yet another mock from TVag

Recommended Posts

Chris Canty being cut by the New York Giants changes everything for me. In my opinion, this guy is a must get for us. Whether or not it happens is another thing. Anyways, here is a mock offseason I would be in favor of seeing.

Release:

Chris Gamble - CB is a need for this team even with Gamble still on the roster. However, due to Hurney's spending spree we are unable to keep him. There is too much money in his contract. This is a no-brainer.

Ron Edwards - Has been a disappointment and we can do better.

Haruki Nakamura - He sucks. End of story.

Resign:

Captain Munnerlyn - As much as I'd like to see him go, with the release of Gamble we will need to see Captain return. Hopefully we can bring in 1 or 2 more guys and allow Captain to play the nickel.

Jordan Senn - Works hard, solid on STs, and will be cheap. I'd like to see him stay.

Restructure:

Jon Beason - He has been injured almost every game since he signed his monster deal. He will also be moving to the outside where he is less effective (still very good, though). These 2 details leave Beason very little leverage with his new GM. I fully expect this to happen.

Jordan Gross - He is aging and his performance is declining. Gross knows his days are numbered and should be willing to restructure his deal in order to stay (and to help his team).

Trade:

DeAngelo Williams - As much as I'd love to see him in the category above, I highly doubt it will happen. Williams is still a solid back but we are in cap trouble and he is expendable.

New York Jets get: DeAngelo Williams, 6th round pick

Carolina Panthers get: 3rd round pick

Free Agency:

Chris Canty, DT

It almost makes too much sense. Grew up in Charlotte, brought into New York by Gettleman, and plays at a position of need. He would without a doubt be an upgrade over Edwards. Having Canty with CJ and Hardy would be so awesome.

Chris Houston, CB

Not a flashy signing but a solid one. Houston ranks as a top 25 CB according to PFF (which I think is reliable). I don't anticipate him getting huge offers so hopefully we make a run at him.

Patrick Chung, S

This signing wouldn't make headlines but he is better than Martin and would probably cost us about the same. Let Martin walk and bring in Chung.

Brian Hartline, WR

Hartline is another guy that I think we can get at a decent price.

Draft:

Round 1: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State

712511-460x360.jpg

Hankins is a monster but may not be available at #14. If he is, I'd love to draft him and pair him beside Canty to complete our DL. The starting 4 would be very lethal, in my opinion.

Round 2: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State

Rhodes across from Houston with Captain at nickel would be a fresh, new look for our secondary.

Round 3: Ryan Swope, WR, Texas A&M

512x.jpg

Excellent slot receiver. Would be a nice weapon in our offense. Adding Swope and Hartline would take pressure off Smitty and LaFell and open up the passing game. Factor in Olsen and the passing game looks promising.

Round 4: Ryan Otten, TE, San Jose State

Otten is huge (6' 6") and put up some solid numbers this past season (52 receptions, 740 yards, 5 TDs) and is also a pretty good blocker. Another weapon for Cam.

Round 5: Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech

Uzzi will probably be in every mock I do. I really want him.

Round 6 (comp): Shaq Wilson, OLB, South Carolina

439x.jpg

Shaq is a very talented player. He is undersized (5' 11") but plays aggressive and is fast. He is also an extremely hard worker. 86 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 FF, and 2 INTs last season. He would be a solid depth guy and a great addition to our STs coverage.

Round 6 (comp): Dustin Hopkins, K, Florida State

c4s_hopkins101412_243840c.jpg

He's a kicker.

Roster: (for the most part)

QB: Cam Newton

HB: Jonathan Stewart, Armond Smith, Tyrone Poole

FB: Mike Tolbert, Richie Brockel

WR: Steve Smith, Ryan Swope, Joe Adams

WR: Brian Hartline, Brandon LaFell, David Gettis

TE: Greg Olsen, Ryan Otten

LT: Jordan Gross, Bruce Campbell

LG: Amini Silatolu, Hangman

C: Ryan Kalil

RG: Omoregie Uzzi

RT: Byron Bell

LE: Greg Hardy, Frank Alexander

DT: Chris Canty, Andre Neblett

DT: Johnathan Hankins, Frank Kearse

RE: Charles Johnson

OLB: Jon Beason/James Anderson, Jordan Senn

MLB: Luke Keuchly

OLB: Thomas Davis/James Anderson, Shaq Williams

CB: Chris Houston, Captain Munnerlyn

SS: Patrick Chung, Colin Jones

FS: Chris Godfrey, DJ Campbell

CB: Xavier Rhodes, Josh Norman

I know it looks like we wouldn't be able to afford all of those signings but with the cuts/trades/restructures we should have some wiggle room and I don't anticipate those 4 being expensive. On top of all of this, I'd expect the team to get a couple fillers for the depth on the OL as well as a backup QB.

that's a playoff team imo

plus, you're not going to fix all of our problems in one offseason. this gives us balance and depth while leaving room to build.

Should have elaborated earlier. My glass is less than half full on this one. Hankins might be a good eventually but not a big fan as he is overrated.. Rhodes would be a good get inthe 2nd if available. The WR has potential and will most likely sit on the sideline and have potential with the likes of Gettis, Adams, Edwards, Pilares. The TE replaces Barnidge in the stat column. Uzzi is a good get and by far the bright spot IMO. Wilson could be a sleeper or be inactive for most of the season. Might as well take a kicker with the last pick. Cant get much worse.

Some of the offseason moves are pretty good and the pick ups are good but I dont see any long term help. Agree that there is no silver bullet (or bowling ball in this case) that can solve all the problems.

Just my opinion and not trying to be mean. I just dont like this one that much. I will post another mock soon so feel free to kick my teeth in or provide insight if you dont agree.

Thanks for the post and stirring the conversation.

didn't think you were being a jerk or anything.

we could go in a lot of different directions this offseason. my goal in this mock was to try and bring fresh faces to important positions. the FA signings aren't flashy and wouldn't get much attention but it definitely makes us a better team.

Hartline isn't the answer at WR but he is an upgrade. He will hold us over until we can make a serious upgrade there (maybe Nicks next offseason?).

Same thing with Chung. Not a long term answer but will hold us over until we make a serious upgrade.

We can't fix everything right away. This mock give us depth at most positions and let's us build with draft picks.

only 1 sack okay ........... and 4 tackles for losses for hankins......

i like for my dt to have tackles for losses because it shows they getting penetration..

you need someone to get pressure from inside so you can force the qb outside to the DE.

kwan short is better for that. 16 tackles for loss and 7 sacks.......over 20 backfield disruptions.

Not bad all.

I like how you still drafted Hankins and Rhodes even though to signed Canty and Houston. In this mock, it works.

Love it! Hope it happens.

-I'm one of the few who love BIG JON HANKINS!

-Chung can also be have at the CHEAP; no doubt.

-And Hartline can def thrive in the slot playing along 89; i.e. Wes Welker. Hartline is a BEAST! If we don't nab him, NE will!

    • 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.
