Fans reviewed a top list of available players and suggested ideal fits based on cap space and current roster needs. They recommend Dante Fowler Jr. from the Cowboys for Edge Depth. Even with solid young rushers like Abdul Carter and Brian Burns, Fowler adds proven explosion off the line at a low cost. At defensive tackle, Christian Wilkins stands out as a motivated 30-year-old to pair with extra Lawrence, especially after his contract issues in. Las Vegas. Meanwhile, inside linebacker Nikobe Dean from the Eagles could replace the released Bobby

Ocariki. Dean brings smarts and tackling prowess from a breakout year. For cornerback, Rick Woolen of the Seahawks offers length and aggression to disrupt passes, complementing the Giants scheme. In the secondary, Ardarius Washington from the Ravens fits as a hard-hitting safety with special team's value. He's risen from back up to starter and knows aggressive defense as well.
