That's 4 ND picks + 1 PSD pick there without even thinking. Jackson, Meyer (got a feeling he'll survive on a one-year deal), JON and Johnson (ret?) next in line.
It depends on how many picks we end up with after trade week. Right now we have something like picks 6, 25, 41, 57, 73, 89, etc .... + PSD pick 6. The more early picks the more current players cut.
