Drafting a safety that can step in and play as well as Jenkins in the box but better in coverage would be a huge help to the cap since he's not an "obvious" cut compered to Griffin, Marvin and RRH etc.

The Taylor/ Little situation will have major cap implications.

You kind of have to go with Little.

You can't have a lot of money locked up in Taylor and Cam. Trevor makes all the Olinemen look better than they actually are.

Little has to play RT next year, for sure. I think Safety wise there's a few decent one's to be had in the draft. I really like J.L Skinner from Boise State. Also like John Torchio out of Wisconsin. He's done some good work up there with Jim Leonhard's defense (Former Jets standout at Safety). 

I agree with at least 2 - 3 starters coming out of this draft class next year. Will more than likely need a CB, NT & S on defense. Will more than likely need a TE and G on offense. Going to be an interesting off season. Confident though as long as Lawrence and Pederson continue to develop an offensive gameplan that keeps us in games. Which I think they will.
