Final Offseason Mock Before Combine (updated)

I really have no clue what Bennett's value is but I think we could get him in the ballpark of what is above.

 

Nicks is going to get a decent sized contract. I think around 6 mil per year is likely. 

 

0% chance Bennett signs anywhere for that cheap.

I think you are right on the money with the FA signings and resignings.  I don't like the draft picks, never a fan of OG in the first. Purifoy has been playing in a man system, but I think he would have the tools to play in a zone scheme. I get so nervous about these man CB's, because we just don't play man.

Yankey played tackle up until his senior year when he moved inside. He was pretty dominant at both positions. He is a monster and it'd be nice to have his versatility with the uncertainty of our current OL. And adding Hurst in the second is an absolute steal. His leg injury might keep him out of the combine but he should definitely be ready for the rookie camps. He could start day 1 as Bell's replacement.

Yankey may be the best OL in this draft but he won't be drafted as such. That said I have zero interest in a first round OG as well. We are limited looking at OT in that spot. I don't see a good one dropping and thus we should wait, though I've made entire threads on this topic. Gimme an OT if there, but I dont see it.

I like it!

I'm afraid that Munnerlyn, Gross, and probably Ginn will want more guaranteed. Probably in the 500k-1M more.

Also this doesn't take into account the total cap hit, which is truly what we have to be concerned with, not just the guaranteed. I'm afraid after recalculating those figures our additional FA signings may not look so feasible.

Once more, none of this is truly possible without the restructures, hope they can make this happen.

Love it!

 

Love the Nicks and Tillman pickups.

Love the Hardy trade.

Love the "David Yankey" pick; "BOLD" pick! (been waiting to see if anyone would bring up his name)

Love the Purifoy and Hurst pickups.

Love the Landry and Reynolds picks, but I dont think they're going to be there.

 

You should really think about cutting Dwill too. It would help save some money.

 

I just dont think Michael Bennett is going to take that 2 mil guaranteed and that contract for Nicks is pretty huge.

 

Great mock.

 

^ Pretty much this with the exception of the Yankey pick @ 28. That picks should go to an offensive weapon e.g. WR (Matthews, Robinson), TE (ASJ though I could see a trade here with Seattle to keep him away from NE) or OT (if the value is there). I'm also not sure about the Tillman pickup, as I'm sure he'll want to get paid and, if I had the choice, I would take the younger, position needy Nicks. Having better WRs would do wonders for our anemic offense.

 

If this scenario worked out, I would also prefer a combination of BPA @ OL/CB or Kyle Van Noy (OLB) with the 2nd round picks and use our third on Hurst as a potential replacement for Gross. Due to his injury, I think he would be a steal in the 3rd.

Love EJ Gaines.

My problem is I don't believe Kug will start at RT. Why not Wharton?

    • 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.
