TJM Mock Offseason

[TJM217]

Hey guys, Ive decide to do a weekly mock offseason with FA and draft. Critiques are welcome. This is what I would if I were GM. I assumed the cap will be 185M which would mean we start of 7M over the cap. (So a lot of money needed to be saved and free agent's market value is lowered). If you have any question like who was available at certain pick in the draft I can look it up. This first mock I went with safer prospects.

Draft results

30. Joseph Ossai Edge Texas-Well rounded edge prospect that is solid in run defense and as a pass rusher. Has experience in pass coverage from the LB position. Great motor. Only 1 year as a full time pass rusher.

 

53. Levi Onwuzurike DT Washington- Decent size, plays with great leverage and motor. Good athleticism. Relative safe prospect

 

61. Aaron Robinson CB UCF- Willing tackler and comfortable in the slot. Good size at 5-11 198lbs. Plays zone and man coverage. Bit of a jack of all trades master of none. Good but not great athlete. 

 

85. Brevin Jordan TE Miami- BPA by far. Nuclear athlete for a TE. Can line up in the slot, H back, in-line. Used on screens, deep route or slants. Miami made it a point to get him the ball. Average size for a TE, Average blocker, average hands. Very similar to Jonnu but with better agility.

 

137. D’Ante Smith T/OG East Carolina- Good mobility for a tackle, lean, has good hand usage. Senior bowl came in at 6’5’’ 294lbs 35.3’’ arms and 10’’ hands. Played last year in the 270s-280s but beefed up for the senior bowl. Not the strongest and is limited to ZBS. Project who will need to sit for at least a year.

 

143. Caden Sterns S Texas- Above average athlete that can play both man and zone (halfs or single). Good route recognition. Not the best size and limits his tackling ability. 

 

153. Dazz Newsome WR UNC- Highly productive in 4 years at UNC. Good quickness, great route running. Mainly played in the slot. Great hands and ball skills. Can play ST as a returner

 

164. Chauncey Golston edge Iowa- Huge size. Measured at 6’4 268 lbs Arm 33 ¾’’ hands 11’’. Plays stronger than suggested with good bull rush. At Iowa played OLB, DE and DT can line up in multiple places in the Titans defense. Not very flexible around the edge or good sideline to sideline speed. Makes a great back up to the Jadeveon Clowney/Elephant role

 

191. Cam Sample DT Tulane-Decent size and has played DT and DE. Good motor and good athlete. Tore up the senior bowl. Better acceleration than long speed. Coming from a small school.

 

194. Derrick Barnes LB Purdue- Typical 3-4 thumper at ILB. Has some experience at DE rushing the passer. 7.5 sack in 2018. Good accelerating and hand usage. Short and not a lot of length to get off blocks. How well does he play in coverage?

[TJM217]

Second rendition of a mock off season. This time in the draft I focused on potential and going for high risk high reward players. This isnt my favorite draft. I wish I could have draft at least one offensive lineman but the board didnt fall that way. This is one of the most athletic drafts you will see.

Both mocks are pretty good. Only complaint I have is not improving the depth the OL. I know we have a ton of needs and that loser Wilson is holding a lot of things up but our depth has been trash for a while now especially the interior. Brevin Jordan is a great player but he’s made of glass. Followed him since high school when he was a 5* prospect from Vegas. Always compared him to Delanie Walker. Not a giant 6’6 TE but wasn’t afraid to block and is a damn good athlete. I have no issue taking him in the 3rd especially if we let Jonnu go but I think Robinson will try to go with the safest draft possible this year especially after that massive failure last year. That likely means no character concerns, kids who have played a ton with a limited amount of injuries, and very productive players. That to me might take players like Jordan out of the equation. Overall these are two pretty good mocks. I probably like the 2nd one better although I think you’re underselling the amount the FAs will want.

Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the O line depth. I think it's a sneaky need that alot of people aren't paying attention to because our defense was so bad. Our OL will be ancient in about 1-2 seasons. 

Yeah I'm not sure how to mock the FA signings. Usually I go to sportrac and whatever there estimate is I take off ~1 million. I would think in a down market free agents have to take less money. 

In the mocks I usually do what I would do, I'm not as risk adverse as most people are. I think for my next one I'll do what I think JRob would do.
