If we could sign him and draft a BIG DT like Sweat, that would be ideal 

Rankins is a really good player, but we'd still need someone to play NT while Sweat was developing.

Actually, upon comparing Rankins to BJ Hill, Hill was way more productive. In total tackles 50 to 37, in QB hits 21 to 10, Rankins only had a slight edge in sacks with 6 to 4.5 they were even with a fumble recovery each and Hill had 2 INT and Rankins had 0. And I'm betting that Rankins would be asking for more than Hill is playing for this season.
