Orlando Brown would be the only A tier guy under 30 without injury history. Ryan Jensen doesn't have the injury history, but is over 30. Brown is projected to get $21-23 mil APY and Jensen $11-13 mil APY, so that doesn't leave enough room to resign guys and fill other holes if you're going after 3 guys in that price range. Plus, the chances of an OL falling into our laps at 31 that isn't a reach, fits the scheme, can play at a high level immediately, and doesn't play the same position as one of the FA adds is pretty slim.
There are a number of B tier OL this year coming off their rookie deals that are still young, don't have the injury history, are quality starters, and who's play is still trending upwards.
I think our divide here in our conversation is what an A tier is vs a B tier.
In my mind...
A Tier: Quality Starter or more
B Tier: Mediocre Starter/Borderline Starter
C Tier: High Quality Backup/Poor Starter
I think you've made A Tier really small. Bozeman was rated the 11th C, Daniels the 19th G, Corbett the 21st G. I think those are A Tier guys if they're in the top dozen or so at their position per starter spot.
