We just have so many holes to fill right now, an oft injured QB was not tops on the list.

Yeah, but I think the amount of holes is why you had to go after Bradford instead of MM. Hopefully they can get Bradford to restructure and free up a bit more cap space. They're sitting with about $24M in cap space at the moment, with Bradford, Maxwell, and Graham accounted for. Have to reserve about $6M for draft and UDFA signings, roster filler, etc. They'll probably want to stash about $7-10M for injuries and to account for the cap dropping next year, so that leaves $7-10M to go after probably two of RB, S, CB, and G. With the draft being deep at RB, it probably makes sense to go after G and S in FA and then grab a CB like Marcus Peters in the first round and maybe someone like David Johnson or TJ Yeldon in the third. Mind you, it could be hard to turn down Gurley if he's there at 20.
