Pre-Combine Mock Offseason


TylerVagyler

Recommended Posts

Cut/Release:
Charles Johnson - $11m cap savings; not worth restructuring due to poor performance.
Jared Allen - $8m cap savings; too many injuries and inconsistent performances.
Teddy Williams - $900k cap savings; waste of a roster spot.

Resign:
Josh Norman - franchise tag $14m; absolutely cannot let him walk. 
Brad Nortman - pay him whatever average punters make.
Kyle Love - great backup.
JJ Jansen - keep him around.
Amini Silatolu - only if he's cheap. not a bad backup.

Free Agency:

new-york-giants-jason-pierre-paul-return

Jason Pierre-Paul, DE - 4 years, $9,500,000mil per season
We could see a huge overhaul at DE. Gettleman loves his DL and I expect us to be players for a top pass-rusher. Gettleman was with the Giants with JPP was draft and should be very familiar with his talents. JPP should have a custom made glove next season and no more club-hand. However, despite the club-hand this season, he was quite disruptive. He would be a great addition and give us a nice tandem with Ealy emerging on the other side.

Brandon Boykin, CB - 2 years, $3,500,000 per season
We need to address the nickel back position. Brandon Boykin is a very underrated player in the league. If he slips out of Pittsburgh we should be all over him. A trio of Norman, Bene and Boykin would be solid beside our LB group. He should be fairly cheap as well. Small guy but big playmaker.

Tyvon Branch, SS - 2 years, $?? maybe 4mil per?
Bring in some competition for Boston. Branch had a solid season with the Chiefs, just didn't get much playing time.

Anquan Boldin, WR - 2 years. $3,000,000 per season
KB is returning and Funch is developing into a promising number 2 option. With Cotchery is out the door, the team would use another vet while the young core continues to grow. Boldin would be a perfect fit for this team, both on the field and in the locker room. He gets a chance to win another ring and lead a group of young, talented WRs. And play with Cam.

NFL Draft:

Round 1:
kevin-dodd-ncaa-football-wake-forest-cle


Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson
Grab another young DE to groom. A rotation of JPP, Ealy and Dodd on the outside with Star, KK and Love inside is championship material. 

Round 2:
8060408-850x560.jpg

Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma

This should be the last step on the WR overhaul. KB, Funch, Shepard, Brown as the future core; Ginn and Boldin hanging around while they develop. Shepard has potential to be a lethal threat in the slot. Quick and shifty. Big play ability. Chip on his shoulder.

Round 3:
19626039-mmmain.jpg

Willie Beavers, OT, Western Michigan

Under the radar type player with loads of potential. He has the size and athleticism to play LT in the league.

Round 4:
kenyan-drake-ncaa-football-chattanooga-a

Kenyon Drake, RB, Alabama

Effective in the run and the pass. Extremely quick but also very patient. Big play ability. Creates mismatches with the opposing LBs. Perfect fit here in Carolina.

Round 5:
glenn-gronkowski-012816.jpg


Glenn Gronkowski, FB, Kansas State
Our new FB. One of the top blockers in college football.

Round 7:
No clue about prospects at this point in the draft.

Would like that offseason.  Only thing I'd change in the draft would be the 3rd round.  Not a big fan of small school OL. I'm kind of like zod on this one where at this position is a spot where you want someone from a big program.  See Norwell and Turner vs Amini and Kug.

 

Would rather see Vannett.  Massive size and athletic ability. Great blocker and has shown soft hands at the TE spot.  Kid could possibly beat out Dickson who I thought struggled this postseason

    • The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025
    • I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you? 
    • As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
