I like a few others think they'll draft his replacement this year and let him walk next year. Let someone else overpay for him. So yes I could see him playing the Ricardo Allen role for a year and then taking Bates spot next year.
You think there's a huge drop-off from Hill to Cook from Cincy or Corker from UK in later rounds? Personally, I'd like to see us address CB2 or LG (hell even 3 tech or edge) over S in the 1st, but Bates will leave a big hole in that secondary in 23.
