Once we landed Tua I felt like our offense should be vastly improved, and in the second round we wouldn't need to grab a WR like Mims and instead could could one of two ways. The first plan was making the defensive line a true strength long term by investing even more assets in the defensive line, which is the path I took. The other considered path was taking corners Jaylon Johnson and Kristian Fulton. Had we gone the other direction our edges would have remained Nick Bosa and Shaq Barrett, with interior lineman Zach Allen and Jurrell Casey. It's really appealing now in retrospect just as it was at the time. Johnson, Fulton, Mackenzie Alexander and Amik would have been a very good CB group and would have opened up moving on from Dre Kirkpatrick. However I valued building a bully more with depth and took Yetur and Epenesa. One reason was that I expect Shaq Barrett to command a tremendous contract next season and I don't think I'll be able to afford it. The other is I think this line has potential to elevate the play of the rest of the defense, because it can rotate and be fresh. I am looking to have Nick Bosa at a wide nine, then next to him in the 3 gap is Jurrell Casey, followed by Rashard Lawrence, then AJ Epenesa as a 5 tech base end. From Epenesa side I will have Shaq Barrett as a stand up blitzer mimicing a 3-4 look. These 5 are the pressure we will bring, with Zach Allen rotating with Casey and Epenesa, Lawrence rotating out in passing situations for a second 3 tech (Epenesa or Allen), and Yetur as a rotational rusher for Shaq Barrett and Nick Bosa. If all hell breaks loose and we have to move on from Casey and lose Shaq then we still have Bosa, Yetur, Allen, Epenesa, and Lawrence. This is the foundation of the team and our identity. The other trench was built up too. Arguably we over paid last offseason for Trent Brown, then we drafted Dalton Risner. Quessenberry is alright as a reserve, but the rest of the line was going to get Tua killed if we didn't revamp it. Signing Jack Conkin in free agency gave us book end power tackles, and then drafting Cushenberry as a center with rare positional length and Bredeson I'm happy. I almost wonder if Cushenberry and Risner would be better off flipping positions.as Risner played his freshman year as a center and his athleticism would be benefitual while Cushenberry's strength and length could work at guard. Regardless, I think this offensive line is worse than our defensive, but very solid and considerably better than where I feel an expansion team would be expected to be at. We can't afford to "David Carr" Tua. The only issue is our line is a real good looking power gap scheme looking line, and Gurley did a lot of work on outside zone runs. Gurley is only a 1 year deal though, so if it works it works, if not alright. Also we drafted Josh Jones to develop which was important as tackles can take a beating and both Trent and Jack has injury histories. Tua's weapons aren't fantastic, but they are roster able. Quintez Cephus will need to get more separation, and projecting him as the starter is a big ask, however last year we had Brice Butler -- soo we've upgraded the spot. Cephus impressed me with his possession catches and his ability to win 50/50 balls. He has hops, and so does Donovan Peoples-Jones our other rookie wide out. DPJ I drafted earlier, but is our projected backup because he is an athletic project in our view. We think he has WR1 upside, but needs time to develop into that player. This shortened offseason may harm that outlook as well and we likely look at the top crop of WRs next year and roll the wheel again. Harmon returns as a successful 5th round pick last year, and we hope Cephus can provide similar or better returns and DPJ as a longer term investment. Our slot Crowder looks to have a heavy load as the veteran of the group, and hopefully Ebron can focus and limit his drops to add another element. Rookie TEs Hunter Bryant looks like an athletic receiving option that is ready to roll as a #2 as long as his knees check out. I'm not too sad about his run blocking prospects as he was one of our 7th round picks and the receiving outlets aspect is more important right now for Tua. Pinkney I liked as a person and although he doesn't have the athletic profile I think he is a try hard and an effort guy that would be able to contribute. Littleton and Kevin Pierre Lewis should upgrade our LB corps, especially if Mack Wilson takes a step. Between Wilson and Littleton I believe we have two above average coverage linebackers which is a nice feeling when I intend to send 5 frequently at the QB. I like KPL and believe he may start over Wilson if Wilson doesn't take the necessary step this year, which is possible with the weird offseason. AJ Green, Lamar Jackson come in as depth CBs with the right build. It's funny that they have the superstar names, but I was targeting Dane Jackson as well, but Buffalo snagged him. I wanted some guys that could work in press man. I hope at least one of the two pans out so I don't need to go off on the position next offseason, but I am confident in Amik to lock down a spot. With Haha and Kojo on one year safety deals I think the defensive backs will be passable, especially due to what I consider an impressive front line that should generate considerable pressure. After last year not taking STers I'm happy to have landed Hot Rod and Charlton two guys I think can possibly be long term solutions at kicker and punter. I'm not demanding excellence, I just want NFL talent there. My expectations are about 6 to 8 wins with our WRs and DBs being the biggest issues. I hope for a break out from either group, but overall very excited for the future of the team especially with the foundations laid in the trenches and a franchise QB on board, just have to shed a few more of those starter expansion contracts this next year and the team should really take shape.

Trojan Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 If anyone could give me feedback on roughly where they would think my team would be picking in the upcoming draft that would be much appreciated. With Tent Brown missing a lot of time, Josh Jones will have been the other tackle with Jack Conklin. With Bosa's injury Shaq Barrett and Yetur Gross Matos are the primary edges with Zach Allen and AJ Epenesa rotating as base ends and three techniques with Lawrence and Willis as nose. Tanoh gets rotation work at every position. Chase Hansen is the reserve 4th Safety. Bewteen my corners and receivers and having a rookie QB, I think there is argument for top 3 draft selection. On the other hand I think the OL, DL and run game are closer to league average and the rookie QB has limited interceptions and played winning football so I dunno. Any feedback (especially guess as to roughly where this team would be picking) is welcome as I'd like to start preparing a little bit for the draft and FA.

jrry32 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I think you'd be picking in the top 3. Tua probably wouldn't be ready to start immediately. You'd be forced to play Rypien for at least part of the year. I don't see him winning many games. Your WR group is lacking. Your OL could probably be a serviceable unit. Your HB group is average to below average at best. And with Bosa out, your defense would likely be bottom 10. As far as I can see it, your offense and defense would both be bottom 10 units. Your team is making progress, but it's hard to build from scratch. I'd say the #3 pick seems reasonable.

EirePacker Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'd say the 2nd pick @Trojan Tua probably starts slow and with a below average WR corps teams would load the box making your run game ineffective. Josh jones was also injured the first 3 or 4 weeks which would have put tua scrambling. Your D has some nice pieces but the secondary probably gets picked apart by smart qbs. If tua takes a step foward next year and you get him some weapons, you have the makings of a solid roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally the Oakland Renegades are trading the 2nd selection of the 2021 NFL (1.002) draft to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for the 8th (1.008), and 39th (2.039) picks of the 2021 NFL draft as well as a 2022 2nd round pick that conditionally becomes a 2022 1st round pick if the Panthers advance past the Wildcard round of the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) With the NFL Draft two weeks away, I figured I'd make a mock post for a rough outline of what I'm thinking I'd like to do over draft weekend. Draft Pick 1.008 Patrick Surtain Jr., CB Alabama Draft Pick 2.034 Tyson Campbell, CB Georgia Draft Pick 2.039 Javonte Williams, RB North Carolina Draft Pick 3.066 Alim McNeil, NT NC State Draft Pick 4.107 Hunter Long, TE Boston College Draft Pick 5.146 Shaka Toney, SLB/DE Penn State Draft Pick 6.185 Jaylon Moore, OG/OT Western Michigan Draft Pick 7.230 Quinton Bohanna, NT Kentucky Base End || 5Tech AJ Epenesa Henry Anderson Nose Tackle || 1Tech Rashard Lawrence Quinton Bohanna Under Tackle || 3Tech Alim McNeil Zach Allen Edge Rusher || 9 Tech Nick Bosa Yetur Gross Matos SLB / Edge Shaq Barrett Shaka Toney Duke Ejiofor MLB Kevin Pierre-Louis Kamu Grugger-Hill WLB Corey Littleton Mack Wilson Chase Hansen CB Patrick Surtain AJ Green CB Ahkello Witherspoon Tyson Campbell Nickel Desmond King Amik Robertson FS John Johnson III Jaquan Johnson SS Deshon Elliott Lamar Jackson P Joseph Charlton K Rodrigo Blankenship LS Morgan Cox QB Tua Tagovailoa Brett Rypien RB Javonte Williams Jamaal Williams Eno Benjamin FB Alec Ingold WR Corey Davis Kelvin Harmon Anthony Johnson WR Will Fuller Donovan Peoples-Jones Slot Jamison Crowder Quintez Cephus TE Eric Ebron Hunter Long Hunter Bryant LT Josh Jones LG Dalton Risner C Lloyd Cushenberry Scott Quessenberry RG Ben Bredeson Jaylon Moore RT Jack Conklin Trey Adams With the first round the options I've played with most are Penei Sewell (mostly before I decided to trade down), then Patrick Surtain, Christian Darrisaw, Kyle Pitts and before the back injury Caleb Farley. I think, at this point and it's getting close to draft day, that I will maintain this order: 1. Penei Sewell 2. Patrick Surtain 3. Christian Darrisaw 4. Kyle Pitts 5. Trade down and target Farley or whatever I feel like is BPA at that point. With that in mind, I am pretty confident I will be able to secure Patrick Surtain. If Sewell and Darrisaw are there at 8, I might consider Pitts and free lance the draft ready to trade up when OT start moving. After selecting Patrick Surtain, for my next three picks I would love to land the trio of Alim McNeill, Javonte Williams and Tyson Campbell. That said I haven't yet decided what order would be the most wise to select them in. Javonte Williams I won't select first of the three because of the likely presense of Najee Harris and Travis Etienne on board, so it becomes Alim v. Tyson. I feel like if someone like Christian Barmore is still available at the top of the second and a CB snuck into the first unexpectantly (CB4 after Surtain, Horn and Farley), then Campbell is the pick. Campbell and Surtain played together in high school which I thought was a neat little tidbit I came across while researching them, and would again be projected co-starters on their rookie deals as Ahkello is signed for just one year and even then is up and down so I would expect Campbell to start multiple games as a rookie or at least rotate in when it's not clicking for Witherspoon. Then between the selection at 34 and 39, I feel like the trigger will be if a RB goes or not. If no RB goes in picks 35 - 38, I might select Alim McNeill there and then be itching for a trade up to select Javonte Williams should Travis Etienne and or Najee Harris go. Javonte Williams is the one I want, but if he goes above the other two and I'm waiting until the third and still land one so be it. Javonte is my favorite though and I would be comfortable at 39, even with the entire class available. McNeill I feel like has the best odds of being on board at 66 just off positional value of nose tackles and even if a team wants a NT -- they might want one of the ultra-large ones, additionally we have Rashard Lawrence so we aren't burned if sniped. Hunter Long reminds me of a budget version of Kyle Rudolph, but I might be off base on it. I forget who it was against, but I think it was North Carolina and he had some drops so I would expect him to be available, but he seemed like although not athletic that he found spots and got in position. I like that he holds up okay in blocking though and that he and Hunter Bryant could develop into a complimentary pair for low investment. That said no tears lost if I don't land him and I might be using this pick to move up from 66 to land the last of my trio if need be (which would draft value chart give me movement to about 56th overall), or there could be a LT prospect available to develop behind Josh Jones in a deep class. At 156 I like Shaka Toney as a new reserve to Shaq Barrett. I knew who he was from when I took Yetur Gross-Matos, but watching his interviews he is a blow you away high character guy it seems like and the jumping numbers he put up in his proday imply explosion, and his Senior Bowl practices dropped him into coverage a couple reps and he worked out well enough. I think his frame will work much better in that role as well and with Shaq's presence he will have time to develop in the position change. Potentially he could earn some reps at the LEO position as well. If he is gone I might go for Jamie Newman to become my new QB2, but I'd like to give Brett Rypien another year especially given Tua's contract would expire the same year as Jamie Newman's if I drafted one after the other. I like Newman though, so if Shaka isn't there I might go for it eventhough it'd likely be carrying 3QBs instead of a more useful position that could contribute on ST. Jaylon Moore I like his tools and think he needs to develop more. His movement skills are much better than Ben Bredeson who we have right now, and would have some chance of flexing out to LT should our last years 3rd round pick get hurt. I think in a year or two Moore will be a pretty good pulling guard though which would be great to land in the 6th. To round it out I like Quinton Bohanna as just a massive nose that has some kind of unique quicks. Alim and Quinton would be like 680 pounds of defensive tackle that have some explosion and push in goal line type scenarios. I wouldn't expect more than a handful of snaps a game for Quinton Bohanna, but I would expect some game changing impacts in those snaps. I came across him watching for Jamin Davis and the big 95 just did some things -- then when he didn't I would rewind and notice he was subbed out for another nose. When he was in it was noticable to me and I'd like that addition. Edited April 12, 2021 by Trojan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
