offseason 2013 mock

[bigmark76]

so I think we have all have turned our attention to next offseason which will be a very interesting one especially with what we end up doing with our free agents, currently we are estimated to have 45-50 mil this offseason. this is my first offseason mock.... please be gentle..

first thing I'd do is find a trade partner and trade soliai his salary next season is 5.7 mil thats way more than i want to pay for a one dimensional player. hoping to get a 3rd-4th plus hes a free agent in 2014

so that give us 50-55 mil est.

so for the free agents:
reggie bush- if i can resign him cheaply, its a done deal but very unlikely let him walk

jake long- tag and trade for a 2nd-3rd round pick just looking for some compensation for a very good tackle because he will comand too much money. also just a thought what if we bounced Jake inside to a G? just curious what yall think.

Brian hartline-resigned

anthony fasano- walking papers

matt moore- love to resign him but i dont think he wants to be in miami so he walks

sean smith- resigned, we already traded our other DB we dont need to loose another

randy starks- resigned because we traded soliai

RJ stanford- resigned for depth

chris clemons- i haven't been paying too much attention to him this season so im not sure what to do with him although he has been invisible when I've watched games. so I'll let him walk

as for defensive free agents

CB Talib, NE- i believe that the pats have more pressing issues aka welker,vollmer. the thing with Talib is hes young and could come cheap due to his legal issues 2 years ago, but a lot of bucs say hes a good teammate and from what I've heard from NE hes a quick study.

so our D looks like

vernon-odrick-starks-wake
misi-dansby-burnett
smith-jones-wilson-marshall
nickel back- talib stanford/carroll

now the fun part offense

traded jake long for a 2nd round pick.
let bush walk
let fasano walk
cut ingcognito

we aren't in a win now situation we shouldn't spend too much money in FA save it for our young guys contracts/ FA when we are a couple pieces away from the playoffs.

if Andy Levitre (BUF) - OG some how hits the market id sign him to a 5-6 year deal on the spot, hes very good at pass blocking and good at run blocking, he's able to slide out to the T in pinches as he has for the bills. but I doubt that he makes to the open market.

if not leveitre we sign brandon moore G NYJ- hes 33 year old G, but a bridge player until we have a young guy to take over for him.

dustin keller NYJ- we kill two birds with one stone, one we get athletic TE that catches well, and two our D doesn't have to face him lol

now the draft

1. justin hunter wr, Tennessee- waste no time at all this is a must, defenses have figured out with our wr's we can only do short routes with hunter they should back up and open the underneath routes

2 .Oday Aboushi, OT, Virginia- gotta replace Long so we take Oday a very good pass blocker and has improved his run blocking this season.

2.Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina- our G's have been horrid this season as neither fit the zone blocking scheme, cooper has been talked about best use in a ZBS

2. Omoregie Uzzi, G, Georgia Tech- both G's were horrid, Uzzi has been labeled as a perfect G for the ZBS because of his mobility

3. Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama- i don't trust daniel thomas, and i havent seen a good enough sample size of miller.

3.Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington- first defensive pick- a pick to push talib if not take the job

3. Tevin Reese, WR, Baylor- need wr's to run our offense effectively and speed.

4. James Gayle*, DE, Virginia Tech- need more athleticism on our d-line

5. Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State- broke his leg last season thats why he fell so far but hes a ball hawk and its what this defence needs

6. Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida- I've seen enough from the hippie

7.Alex Carder, QB, Western Michigan-developmental qb

also this is my first time making a full mock draft please let me know if the players i selected are off/ way off, I based this of Walters football projections as im not a big college ball watcher.

offence
QB: Tanny, devlin, carder
RB: Miller, Thomas, Lacy, Thigpen
WR: Hunter, Hartline, Bess, Reese
TE: Keller, Egnew/Clay
LT: Aboushi, Yeatman
OG: Moore, Cooper
C: Pouncy, Samuda
OG: Uzzi, Jerry
RT:Martin, Garner
---------------------------

Defence
LDE: Wake/Gayle
DT: Starks/ Randall
DT: Odrick/ Alexsih
RDE: Vernon,(player)
LOLB: Kevin Burnett/Josh Kaddu
MLB: Dansby/Jason Trusnik
ROLB: Misi/ (player)
CB: Smith/Marshall
FS: Jimmy Wilson
SS: Jones/ philip thomas
CB: Talib, stanford, Trufant

I think some of that above ^^^ is wishful thinking, but if everything actually worked out like that, I wouldn't complain.

Here's my scenario, as real or pie-in-the-sky as it looks:

Don't resign:

Bush
Fasano
Long
Starks

Sign:

Andre Smith (RT)
Mike Wallace
other cheap parts for depth

Try Jonathan Martin at LT.

Draft

1. Bjoern Werner, DE, FSU
2. Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
2. Joe Fuoria, TE, UCLA
3. C. Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
3. O. Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech

That's a little taste of what I'd like.

No one is going to pay the salary for Long and give up a 2nd and 3rd

Love the Keller pick up.

If we traded Davis because of attitude theres no way we bring in Talib. Hope we do though

We also need to pick up Pass Rush. Plus you took away our tank in the middle to stop the run.

If it all happened I wouldn't be upset because there are some nice pieces.
Keller
Hunter
and I do think there are some nice prospects for the OL to work with.
