Actually just did a check to see what percentage of my cap each position group was taking up. My OL, including backups, cost 33.9 million, which was 25.69% of the cap that year and my highest percentage for a position group. That number will be going up too as I want to keep Peter Boma and he's coming into a free agent year, so that's probably another 6 or 7 million right there. And that line features two top ten picks, Lankford and Jackson.
The D-line, inlcuding backups, was costing me 27.08 million, or 20.53% of my cap. So, yeah, my two lines were costing almost half my cap, but I feel it's money well worth it as they're both dominant. And actually, that's not too awful when you think of it as the 9 positions on the line are 40% of the team and they're taking up 45% of the cap costs. And now that I've thrown English out on his ***, I can afford to keep these groups together a little longer. Not bad for the Detroit Lions.
