RT = brown, OG = lutui (mainly as depth/competition, the starting OG market is pretty dry right now unless you want a 330 pounder, which isn't mike's style).
at LB you probably want a vet as both competition and failure/injury insurance, cause we saw what happened when we were short OL guys and started pulling them off the street and starting them... ugly. just like harrison or hoke would be purely depth, i think there's still 5-7 more vets coming in that way at vet min to ~2.5mill/year.
the only big signing left might be a modest b edwards deal, but honestly, a loser with 14 other WRs might not be super attractive and donte/gaffney/AA/hankerson will be fine as our #2-5 if that's what we end up with. Though we'll have to keep 6 WRs either way, since donte can only play about 6 games in a year (fragile).

Lutui already signed elsewhere, so he's out of the running. And yeah I could see us getting another cornerback, since both Rogers and Buchanon left and we've only replaced them with Wilson so far. Kevin Barnes should have the opportunity to step up but if he's not ready to be 3rd corner yet we should have some insurance just in case.
As far as LB goes, well we have Riley, Henson, Blades, all guys who can play the middle. I think the FO might be content to just have them since they were all here last year and should equally know the system by now. But then again you might be right, they might want some vet. insurance. As for WR, who knows we might be done. If we are it's no big deal, as we have plenty.
