I will beat the offer (our picks are earlier) the Browns made (5th + 6th -> Cooper + 6th).

@jrry32 Do you think I would be able to do pick 112 (4th round) instead of the 5th and include La'el Collins as well as Cooper? I am interested in the pair and was waiting to see if Collins was traded in a manner that I could just do two independent trades, but from what I see on Twitter the Cowboys are likely to release him instead of trade. I want his contract, but I don't know if it's cheaper for the Cowboys to release him than to trade and therefore wouldn't just include him as a throw in type. I think the "cheaper to release" talk is a June-1st designation, but on overthecap I see an option called June 1st trade? Is that something I can do?

edit: also while I tagged you I noticed you called your team the Gunslingers in a fairly recent post, just curious if you are doing a name change or just a nickname for the Stallions players but didn't want to off topic post in your thread.

edit2: I think it's reasonable and I'm going to do it. I'm going to pick swap my 5th for theirs so that it's a little better for them. So to make it a second trade:
Cowboys send: La'el Collins + 5.155
Renegades send: 4.112


edit3: Quite a bit of news that La'el Collins is not going to be cut now, and the Patriots and other teams are offering multiple different packages for him. I'm going to revert to just the Amari deal for now.

 

edit4: so he was released, lol. I’m going back to the Collins + 5.155-> 4.112

I'd say just do what you think is fair, and if Collins is later traded for more, adjust your trade at that time. No, the Gunslinger were my old sim. I had a brain fart.

I figured I'll make a thought process post as well and edit it as I go.

Blog entry 1: Initial plan was Sauce Gardner at 7, and Derek Stingley at 8. When Stingley went 3rd, I moved Ikem Ekwonu as my choice at 8. Sauce went 4th, and my plan altered to Ikem at 7 and Kyle Hamilton at 8. Ikem went 6th and I had Kyle Hamilton at 7 and wait to see if I could match a trade down while OTC. I waited as the 8th, 9th and 10th picks rolled off the board and was targeting either Devin Lloyd or Trent McDuffie. I was going to select Devin Lloyd when I saw the Saints trading up to 11 and accepted the same deal for pick 8. I was now on the board for 16 with my two choices of McDuffie and Lloyd. As the picks crept I decided on McDuffie as I was more confident either Lloyd or Dean would make it to one of my second round picks than I was of a CB1 like McDuffie, Elam, Gordon or Booth. I need both a CB1 and another potential CB2 to take over for Steven Nelson potentially and Lloyd is a bit older of a prospect for an additional tie breaker. I had Lloyd as a 90 grade initially and McDuffie as an 88, so the grades were close. Now that I landed McDuffie I'm less knocking McCreary for his arm length as I was in my initial grades and McCreary has drastically risen on my board (about 10 points ~83). I'm very excited for day 2.

Blog entry 2: Was looking hard at McCreary as mentioned in my previous blog, and with him going off the board I traded 38 for 43 and 114 when I entered the clock, and Gordon was my clear next CB with Booth slightly behind him but with injury questions. Pairing both Washington CBs in Oakland. Booth remains on the board for future picks, but the injury concerns drop him although I feel this is his healthy range. Nakobe Dean is my top target upcoming, but felt comfortable with the slight trade back given reports of injury concerns and being a LB. Some depth at LB too if I get sniped.

Blog entry 3: Andrew Booth goes 42, very happy to have gone with Gordon at 39 almost got locked out of my CB2 which was a high priority to me. Very happy to land Nakobe Dean. Loved both Devin Lloyd and Dean and was impressed with each of them off the field and their leadership abilities, getting one at value is absolutely ideal. I was willing to roll with another linebacker in the 3rd or 4th, but I really wanted one of the two I viewed as exceptional people and leaders in the second. Identity builder.

Blog entry 4: On the wait to 72, I did not expect Travis Jones to still be there. Between Alim and Travis it's going to be a lot of blockers occupied for our linebackers to operate. I was initially going to target TE here, but with my collection of 4th rounders I'm going BPA once again.

Blog entry 5: I'm up at 98 and had a little moment of disappointment when I saw the Colts move up, then they didn't take him. I want Howell. I had DeMarvin Leal written up for 98, who is not available after going to the Steelers in the 80s, and I'm moving Howell from the 4th where I had him only due to the QB slide to now. Love Howell and excited to add him to the QB room.

Blog entry 5: Cade Otton off the board at the start of the 4th and a guy I was targeting in this round. Was hoping for Otton at 111 and Kolar at 114. New plan is Kolar at 111 and Khalil Shakir at 114.

Blog entry 6: Torn between Jalyn Armour Davis and Zach Tom here upcoming at 120. edit: Oh Armour-Davis just went 119, that makes it easier.

Blog entry 7: I'm debating Matthew Butler who I really liked, but I feel like I had one DT slot and I took Travis Jones. I still might want Butler as a 3tech, but I have Kingsley Keke, Marvin Wilson, Zach Allen and my 5 techs Charles Omenihu and AJ Epenesa could get snaps there. It's a rough competition for roster spots for my big boys. Alim and Jones are my top two DTs though, but I'm still intrigued in what Butler would add. My other considerations are Justyn Ross who would add a lot of size to my WR group, but I have Amari, Davis, and Crowder with DPJ, Cephus and rookie Khalil Shakir. I think the slot Ross would battle for is Cephus'. Thomas Booker and Curtis Brooks are two more DTs I like behind Butler, but same issue of how many capable bodies under contract, that also makes three guys if all remain on board to maybe wait. Punter Matt Araiza is on my radar, but I also really like Ryan Stonehouse and I may just continue waiting it out until one of the two goes or pick 227 comes up. I'm still slightly intrigued by some TEs mainly James Mitchell and might gamble on Wydermeyer developing behind Kolar, but I feel like that's more a 201 thought. I'm mostly leaning towards Butler v. Mitchell v. Ross. Getting one of the athletic freaks with insane size at CB would be something too, but I'm happy with my CB group after adding McDuffie and Gordon. Kingsley Enagbare I like around here as well, but I have Yetur behind Bosa and I'm not really looking to hold a third behind them. edit: 4 picks out and I'm leaning towards Mitchell because I see a clear path to the 53 man roster.

Blog entry 8: I wrote: "Punter Matt Araiza is on my radar, but I also really like Ryan Stonehouse and I may just continue waiting it out until one of the two goes or pick 227 comes up." Well, Araiza went 180th, so at 201 I took Ryan Stonehouse. I have one more pick this year at 227 in the 7th, and Curtis Brooks, Justyn Ross, and Jalen Wydermeyer I mentioned in the previous post and as of right now at 201 are still available. I think I'd rank them Brooks, Ross and then Wydermeyer, but best chance to make the 53 man roster is the opposite order. Hopefully one or two (but not all three!) go off the board before 227 to make it easier. I liked Devin Harper as my sleeper 7th for a long time and thought Damone Clark's spine might make him available as well, but each of them is gone. Diesch and West OL from ASU would have been considered, but I addressed both T/C with Zach Tom in the 4th. Dontarrio Drummond the WR from Ole Miss might be my sleeper 7th at the moment.

2-4-5 Defense and why I'm excited

In the 2-4-5 defense I'm playing two down line men in Travis Jones and Alim McNeill who look to blow up the guard and dislodge either the center or tackle as well while collapsing the pocket, flanking them on the edges will be Nick Bosa out wide around the 9 tech and Shaquill Barrett who either attacks the edge or shoots a gap stunting with Alim or Travis. Operating in the middle are this year's and last years second round picks Nakobe Dean and Jeremiah Owusu Koramoah both of whom are wildly active with the ability to attack, play side line to sideline and drop into zones. Our boundary corners are McDuffie and either Steven Nelson or Kyler Gordon, and then John Johnson in at safety. Kyle Hamilton will play that STAR (LB/S hybrid) position or safety if a true nickle corner enters the game in Desmond King or Kyler Gordon. The third safety when Hamilton is at STAR is DeShon Elliott. The depth chart as laid out is our base 4-3 under, but we've moved on from former coach Kris Richard and with the hiring of our former DC Aaron Glenn we're including more multiple looks like the 2-4-5, which is our new base. The 4-3 Under will still have it's place in the playbook though. The 3-4 fronts we are excited about as well with guys like Omenihu, Keke, Lawrence, and Epenesa joining with Alim and Travis.

Offensively Tua enters his third year under Marcus Brady and the next step is expected at this point with the right side of the line retooled with James Daniels and La'el Collins, but also the major addition of Amari Cooper giving Tua a threatening weapon outside. The tight end group was hit up hard in the mid to late rounds and with Kolar, Mitchell and Wydermeyer hopefully Tua can utilize the position as it previously was near empty. Javonte looks to ascend as one of the top backs in league with the offensive line additions and the upgraded threats to go both vertical and horizontal in the passing game to reduce the boxes he faces. Should Tua get injured, which is our primary threat to potential playoff hopes imo, we've drafted Sam Howell who we considered a first round prospect talent wise, but ideally would develop behind an incumbent. Sam Howell isn't competing to start this year, but should he impress has the opportunity to eventually potentially -- especially if Tua doesn't stay healthy as the pride of this team is it's defense and run game and investing major QB dollars if injuries are an issue could close playoff windows. Reducing turnovers, strong run game, and elite defense is our gameplan and Tua is pretty good at mitigating turnovers and playing winning football. He's still very much our leader and we are happy with him. Sam Howell enters the team with the goal of mastering the NFL offense and with time becoming comfortable in the offense and not forcing things as he makes reads. His potential in arm talent and his, along with many others in the draft class, film study habbits have the Renegades looking up.
