Tyler Vagyler's Mock Offseason v1.0


TylerVagyler

Recommended Posts

Below is my first go at this and it's probably going to look pretty crazy and out of left field. There are several different coaching combinations I've been throwing around in my head but this is one is my attempt at being realistic but interesting. The roster moves are somewhat of a shot in the dark but it's only v1.0.

General Manager:

Marc Ross

Director of College Scouting, New York Giants

Head Coach:

Vic Fangio

Defensive Coordinator, San Francisco 49ers

We hire another successful defensive coordinator to be our next head coach. Vic Fangio has had a lot of recent success and will be in the rumor mills for more than one position this offseason. His ties to the organization make him a possible candidate here in Carolina.

Defensive Coordinator:

Todd Grantham

Defensive Coordinator, University of Georgia Bulldogs

Todd Grantham was the defensive line coach for Houston Texans while Fangio served as defensive coordinator. The two improved the Texans' defensive each year they were there together. Grantham has installed a shutdown defense at Georgia that is consistently rushing the passer and forcing turnovers. He seems like a random pick, but the connection with Fangio make it a possibility (and he'd be a solid choice).

Offensive Coordinator:

Jerald Ingram

Running Backs Coach, New York Giants

This is borrowed from CardiacCats' mock draft. I really like the idea of bringing him in as offensive coordinator and his ties with Marc Ross might be enough to lure him. Jonathan Stewart would be perfect in his system, taking a lot of pressure of off Cam's shoulders.

Offseason Moves:

Trade Deangelo Williams - I think we could get a 3rd round pick for him. I see a team that made the playoffs getting desperate and making a "win-now" decision in the offseason.

Restructure Jon Beason - There's no doubt Beason wants to stay here in Carolina. He will take a page out of his buddy Thomas Davis' book and work a new deal in order to help his squad out.

Release Jordan Gross - This is will be a tough move but Jordan is aging and he performance shows. He's still a quality player, but we could use the money elsewhere.

NFL Draft:

I'm guessing we will finish 5-11 and pick 6th overall.

Round 1:

Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M

Jordan Gross will need a replacement. This is the guy for the job.

Round 2:

Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State

Captain Munnerlyn will leave as a free agent, Josh Norman hasn't convinced us he's a future #1 corner, and Chris Gamble is starting to age. Xavier Rhodes is a beast and probably won't slip this far but it'd be a great addition.

Round 3 (we trade our 4th this year and 3rd next to move up):

Da'Rick Rodgers, WR, Tennessee Tech

We always move up in the draft and I think we do it in order to get a big receiver. His character issues will take him from a late first/early second to an early third, where we will hopefully grab him. Unbelievable talent, just needs to mature as a person.

Round 3 (Williams pick):

Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia

114199-650-366.jpg

This is a position we have to address. Jarius Byrd is not coming here and we can't afford anyone else in FA at this position. Rambo is an electrify player who'd be coming in to play with his college defensive coordinator.

Round 5:

Josh Boyd, DT, Mississippi State

Big boy.

Round 6:

Joseph Fauria, TE, UCLA

65160500.jpg

This guy is huge (6' 7") and can catch. Get him.

Round 7:

Dustin Hopkins, K, Florida State

He kicks the ball.

I don't see much of this draft happening. Joeckel will most likely be gone at the number 3 overall, if not number 2. Xavier Rhodes will most likely go in the first round. I consider him to be the number two corner in the draft. As someone else said, we won't get a third for D-Will. We won't even get a seventh for him for two reasons. One, he is old for a running back. (And this season doesn't help any) Two, his contract. I also don't like trading next year's draft picks for a guy who has red flags in Da'Rick Rodgers. Last but not least, Joseph Fauria will be gone by the third round. I don't want to be drag, but I just see too much wrong in this draft.

I can dig this offseason. Not my first choices in the coaching selections or the first round pick, but I'd be satisfied with yours. I also don't think we'll get a 3rd for Deangelo. 4th maybe at best. More likely a 5th with the possibility of it becoming a 4th or even 3rd if achievements are met (4th if he goes over 1k yards, 3rd if he's in the Pro Bowl maybe).

I also think Joeckel might be gone before we pick, but if he's there I wouldn't mind the pick (though I'd prefer Star or Hankins.)

I like this draft but I hate it when fans go out of their minds and start mocking new coaching staffs. There's no way you're gonna hit on it. But I love Vic Fangio. I really hope that our next HC will be either Fangio or Roman.

I love Joeckel, love Rhodes, Love Rogers (but not sure he'll be in the 3rd), love Rambo, loves Boyd, Fauria and Hopkins all in the late rounds. Great mock overall!

    • 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.
