Offseason Mock

[JDSTAR]

Resign:
Mo Claiborne, CB
Terrell McClain, DT
Justin Durant, LB
Darren McFadden, RB

Sign:
Ricky Wagner, RT - In a weak OL draft, this is my priority #1
Demarcus Ware, DE - Beautiful story if he gets another 2 productive years with us
Josh McCown, QB -
Justin Gilbert, CB/FS - Maybe.....Not a big fan, but wouldn't hurt to take a look.

TRADE:: Trade Tony Romo, Tyrone Crawford and 2018 2nd Round pick for Emmanuel Ogbah (DE) and 2017 5th.
*Browns get their QB, trade DE's, get a future pick and retain their two first round picks; we get our RE and a low end pick, but keep the rest of our 2017 draft to improve the Defense without pushing for an edge.


1) Hassan Reddick, SS/LB/Edge - Here's a thought; can Reddick take over the job of Church? Multiple TE's, we have Reddick and Jones to cover. 3 or 4 WR sets, we put him down as a cover LB or an EDGE and get a speedier DB to cover deep. I could be missing this completely; He's not my #1 for me personally (that would be Derek Barnett or Malik McDowell, both of which I think will be long gone), but he's so athletic and looks like a better football player than Peppers, IMO (comparing the two as both having the tweener tag)

(Trade 2 and 3 for an earlier 2)

2) Marlon Humphrey, CB Alabama - Reminds me of Byron Jones a little bit; If he slips to the second, I'd give up a 3rd for him.

*****NOTE: I'm a fan of Montravius Adams, DT from Auburn, but am fully aware thats not a position the Boys value,......, but, if Adams were to find a way onto this team, it would make this fan one happy camper.

4) Shelton Gibson, WR WVU - Speedy #2

5) CLE - Javancy Jones, OLB Jackson State - I know the article came out that said McClay is not a small school guy, but this has been my pet cat for awhile now. SLB and maybe another RUSHMEN. Played in college mostly with his hand in the dirt, but did very well as an OLB at the Senior Bowl.

6) Aaron Jones, RB UTEP - Someone put his name out here about a week ago and I have become a big fan since then. Just looking at his tape, I think he deserves to go before this, but I don't see reason why to invest in RB any earlier. Would love him on the team, though.

7) Isaac Rochelle, DT Notre Dame - Big Body, maybe a good rusher in the 1tech position, though probably better suited as a 3-4DE. Good player.

7) Breon Borders, CB/FS Duke - 2017 Anthony Brown.

UDFA-
Cornelius Henderson DT, Jackson State - 1Tech
Donald Payne S, Stetson
Zach Pascal WR, Old Dominion

Sorry, but there's just no way you can honestly think that trade makes any sense.

I understand where you're coming from, but let me ask you this; would you trade your 12th pick for a backup NE QB? Say you could get one of the elite Safeties, one of these WRs, the deep DL pool or the CBswith the 12th. Would you trade that pick for a backup that you've only seen play in 3 games and get injured in one of those. That's the rumor. Now, you've got Romo, you've got Crawford (obviously lesser value than Ogbah), youve got your 1st to pick up Garrett (better than Ogbah, right?) and you've got the 12th to further improve your team, AND a future 2nd. I'd personally take that over keeping your RE, drafting a once in a lifetime, gotta get DE that plays the same position and taking ANOTHER swing at an unproven rookie QB or a young, unproven backup using the 12th. I agree it may be a bit far fetched, but is it really?

 

[KingintheNorth]

Yeah, that trade isn't gonna happen...

 

[Killerinstinct]

Keep Durrant and Draft Reddick? How many linebackers do we need?

If you want Humphrey you'll be lucky to get him in the 1st at 28, much less in the 2nd.

Why would cle want to take Crawford with his lousy contract?

Romo would go to Cle rather than retire?

Just a few of the problems here.

1. The Browns aren't a QB away from being a super bowl team. They are square in the middle of rebuilding their entire roster, they arent trading for a 1, maybe 2, year QB rental now. Someone like Gorropolo they can build with, Romo will be gone by the time they assemble the right roster around him.

2. You're not thinking about dead $. If we trade both Romo and Crawford it would be damn near $30M in dead cap space. Probably not even possible to do and field a 53 man roster.

3. No one wants Crawford and his contract. He has negative value.

I like to see all drafts and appreciate zoners efforts.
My first objection sir is Cowboys owe too much to Romo and why would he agree. It's the killing fields for QB's.
Your resigns are odd to me. Justin Durant?
Carr is more dependable but I hate giving up on Mo and goes to a stellar career
Josh McDanials How Much?

Promise I'll let you guys tear up my draft after this, but I'd like to discuss some of the problems with this post.

LB - just takes Jaylon to be a no go or Lee to miss time for us to be playing a lot of Hitchens.

Humphrey has been thrown around from the top 10 to the 3rd round depending on where you're looking. He has great size for a corner but is flawed in deep coverage. With Lattimore, Conley, Wilson, Tabor, Tankersley and whoever else I'm missing, I don't think it's too far fetched for one of them to drop to the top or middle 2nd, unless you got some insider info that I don't.

Crawford I can agree with.

Yea, I do think Romo would rather go to Cleveland than retire. I'd like to consider him a competitor; has he ever shown you any different?

 

[reddyuta]

Durant is done ,he is retiring and frankly i dont want him back.

You want use your 1st rd draft pick to take a LB in case Lee or Jaylon are injured? Even though we have Wilson, Hitchens, and Nacho plus you are wanting to bring back Durrant?

After the combine no one will have humphrey outside of the 1st rd. He might leap lattimore as the No 1 CB.

Romo may be a competitor but I doubt he would go to Cle. I seriously doubt.
