A premier RT or IOL guy might be, however. But again, I do not think it is a particularly well regarded draft class for high end OL players.

If we move on from Bates, that $$ plus the cap increase should allow us to bring back the majority of Hurst, Perine, Pratt, Bell, and Apple, IF those deals are reasonable. If one of those guys is too expensive or gets away, I'd expect we draft a replacement.

Hopefully we'll be in BPA mode come April.

I think it's safe and reasonable to budget for $25 mill to spend between Hurst, Bell, and Pratt.
Each one will probably be valued in the $7-10 mill APY range.
