Mock offseason 1-20

Key FA (re)signings:
SDE Pernell Mcphee
LB Justin Durant
WR Dez Bryant

Rd1- MLB Benardrick McKinney
Rd2- FS Derron Smith
Rd3- DL Preston Smith SDE-3T rotation

Rd4- CB Ladarius Gunter
Rd5- WDE Deion Barnes
Rd7- RB Josh Robinson
Rd7- RT Robert Myers

Dline
SDE-McPhee-Smith
WDE-Lawrence-Mincey-Barnes
DTs-McClain-Brent-Crawford-Bishop

LBs-Lee-Durant-Hitchens-McKinney

CB's-Scandrick-Mo-Moore-Patmon/Gunter

S's- Smith-Wilcox-Church

The offseason mock solely focuses on the defense. We add 3 DE's, LB, CB and FS on the defensive side. Adding McPhee on the strongside makes us less desperate come draft day and we can focus on BPA.

You list Dez (offense) but leave out RT, RB, etc..

I like the McPhee signing but have concerns about Benardrick McKinney. I need to watch more game footage, but the scouting reports list pass coverage as a possible issue. If I draft a 4-3 LB in the 1st, then I want a guy that is super-duper in pass coverage.

I like the McPhee signing. He has experience playing 3-4 OLB, 4-3 DE and 4-3 DT. I would really like him inside with Crawford in 2015.

Yeah, I left out Parnell who I believe will be the starter at RT in 15. As far as RB goes we have 3 under contract for next season and maybe Robinson battles for that 3rd spot.

Drafting someone like Smith pretty much gives the same thing as far as being abme to slide in to the DT spot on occassion.

he stands out in the bull dog games i have seen but he looks like Mclain lite and thats not a good thing in terms of coverage.He looks good against the run but kind of stiff.

thats a terrible offseason, who is playing RT, I think we should let Free limp away and resign Parnell to a 2 year deal but then we need to draft a guy early.

think we need to keep 2 of the 3 LBs. I'm actually rather resign Carter now than mcClain. His concussion issues scares me.

What about RB?

If your going to draft a a CB in the 4th then you better bring in someone else or keep Carr. Reling on Mo, Moore and Patmon to start would be awful.

I like your draft picks, I think Smith will rise.

Also you should look at signing Paea for the 1 tech. He's a Marinelli guy.

I addressed the RT spot in my response to X . I was really focused in on our defense.

We have 3 RBs under contract for 15. Drafting Robinson will create more competition for the 3rd spot.

Scandrick and Moore were very reliable this season and I expect Patmon to improve from his rookie season. Claiborne may end up 4th on the depth chart if he doesn't step up and Gunter may very well end up pushing for that spot.

Paea doesn't impress me. I can see him being mauled on the run defense.

we have 3 Rbs but not worthy of being a every down back. Adding a RB from Nothern Iowa doesnt make me feel any better. Sorry.
Moore is not starting caliper, the guy was just as bad as Carr but not talked about because he doesn't have the money and doesn't play as many snaps. Having those guys as my CB corp scares me too.

Isn't Robinson from Miss St??

Moore can contribute just fine. He was in on plenty of snaps with Scan, Carr and Patmon. In my mock Carr is being replaced by Mo.

yeah gut mxed up thinking david johnson.
You RBs still don;t make me ready for the season
Mo cant replace Carr, he was the 3 behind carr. moore is not a starter. Imagine him on nelson or other top wrs. my god we will get killed.

after your offseason IMO we still need a starting RB, CB, and RT.

RT Parnell
CB Scandrick-Moore-Mo-Patmon-Gunter
RB-Randle-Williams-Dunbar/Robinson

Wasn't Moore playing almost all season? Mo and Moore get the oustide WR and Scandrick can get back into the slot. CB's weren't as a big of an issue. Our pass rush hurt us on pass defense. With shoring up the ends with three players I mentioned will aleviate pressure from the CB's.

I would be ok with the platoon of CB's we have with an improved pass rush.

yeah when they switched to nickel, thats different than playing every snap. Mo and Moore had thier issues to. They are fine as a 3 but not a starting 2.

I would be worried going into the season with that RB and CB group and parnell as the RT without a back up. We may need to draft a RT early and let best man win it out.

The RB group will be fine. We can platoon those guys and finally maximize Randle-Dunbar(if he beats out Robinson).

Parnell will be fine at the RT spot. Like Free he has his moments but I'd take Parnell over him moving forward.

As far as CBs go we can get a better sense of where those guys stand when they aren't having to cover 5+ seconds.

I disagree on all those. Also we don't even know if MO is going to be healthy bby the start of the season. It takes along time to recover form a pattela tendon

That's fine.

You'd still have Scandrick, Moore and Patmon in the mix with Gunter getting a shot.

Agree to disagree.

Disagree. That does nothing for me. I still need someone else. Either draft a guy that can be a starter or sign some e or keep carr. But your 4 doesn't help me.

What makes you think Gunter couldn't start? Or Patmon for that matter. We have 3 CBs playoff tested and Mo and Gunter as well. You can focus all the attention on the DBs but my mock focuses heavily on gaining 3 pass rushers on top of Lawrence getting a full TC in, a LB, CB and a FS. Overall it improves the defense with not having to break the bank so it helps me alot.

Because I've seen Gunter pkay. I don't thin he is a day one starting cb.

Broaddus has said he talked to coaches and think patmon is far off from being a 3. Says he's a dime 4.
Moore is a 3 and on the out side 3. We need a true 2 atleast if your replacing carr. You have to sst least bring in a vet. I just can't relief on Moore, Patmon, and a 4th round rookie and Mo. Mo wasn't even a top 2 starter last year healthy.

So Carr was a true 2??
