Interestingly, the article says we have nearly $35 million in cap space.

35 is the correct number as of today.
OL is too easy for the "experts", we literally have zero peeps at DT and the other CB.

Well, on paper, at this moment, I'd say:
1) RT (Reiff is a FA and chances of a starting RT are slim at #31).
2) Guard. Both spots. Spain is a FA. Adeniji + Carman would start. More likely we could get help at #31 (Zion Johnson, Kenyon Green). But Spain on a reasonable deal (under $5 mil) + a vet upgrade (Corbett, Daniels, Tomlinson) would be wonderful.
3) DT. Larry O, Hill, and Tupou are all FAs.
4) CB. Waynes is technically still a Bengal but we need that cap space. Apple a FA. He seems like a guy that thinks too highly of himself. Could be pricey.
5) C. Hopkins under contract. But boy, an upgrade would be nice. So would $6 mil in cap space. Even if Linderbaum's stubby arms don't have him fall to us, it is supposedly a deep C class. Zion Johnson is also possible, though he played guard.
6) TE. CJ is a FA and Sample is worthless as a receiver.
7) Safety. Allen retired. Wilson coming off injury. Bates on a tag.
8) WR depth beyond big 3.
9) Punter. Huber is done.
10) Punt returner. Sign Taylor already.
