has the body to play outside or in the slot.

-Safety - I didn't really see much after the top 4 guys.
Eric Reid (26), 49ers
Teams would be foolish to pass on him because of the anthem protests. He’s a playmaker and one of the better multi-tool defenders in football, with significant experience at both safety spots, in the slot and at linebacker.
Lamarcus Joyner (27), Rams
A rangy centerfielder who can cover certain slot receivers in base defense; he’s undersized, but he’s also one of football’s nastiest hitters.
Morgan Burnett (29), Packers
He started 102 games in Green Bay, so the perception is that he’s old. But 29 is middle-age for a smart safety. Adding to his value is that he’s proven to be every bit as versatile as Eric Reid.
Kenny Vaccaro (27), Saints
He never quite developed the cover skills to fulfill his first-round billing with the Saints, but teams that want to play with three safeties on first and second down will be very interested.
