Should Wilkins be #1 FA target if not tagged?

If we pay $15-$20 mil for Wilkins (which I admit is unlikely), you still need someone to fill Reader's spot, & Hill isn't it. $10 mil for a reserve DT is an awful lot. 

I mean, we rotate DT's, but man. I think it is like cutting Mixon if we land Henry. It is an unlikely scenario to begin with, but cap-wise it is almost mandatory. 

The only way I could see it not happening (in a Wilkingls scenario) is if we get some serious cap savings from restructures AND/OR Tee/Reader walk.

Christian Wilkins plays alot of shade NT with Zach Seiler as the 3t. The Dolphins 4 man front is Melvin Ingram, Zach Seiler, Christian Wilkins, and Emmanuel Ogbah. I know Raekwon Davis is listed as the "Nose Tackle" but he only plays 45% of the snaps he's like Josh Tupou for the Bengals. Wilkins is also one of the best run defending Defensive Tackles in the NFL.
