I agree that two out of Xmas, BMK, and NN seems like it would be too much of an offensive drag.  So RS BMK.  Then it would be up to JB to minimize the Rak/NN combos.
 
 I disagree with your last line.   Can always use more elite talent.  But that is a question mark for me, is NN elite?  I know the hype is saying he is.  But no one even claims he has much offense.  So, is he defensively elite?  Is he as good as Fab was last year?
 
We just saw the difference of what Fab in the lineup can do.  Rak and BMK were a drop down.  If NN is at the Fab level he brings an added defensive dimension.  I would be hoping for DC2 to fill an RJ role and have NN and Rak divvy up the 5 minutes.
 
If NN is not as advertised though, it could get messy.  That is my fear, is NN really going to be much better than Rak at the 5?  He is built more like Rak than like Fab.  And if NN is more like Rak, and you pretty much have to play him, and sit Dirty/CJ, then the team does suffer.
 
In the end though, I want JB to have as many good tools/players at his disposal as possible.
