We can likely get Strief back cheap. RTs don't command much money and he'll be 31 at the start of the season.

That said we still need to draft or sign a young tackle as a replacement IF we don't like Harris, Jones, or that other guy. Personally if Jones has been developing well he is a fricking wall of a man and I'd love to have him starting.

the ideal pick for me would be a guy that could come in at center for a few years then move over to guard when pulling the plug on Grubbs or Evans.

Grubbs and Evans are only gonna get harder to keep as they age and their contracts keep going up.
Evans $11mil per year in 2014 &15. And not cuttable. And turning 31 & 32.
Grubbs $9.1mil & 9.6mil in 2014 & 15. And not cuttable. Age 31 & 32
Their both under contract 2016 but cuttable. A $4mil cap hit would save over $15mil.

They have rolled so much forward I dunno if ya could realistically restructure them at that age.
