BZski Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 First and foremost extend Stafford to gain cap space. Cuts: Justin Coleman Desmond Trufant Jesse James Christian Jones Danny Shelton Trades: Kenny G transition tag and traded for a 3rd rd pick. DShawn Hand traded for WR Andy Isabella. This adds speed to our WR corps and Isabella is vastly underused in ARI. FA: Cap space of about $30 mil: WR- Corey Davis- Came on strong this season. He will replace Kenny G at a lower cost. WR- Josh Reynolds- the Holmes connection and LA Rams drafted Van Jefferson to make him expendable. Good slot WR for us. LB- Alex Anzalone- fast LB that is ready to start. Has the NO connection with Campbell. FS- Marcus Williams- Walker and Harris are probably not starting quality and Williams is a solid FS. DT- Solomon Thomas- coming off injury but started showing signs of being worth the #3 pick before he got injured. Perfect gamble FA. CB- Akello Witherspoon- tall outside CB that can battle for the starting job or be good depth for injuries if not. CB- Desmond King- strictly a NB but the guy just seems to make plays. We need that. Draft: 1- MLB- Micah Parsons- difference maker! Tone setter for the middle of our D. 2- DT- Daviyon Nixon- this guy is becoming my favorite player in the draft. Love the way he plays! Can pressure from inside. 3- S- Paris Ford- excellent playmaker for the S spot. Another big hitter playmaker. 4- LB- Pete Werner- our LBs are atrocious so adding more speed. 5- CB- Ambry Thomas- sat out the year but has man to man coverage skills and has NB potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Don't mind the picks or the cuts. I don’t think Arizona would do that trade, and if you're gonna keep Stafford and tag Golladay then you should keep him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to find a way to get Isabella since his draft year. Maybe wishful thinking but they never use him it seems. I wouldn’t mind keeping Kenny G if the price is right but there are a lot of good FA WRs that I think will be cheaper than Kenny G. Davis, Juju, ARob, Chris Godwin, Curtis Samuel, Will Fuller are all FAs and all won’t get the $18 mil a year Kenny G reportedly wants. I wouldn’t pay Kenny G over $12 honestly.

Just Want A Title Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I love the addition of Andy Isabella. I agree with you. He is under-used and under-rated. As far as other WRs we bring in, I think Rashard Higgins or a trade for Michael Gallup would be better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I really like this. Wouldn't mind adding another DE, especially if we don't keep Okwara and trade Hand. But like adding Thomas and Nixon to the interior of our D line. You have added talent to each level of the D and the revamped WR core is solid even if it is a slight downgrade from where we are now.

I forgot to use the other 3rd pick for Kenny G in this mock so maybe a DE there. But I think they give Austin Bryant and Julian Okwara DE reps opposite Flowers plus Thomas can play the big DE role as well as he has position versatility.

Or maybe a cheap vet like Ryan Kerrigan as a pass rush specialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardlionfan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I really like it. Especially moving Golladay. I would like the Lions to keep him but don’t think he’s worth tag money. He’s great at what he does (contested catches) but he doesn’t get separation. I think they can improve the WR room by looking elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra 3rd would be helpful here. And/or signing Kerrigan. Just need something else there IMO. I like Bryant and Julian but they are extremely unknowns at this point.

And in my comments above I said a downgrade from what we have now but thats only if KG is healthy, which he wasn't and we still could throw the ball this year. I like KG but just seems like so many better ways to spend the money, even though I hate letting go of one of the few we have developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty deep FA WR class as well. Edited January 19, 2021 by BZski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only WR I would consider taking at 7 is Chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyguy1609 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 i dont mind it, think Davis is going costs almost as much as Kenny G though esp after the yr he had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think Daviyon Nixon could be a really good player but he won't make it to the second round. He and Christian Barmore seem to be the only DTs with top 15 grades. In fact, they might be the only DT with first-round grades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
