Kelly Jr. over EE's Tuttle and Kirkland?

LB corp is open besides JRM (assuming Maggitt plays mostly DE and not a whole lot of Sam). We rarely use a Sam, and when we do it's likely going to be Weatherd/Maggitt. So to me the MLB spot is open, and I think it's Bates for the taking. Jmo, Kirkland is an HM because he could very well win the spot. He will be good no doubt. Missing the spring won't help him.

Tuttle will play, but so will Kelly. Realistically if Tuttle isn't ready, he may not play a whole lot. I think he will, but worst case. Best case scenario, Tuttle is 4th on the DT chart behind DOB, Kahlil, and Owen. Worst case he's 5-6 behind Sauls (if he can play) and/or Mlxon/Vickers.

On the other hand, say Paulk isn't reinstated, Kelly is #3. Worst case scenario, he's #3. Best case scenario, he's #3. Again I said assuming Paulk stays gone in my prediction. Kelly has to be ready and is an injury away from 20 snaps or more a game.

One injury away? We do have Hurd and Kamara...... Plus a little utility guy in RDA4. I doubt he would get 20 carries.
