If we lost 2 of our mid range players this year it wouldn't be the worst thing, hopefully they would nett good picks in a great draft, relieve a bit of cap pressure and we have young guys busting to get in the side anyway who may even end up better players.
Say we lost B Ellis and Bolton. we should get 2 picks under 25, we land Lynch as a free agent, then go to the draft with 3 picks in first 25 and only losing 2 players who we have ample depth to cover.
Never nice to lose Premiership players but this year is the year for the club to be a bit brave IMO
