Good news, the others will follow. In my time I've never heard of a 2nd rounder holding out & not making it to camp, especially w/the way the rookie $ is slotted. They'll all be ready for 7/20 (unless Davis oversleeps on his day to sign).

This Rinehart kid could turn out to be a crucial pick. We need the depth & a long term starter. If he doesn't pan out it will hurt. Even though he's just a 3rd round pick, they need him to step up immediately. Not necessarily as a starter, but as a utility man to fill in wherever needed (except center i suppose).

One thing I thought of; if Jansen or Samuels goes down, who will replace them; Rinehart, Wade or Heyer? Wade would seem the choice if he's healthy, but it looked as if Heyer beat him out late last year. I definitely can't see them going w/the rook at LT, but maybe at RT.
