Our best bet is probably a team with a solid chance to make a title run missing a critical piece in my opinion.

It's hard to see any contender giving up draft picks just to back a Brink's truck up to Bates' door when Honey Badger is still sitting out there in FA.  There's also a couple of decent stopgap options in Jaquiski Tartt and Rodney McLeod.  Plus, there's plenty of good FS prospects in the draft.
