If we can resign KK, Addison, get JPP, and draft Jamal Adams.. I think our D will be pretty damn good. Need to look for a nickel too

I tried to keep it as realistic as possible. Of course I'd like to sign Whitworth but I think he retires or goes back to Cincy. Signing a RT like Ricky Wagner would be nice but if we're signing JPP/KK/Pep/Boldin it's probably not in the cards money wise. 

I want Fournette but don't think he's there at 8.If he was I'd take Fournette and sign Cyrprien instead of the Gallman/Adams combo.

You had 23 people listed because of the Nickle, so I went ahead and filled out the whole depth chart. There's the 53 I would be happy enough with.

I'd like to snag another WR in the draft to throw into the mix, and there should be some good competition at DB spots and backup LB spots in camp.

OL will all have to prove themselves.

Johnson could take Tolbert's spot but to play it safe I went with Tolbert.

[Bronn]

Also of note, only 4 rookies (A DE, OLB/S Hybrid, a RB, and a TE) making the final roster... I expect we'll PS a few guys again this year.

This would make my draft prediction read:

1st Rd: RB

2nd Rd: DE

3rd Rd: TE

Somewhere else: Donald Payne

Only thing about this that hurts me is Coleman at FS, but I don't think it was the position that caused Coleman to have such an awful '16 season.  I think it was due to the immaturity and growing of 3 young corners and a horrible partner in Tre Boston.  Bringing in Cyprien to solidify the SAF spot and a year under the belts of Bradberry, Worley and Johnson will allow Coleman to not be depended on so much on the back end. 

I was torn between DJax and one of the next tier of WR (Stills, Patterson, Wright, etc.) to replace Ginn.  I think Gettleman has made zero huge splashes in FA, but this one makes a lot of sense. Cam and DJax are good friends off the field and would give Cam a WR threat like Smitty was when Cam entered the league.  Jackson would be Ted Ginn with crisper route running and sure hands.  If they can re-sign CJ on the cheap, Addison and Cyprien to fair market deals and Develin as a "meh" FB signing, I think there's money for DJax and KK's franchise tag. This team has a window with Cam/Olsen/TD/Luke/Coleman/Kalil where a player like Jackson (though 30 years old) can be signed to a 3 yr deal and be justified for a 3 year SB window. By the end of the 2019 season, Cam will be 30, Olsen, Kalil & TD will probably retire, and Coleman will be too old to retain.  The time is now for DG and giving Shula and Cam a player like Jackson would be nasty.  

Same thought process for Joe Thomas. Window is now, so why not cough up a couple of 3rd rounders for an aging, but productive LT?  We need to improve our OL and free agency/draft is not going to permit that to happen. A top-5 interior of Norwell-Kalil-Turner would be nasty with Joe Thomas and the young improving Daryl Williams on the right side. The protection for Cam and the holes for Stewart and Foreman with Develin leading the block, would be amazeballs. 

For the draft, I think R1 comes down to 4 players possibly for us: Barnett, Hooker, Fournette and Ramczyk. I think Adams goes before us in the top-7, and with the talent sitting here, no need to move up for Adams or back in the draft for a lesser talent. Any of the above 4 would be welcomed, though I'm still warming up to Ramczyk.  I think we can find RB talent in this draft (Foreman, Dayes, Connor, Williams) in later rounds, and if we bring in Cyprien, it comes down to Barnett vs. Hooker vs. Fournette vs. Ramcyzk.  Give me the 20-year old that broke Reggie White's record in only 3 years vs. White's 4 at Tennessee. I don't care about his measurables and I think the combine will back up his value at 8. 

Foreman is a Carolina style bell-cow RB and Jordan Leggett could eventually take over for Olsen in a few years.  For now, he would replace Ed Dickson and learn a ton from our future HOF tight end.

He's on my post as well... He'll be raw as hell but could be Greg Hardy minus the head case... I think other teams will see it, though, so we might have to snag him in the 2nd.
