Show me how you would spend that money on your free agents to have this team ready for the draft.

I would try and extend Spencer (our own FA).
But otherwise, I'd look to bring in a 1 quality OG, and move Bern to OC to compete against Costa. Also, I'd look to bring in a 3rd WR on the cheap and a rotational RB (perhaps Ivory from the Saints as they may not be able to keep him and their other 3 RBs).
Since you're assuming we cut Connor, I would look to extend Sims and bring in 1 more OLB.
I'd then be able to focus the Draft on more DL, Safety, and OL. In fact, I may go that way in the Draft. I would use Day 3 picks on adding a 3rd RB, a 3rd TE (with blocking skills to complement Witten and Hanna), and OLB.
I think this team could really use an extra 3rd or 4th rounder for depth purposes - whether it's on the OL, LB, etc. I would see if I could engineer a trade down a few spots in Round 1, unless someone I really liked fell, and pick up that extra draft pick.
