Heres an interesting article on some of the other cornes available.

I think Hall is grossly underrated there. I'd give him something around 85; and he has the potential to go a little higher, but the rest of the guys are more or less comparable. McFadden, Foxworth, and Bodden could all likely be had for probably 80% (rough estimate) of what Hall will make elsewhere.
If we end up landing Haynesworth, we could just fine with one of them, assuming we also commit to extending Rogers long-term.
If we dont land haynesworth, id pay the premium to get Hall, sign a corner like Buchannon or Bly, and then trade Rogers for a high 2nd rounder.

I am all of the sudden feeling a lot of doubt that Hall is in our future. If the FO was set on him i think we'd have seen to things happen... 1) Springs cut 2) Hall signed before FA begins (cuz BHA is almost certainly right that his value will go way up after midnight tonight). I think this is a huge bummer man. Hall is a playmaker, much younger than Springs and a bit younger than Smoot and Los. Worst of all it looked like we could have got him for significantly less than what NE or some other franchise is going to pay him if the rumors a few weeks ago were true... we'll see.
