Add 2 Qualifying UFAs to the Roster (Chart Updated 3/20)

**EDIT** Since Datone Jones has signed with the Vikings and Jared Cook has signed with the Raiders we can now sign 2 Qualifying UFAs and still receive the maximum of 4 Compensatory selections.

All of the Packers Qualifying UFAs have now signed, 1 of them re-signed with us (Nick Perry) and the other 7 Qualifying UFAs have signed with new teams. Thompson has signed 1 Qualifying UFA to the roster in Martellus Bennett so we are currently set to receive the maximum of 4 compensatory selections in the 2018 NFL Draft.

When Jared Cook signed with Oakland, Green Bay was set to receive another compensatory selection, but teams are allowed a maximum of 4 compensatory selections per NFL Draft. Below is an UPDATED snip of a compensatory pick cancellation chart, which can be found on OverTheCap.

I fully expect Thompson to take advantage of this situation and sign 1 or 2 Qualifying UFAs before the NFL Draft (even if it's a few low level signings that would only negate our lowest selections, which would be our 6th Rd Picks for Julius Peppers and Datone Jones). With our knowledge of the compensatory formula and the fact we have a healthy amount of cap space remaining my question for all of you becomes: Which 2 Qualifying UFAs would you add to the current roster?

Dont'a Hightower....

But seriously I think Jonathan Hankins was a beast last year. I'd be very interested in him.

Jonathan Hankins, big space eater who has the ability to collapse the pocket as well. Only 24 y/o and the longer he sits around the more I want him.

Really surprised that no one wants Brown?

Zach Brown was a Pro Bowler, but he seems to have run into the same situation as Cook when he hit FA. No one wants to sign him to big money because he's only done it for 1 year. I think he could be had on a value deal at this point.

I just have no idea what brown is, or what his game is about. Hankins I have seen affect the game.

The idea of having a GOOD inside linebacker is becoming more and more appealing to me. I'll take Zach Brown.

Still dont get how Lang is only a fourth. I figured 3rd for sure.

I really want Poe, but Brown is a better deal for me. I'm confident we could replace a DL in the draft, but not ILB; even if CMIII moves inside...

Do you combine comp picks to move up if we are over our limit IE 2 sixths become a fifth?
