My main priority is Maurice Hurst for around $1-2m. Always broken but if I can get 400 snaps from him for that money I'm happy enough. As a rotational guy he's the best shot at near-elite performance at DT for peanuts. I'd also look at Shelby Harris. This is assuming Jones is kept, if not I'd aim higher.

My least popular choice is listed above. I mentioned Tyron Smith way back. A big risk especially as he'll cost maybe $10m. But man, he looked damn good last year. A massive upgrade on D Smith. More than likely he'd break and it would be a mess. What can I say, I love a gamble.
But if we had Morris and Niang as backups, and maybe a rookie development tackle for depth as well, would you still be worried about Tyron Smith's health at just $10m cap hit? That's not much, we got by with a D. Smith and Morris this year, and you said yourself T. Smith would be a massive upgrade. That's only $7m more than we spent on D. Smith, and $10m is pretty low for a LT.

Just thinking out loud, I have no dog in this fight.
