It seems to be getting to a point now where RT is becoming the cheapest position on the OL.
Out of all the positions, here are how many players are $10+ mill a year average:
LT - 15 (highest is Taylor Lewan, $16 mill)
LG - 4 (highest is Andrew Norwell, $13.3 mill)
C - 2 (highest is Ryan Jensen, $10.5 mill)
RG - 6 (highest is Zach Martin, $14 mill)
RT - 1 (Lane Johnson, $11.25 mill)

In fact, RT only has four players above $8 mill a year. RT is super cheap now.

Go after a RT and LB in FA, get RG (and another LB) in the draft.
