Mock Offseason by Snow

[saX man]

FA note

Per all the hints Rivera and Gettleman have been dropping about "playmakers", I think they are trying to wiggle enough cap room for 1 decent FA signing, potentially at WR. I honestly think we are gonna try and lure Mike Wallace or Dwayne Bowe but realistically, there are other options (non-Hackett/Murphy types) if we can't get the $ situated for one of the top wideouts. We will see most likely in about 12 days but I'm gonna go out on a limb:

WR - Brandon Lloyd (Scenario: Patriots cut him and grab Wallace)

CB - Tony Carter (Ideal CB to target imo if Denver doesn't re-sign him)

FB/TE - Delanie Walker (I can see him re-signing with SF but I'd love him here)

Draft

Round 1) OG - Chance Warmack (Alabama)

note: Fill that gaping hole on our line with the best lineman in the entire draft. I think he's available come draft day. If not, go Lane Johnson or Patterson.

Round 2) DT - Brandon Williams (Miss Southern St.)

note: beast. I think he is the most fitting DT candidate for our line in the draft. Can play 1 through 5 tech. 6'1 335 [D-line: CJ-Dwan-Brandon-Kraken(Frank)]. Other candidates: Quinton Patton/Hunter/T-Williams

Round 4) FS - DJ Swearinger (South Carolina)

note: I hope he's here because I think he'd be a good fit in our secondary.

Round 5) WR - Corey Fuller (Virginia Tech)

note: Fuller makes big plays when needed and outshined Davis this season from my perspective. Good size, breakaway speed (track runner), and an overall well rounded player minus some blocking issues that can for sure be fixed.

Round 6) QB - Matt Scott (Arizona)

note: I think he could be a good backup QB for us. Could fit in the offense well if called to step up.

Round 6 comp I) WR - Rodney Smith (Florida St.)

BIG receiver that we can bring in for competition. Smith-FA-LaFell-Fuller-Smith (We're good to go)

Round 6 Comp II) TE - Mychael Rivera (Tennessee)

note: new athletic TE

Not bad, I'd probably swap that 6th round WR with a Kicker, but I'd be happy with that draft.

Here's a good vid on Brandon Williams:

[Nicbsbll2]

One of the few issues I had is cutting Anderson. If you get rid of a linebacker then it has to be Beason. Beason is more expensive than Anderson plus Beason hasn't played (very successfully) Anderson's spot in the NFL.

i really would have liked it a bit.....maybe switch the 6 with wr buckner or harrison....could have picked another position besides te at the end. since you got walker...gary is a good back up.

matt scott wont be their at 6....hell be around 3-5.

overall love the first 3 just would change the rest.....and get better corner.....is tony carter really good???

Barnidge is a good backup but not currently on the team (UFA). I just hope we get a TE to compliment Olsen. Having Shockey in Cam's 1st year really helped and that FB/TE type could bode really well in our system.

Carter seemed liked a solid starting CB in Denver across from Bailey. Nothing flashy or a big playmaker but he gets the job done. He's shorter than I'd like but we do have Norman and Thomas.

At DT, if we end up going after a NT in the FA instead of the draft, I think Desmond Bryant or Sammie Lee Hill would be good options.

This is a great offseason, but I think gamble will be cut to make room for those FA signings

[IamSoClutch]

Would love Walker and Brandon Lloyd

[ZackAttack23]

I'd swap the 6th round WR with a K, 6th round QB with a DE, but other than that good draft!

[carolina-chuck]

Wouldn't mind

'preciate it

I agree but was thinking releasing Gamble may not necessarily be set in stone. It does free up a lot of cap room. If we did get rid of Gamble, I'd probably have Sean Smith as my FA...but I'd stick with the draft as is and maybe swap Scott for a CB.

[SOJA]

cutting Anderson is one option I'd be totally for if it cleared up a good chunk of cap space, and one that hasn't been discussed all that much on here

Not a fan of short DB's
