A big body for the 0t is easier to find than someone with Wilkins range and high level play. Reader shows range playing 0 to 4i which is what really makes him special (he plays 0t rarely that's more Tupous job).
I know what it is. I am not saying Wilkins is not a good player. He is. I woukd absolutely sign him if I could.
What I am saying is:
1) He cannot be your prinary run defender. We'd get pushed all over the field with him & Hill starting at DT. Especially in our division. Tupou gonna start? That is comical.
3) $30 mil is an AWFUL lot to spend on your top 2 DTs who cannot start together. And you still need 1 quality NT run stuffer, maybe 2.
Player: PFF, Solo, Assists, Sacks.
BJ Hill, 67.7, 33, 16, 5
Wilkins: 74.9, 39, 12, 10
It is an upgrade, but not a gigantic one. Now having those two play almost all the DT snaps and having Carter in Tufele's role? THAT is an upgrade.
But we still need out and out run stopper (or 2) AND have a lot of other holes to fill. Which leads me back to cutting Hill to save cap, and that then diminishes the level of the upgrade.
If I can do some creative contract restructures to open up a bit more space, then I am considerably less pearl-clutchy about it.
