Me, too. 

I don't sweat missing on Olujari or Bosa or Larry O one iota. I think all those are overpays for guys who are either super inconsistent or declining. 

If I am gonna go that vet route, I want a discount. Guys like Campbell (DT/, Zeitler & Scherff (G), Smith (Edge), Simmons (S), Gilmore (CB) are guys I would welcome at the right price. 

Not $12 million, though..

DE: Hendrickson, early pick + Ossai, Murphy is your top 4. C. Johnson or another pick/cheap vet is #5. That's it  

DT: Hill & Slaton will start. Jenkins & Jackson will backup. I'd bet on an early pick for a DT disruptor/pass rusher type. That is likely it. 

I guess we coukd carry 11 on the DL instead of the usual 10.
