A Franchise Without A Franchise Quarterback Mock

PowerElite · Joined: 25 Dec 2009 Posts: 7624

Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians
Knows how to work with young QBs

"Offensive Coordinator"/Running Game Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach
Mike Solari
Has had success in the running game and with offensive linemen everywhere he's gone.

Defensive Coordinator Lovie Smith
He is qualified to change the defensive culture which is a necessity for anyone hired for the job.

Free agent objective is to increase the size and physicality of the defense.
Free Agents:
DE Michael Johnson 26, 6'7” 270

DT Desmond Bryant 27, 6'6 311

CB Keenan Lewis 27, 6'0 208

CB Phillip Adams 25, 5'11 192

SS LaRon Landry 28, 6'0 220

FS Kenny Phillips 26, 6'2 217

S Mike Mitchell 26, 6'0” 213

WR/ST Domenik Hixon 29, 6'2 197

Cuts:
Mike Patterson
Nnamdi
Kurt Coleman
Casey Matthews
Cullen Jenkins
Jason Avant

Trade:
#4 to the Rams for #16, #22, and #46
Brent Celek 7th
Jeremy Maclin 5th

The draft appears devoid of players worthy of a #4 pick so trading down with a sucker is the best move.

1st (Rams) Matt Barkley QB Southern California 6-2 230

1st (Rams) Xavier Rhodes CB Florida Stater 6-1 217

2nd Dion Jordan OLB Oregon 6-6 243

2nd (Rams) Lane Johnson OT Oklahoma Sr 6-6 303

3rd Travis Frederick C/OG Wisconsin 6-4 338

4th Joe Kruger DE Utah 6-6 280

5th Jamie Collins OLB Southern Mississippi 6-3 240

5th (Maclin) Marquess Wilson WR Washington State 6-3 188

6th Tavarres King WR Georgia 6-1 200

7th Sanders Commings CB Georgia 6-1 216

UDRFA
Mark Harrison WR Rutgers 6-3 234

Corey Fuller WR Virginia Tech 6-2 196

Mychal Rivera TE Tennessee 6-3 245

Justice Cunningham TE South Carolina Sr 6-4 264

Aaron Hester CB UCLA 6-1 207

Braden Wilson FB Kansas State 6-3 254

Justin Brown WR Oklahoma 6-3 209

Tbh I kind of like this except for a few things.

Matt Barkley.
The 1st round pick trade is very unlikely one 1st and a 2nd is more likely.

Sanders Cummings will be gone by the 5th unless something happens to him.

The fact that Dion Jordan is an athletic freak will propel him into the 1st.

Other than that this mock is ok.

You are bringing in 8 defensive backs?

And it seems like Rams are trading with a sucker too, why are we drafting Barkley so early? We should be able to get him much later

No one is going to Arians a head coaching job this year and Lovie will not be a coordinator. He has already said he wants to be a head coach.
8 free agents after coming out of free agent hell with a new coaching staff, is the most unlikely thing in the world.
Little value for Maclin and Celek.
I like Barkley but he is the same player as Foles, the same player. Only difference is Foles is already progressing where as Barkley would be starting from scratch. Literally a lateral move in terms of the payer and a step backwards in terms of development.
Makes zero sense.

Sorry man, not really feeling any of this.

If we take Matt Barkley in the first, I will cry.

So we keep Vick and draft Barkley?

We hire Arians as HC?

And you bash people for their ideas?

If this was an attempt at humor, you did a good job.

You had me until I saw Matt Barkley, other than that it's not half bad.

I don't know how this would work with the salary cap. You would have to cut Vick.

I'm not crazy about Barkley but I like the rest of it.

Edit: And I don't think Lovie needs to be a DC for Bruce Arians for a year. I think he can get a head coaching job this offseason.

Matt Barkley has so many haters that I recently grown into a fan of the guy. Most of you guys have no idea what to look for in a QB anyway. Rolling Eyes

When a team has no franchise QB you have to bring in more bodies that have yet to prove that they will never be a franchise guy. Bray and Landry Jones are my preferred guys because they can get the ball downfield easily but Barkley has less question marks. I'm waiting for someone to say that he has a weak arm so that I can get my copy/paste on. Twisted Evil

Don't want Arians as HC

Too many free agents

Rams wouldn't make that trade

Draft is meh, not really a fan of Barkley
