KT's Mid-Season Mock Offseason

[KamTrus20]

GM :: Tom Heckart
-Hopefully Jimmy Haslam and Joe Banner are as smart as everyone says and if they are they will keep Heckart around.

Head Coach :: Josh McDaniels-He got too far too fast with too much power at too young. The 2nd time around he will be answering to a GM rather than calling the shots. Every where he goes the passing game gets better. It didn't improve as much as they would have liked but the talent there was a joke last year. Josh McDaniels can make Josh Gordon a Top 3 receiving threat in this league with the arm talent of Brandon Weeden.

Offensive Co-ordinator :: Kevin Gilbride Jr.
-WR coach in New York and one the the coaches responsible for the rise of Victor Cruz. His dad has been succesfull almost every where he has gone and I'm sure he can pass on good input for his son.

Defensive Co-ordinator :: Ken Norton Jr.
-Has been attached to Pete Carroll's hip for years. He has coached up some of the best linebackers to come into the NFL the last 6-7 years and has done a phenominal job in 2 years at Seattle with K.J. Wright and now Bobby Wagner. He has to step out from under Carroll's wing at some point if he wants to further his career.

Free Agents ::
Sheldon Brown - Walk
Joshua Cribbs - Walk
Scott Fujita - Walk
Reggie Hodges - Walk
Brandon Jackson - Walk
Kaluka Maiava - Walk
Mohamed Massaqoui - Walk
Ray Ventrone - Walk
Ben Watson - Walk
Phil Dawson - 3 years
Juqua Parker - 1 year
Alex Smith - 1 year
Christian Young - Tender
Emmanuel Stephens - Tender
Craig Robertson - Tender
Chris Ogbonnaya - Tender

Signings ::
Louis Delmas FS
-The kid has all star ability. He is a bit injured this year and it shows whenhe is out for Detroit. If they had any kind of talent around him he would be a force. In Cleveland hopefully they can add that kind of supporting cast. Below is a link which leads me to believe there is more than a great chance he hits the open market because Detroit has no cap room to even afford a tag.

Guards? Minus that its pretty solid not a big fan of Cary Williams signing to be #2 corner as well. Delmas is a good signing

There are better DE's than Jordan available.

No thanks to Josh McDaniels. There's so many better options out there.

I think the Browns should resign Sheldon Brown. They need a veteran in the secondary and Brown is better than most give him credit for. I'd also like Massaquoi to be resigned to a one-year deal.

I'd love to sign Delmas. I think the Lions will find a way to retain him, though.

Two tight ends in the draft? I don't think so. The Browns have Jordan Cameron who has a lot of potential. It won't hurt to add another tight end since many teams are utilizing two tight ends in their offense, but the Browns don't need to draft two.

I also think the Browns need to address the guard position. If Greco keeps playing at a decent level, then they'll only need one unless Lauvao plays like he did vs. the Chargers the rest of the season.

Kiltman on the great sig!

Overall i like it. Josh mcdaniels is a interesting choice at hc. I think with a good front office in place he could be a very good head coach. The guy clearly has a great offensive mind and i think he would help this young group we have grow. I know he had his ups and downs in denver but i think that will only help him if/when he gets another shot. If we go the former hc route he would be on my short list of guys to take a look at.

I like the delmas signing and i love the jordan pick. He's raw but seems to have a lot of upside. Seeing as how the top of the draft class isn't looking great i wouldn't mind rolling the dice with jordan. I would still like to add a guard somewhere here but overall i like this mock.

THis is pretty interesting. I was just thinking of multiple TE signings. Don't know if we need to draft 2. I like the idea of low ceiling ready to play guy personally. We have a guy in the making already in Cameron. I'd sort of prefer 1 draft and 1 signing, but I suppose Alex Smith can stay on as the blocker or #3 option. Smelley is also a candidate, but I see you have him at FB. I'm guessing a better FB than Maerecic might be something they can find in free agency.. heck, it was kind of interesting when they put Ogbanya in the backfield with Trich one or two plays against San Diego (watch for that). I'm not sure how big he is, but I think he was a FB at Texas so he might know how to block.

I like DE or LB in the first round. If we can trade down and get a second it would be awesome to fill both positions. I hope we target a young #2 corner in FA so good call there.

I think I have a good question though. A lot of people and players know that McDaniels has improved passing games. Do you think between this season and what everyone knows about him, he might be able to draw the interest of someone like Dwayne Bowe (who is probably going to be looking for a winner)? The McDaniels idea might be something seriously worth considering... especially if talent is interested afterward.

Josh McDaniels is going to coach like Bill B after he had so so results with our Browns & then became DC with Parcells again. Coach McDaniels is my favorite young coach in the entire NFL.

I love Gilbride as OC but he would not leave to take a lateral position in a lower market
