jleisher Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We are expecting 8-11" of snow today into tomorrow morning. Great day for a mock. I am going to do this a little different this time. I used Fanspeak.com GM simulator for cap space issues, trades, cuts and signings. After calculating position groups PFF, this is my team needs rankings. #1. OL (C/RG) #2. TE #3. S #4. CB #5. ILB #6. NT #7. RB #8. Edge #9. QB and #10. WR. Here's my goals with this mock and offseason moves. #1. Rebuild DB #2. Rebuild Run Defense #3. Strengthen PFF at C and RG #4. RB Depth. As for coaching changes, I am going to hold off on that with this mock. 2024 Cap Space: $6,877, 253. (Packers need to free up cap space.) Trades: David Bakhtiari LT to Bills for pick #152 and 2025 4th rd pick. Cap is at $31,877,252. Kingsley Enagbare Edge, Eric Stokes CB and pick #92 to Arizona for Budda Baker S. Cap is at $18,467,373. De'Vondre Campbell ILB to Dolphins for 2024 3rd rd pick. Cap is at $32,874,373 Jaire Alexander CB to Colts for Jonathan Taylor and pick #117. Cap is at $54,747,278. Released (Cuts): Aaron Jones RB (Post Jun 1st.) $11.5m. Cap is now at $66,247,278. Josh Myers C/G cap saved $1,420,929. Royce Newman T/G cap saved $963,155. Sean Rhyan G cap saved $1,055,000.

Harrison Bryant TE 1yr. $4m, cap hit $4m. 2024 cap space: $16,052,109 - $36,052,109. ($20m NFL cap increase.) 2024 Draft: #19. Packers select: Cooper DeJean DB/RS Iowa. Packers see him as Nixons replacement and will take over on Punt returns. #41. Packers select: Tyler Nubin S Minnesota. Best Safety in the draft, IMO. #51. Packers select: T'Vondre Sweat NT Texas.

OzPackfan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I still don’t understand that no matter how many times people say that there is no cap space being gained by trading Jaire, every mock still has you showing cap savings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Please learn the salary cap or just post mocks with draft picks only. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReasonablySober Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Is there another Jaylon Johnson with that same head shot that I'm not aware of? One who isn't the best CB in football and can be signed for that contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Like the early picks, but would have liked a center, running back and linebacker, before the end of the 3 round. If that takes one less DB and one less OT, so be it (you have a couple of each). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This is the best draft of all time. I think a couple more Mizzou guys can be added though. I might be biased. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packer_ESP Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I used to think he was just doing his best and doing something he enjoyed but this must be the most elaborate troll ever. There's close to zero correct cap calculations in any of these mocks and he just won't take any advice on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spilltray Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The part that was just too much for me is cutting guys like Meyers and Rhyan. You don't get savings over replacement cutting rookie contracts. That would be fireable level mismanagement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just doesn't want to learn anything about roster building or the cap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieHigh Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) This is the "whose line is it anyway" of mock drafts. The points dont matter, he is having a good time for your entertainment Edited January 10 by HokieHigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleed G&G Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Again, thank you for putting the time into a mock. I always enjoy reading mock drafts and seeing different names. Right now no one really knows where anyone is going so I like to read about different people. With that being said about not knowing players, we do know the cap numbers. If you go to a website like overthecap.com and click on the Packers it will tell you in the far right column what you would save or loss by cutting a player. It's not just about their cap hit this year, it's mostly about the guaranteed money left on their contract that the Packers would owe them when they are cut or traded. Like Jaire is 24 mil again the cap, but has 27 mil left in guaranteed money so it will cost the Packers 3 million to cut or trade him. Aaron Jones would only free up 4.8 million, so resigning him for 5 million you are actually losing money. Cutting Campbell only frees up 2.7 million of his 14.4 million cap hit. Love a mock, but being of by 50 million in free agency will change how you draft. Would love to see more from you, just look at overthecap.com and your numbers will be a lot closer!
