That's enough for a big ticket DL at either DE or NT, depending on need based on the play of Jackson and Murphy the rest of the year. You can find rotation/depth guys later in the draft or on the cheap in FA. By trading Rankins now, we save another $2 mil, plus get an extra pick.
Rankins was a semi-big ticket DL pickup this year.
