I think even if Kulak claims the #6 spot you see Bartkowski as the #7. That is unless one of the younger guys badly outplays him in camp. He has enough experience to step in at a moments notice, and it doesn't hurt any kid's development by having them in the press box. I still think he's the #7 barring a miracle performance from someone.
