this frees up the #15 pick even more and could change up their whole draft plans to this point . . . if they can't get cb/fs malcolm jenkins and they don't trade down, rb chris wells could very well be the pick . . . cb vontae davis is a possibility, but there's value in the 2nd and 3rd . . . i still like matthews for this team and these ARE just 1 yr deals, but the need has definitely weakened . . .

Cato June is a great signing. Honestly, I think you can get away with drafting a CB here now.

Even if they only hit on one of these guys, these are great, low-risk high-reward moves for a team that is really close to breaking into the AFC playoff picture. June still has some ability left in the tank and represents good leadership and experience for a unit of young defenders.
Indy's still Indy, but everyone there is getting older, Tennessee will not go 13-3 again, and J-Ville is in full rebuild mode. The window is finally opening for Houston if they have a solid draft.

The Texans are building a pretty decent D so far.

Precisely, The Texans have gone from a new team that needs to fill big holes in talent to a team that can look for little economical upgrades. It is good to see them reach this mode and be playing the Free Agent market wisely. Even if only one of these guys become a contributor it is money wisely spent.

I agree, this could very well give them some draft flexibility.
