Second, with the fact we don't seem to be getting closer on the LT contract, would you consider trading Bates to say, Detroit at 2 if they would accept, and replace him with Kyle Hamilton or would he not be a good fit for that role in our D? Would you only require the #2 overall or more for Bates?

Third, the draft can't get here fast enough.

First of all, as others have said, Bates is not worth #2 overall.

Second, we are in win-now mode.  With the possible exception of Hamilton, I don't want any rookie lining up at free safety this year or next.

Worse comes to worst, franchise JBII again next year.  This year and next we are all in.
