FA:
Sign Brady Christensen, OL - 1 year
Rehabilitation contract to start at LG for a year. Versatility to backup all 5 spots as well, and gives us time to develop a rookie or two.
Sign Tyler Linderbaum, OL - 4 years
I dont think he is the caliber of players that warrants completely resetting the center market; his work in pass protection just isnt good enough. That said, he is a massive upgrade over Brendel, is elite in the run game, and beggars cant be choosers. He is our best shot at maximizing whatever window is left with our aging core of all pro players, and young enough to continue excelling into the next phase of the team.
Sign Breece Hall, RB - 3 years
Our new RB1 means he is also the NFLs new RB1
Sign Isaiah Likely - 4 years
It was already time to start planning for life after Kittle, but Kittles injury only further expedited that timeline. Plus, I have Likely on my fantasy dynasty team and he just isnt getting it done for me in Baltimore.
Trades:
Mac Jones for a 2 and a 5 to start somewhere
CMC for a 3 so we get something a year early rather than risk getting nothing a year late
Brendel for a 6 as I pretend some team is going to value a "league average starter"
Brandon Aiyuk for a 4 and a 6 because I need more draft picks for this mock draft and its so frustrating we ain't gonna get s**t for what was such an elite player and because if Adam Peters wants him hes gonna have to pay for him
2026 3 + 2027 conditional for Jonathan Greenard, EDGE as Minnesota looks to cut salary after a down year for Greenard and an up year for their other young stud edge rusher.
Draft:
1 Caleb Banks, DT
Hes either our Chris Jones or our Javon Kinlaw, but dammit this team could really use a Chris Jones. When his pad level is right, hes too strong, too long, too quick, too active with his hands.
2 Max Iheanachor, OL
I dont really like the idea of drafting a redshirt player, but Iheanachor's career upside might be worth it. We aren't going to find an immediate upgrade to McKivitz, but here we take his eventual replacement. Ive read he had his ups and downs, wins and losses at senior bowl practices, but thats expected of a player so green to the sport. What I've also read his he took really well to coaching, and showed noticeable improvement from rep to rep and day to day, which is huge because to my eye, he was the only player that truly popped off the screen during the actual game. If we can get a player with this size, length, foot speed, movement ability and blocking demeanor in the 2nd round who has also displayed the mental aptitude for reaching their ceiling, its worth a redshirt.
2 Omar Cooper Jr, WR
The perfect blend of Aiyuk and Deebo in skill, traits and usage. Early possession and utility receiver ability to start for us immediately, with the athletic ability to develop into a full time weapon.
3 Zakee Wheatly, S
Can we finally get a serviceable cover safety here, please?! Added points for not being a liability, a weapon even, in the run game.
4 Sammy Omosigho, LB
Athletic demon with special upside at LB and ideally on ST as well.
4 Domonique Orange, NT
Continuing our efforts to improve the teams run defense, Orange is a huge body with flashes of surprisingly quick movement and sideline-to-sideline hustle.
4 De'zhaun Stribling, WR
I truly believe Ricky Pearsall--if he can stay healthy--can be your versatile inside-outside high volume receiver in the mold of a CeeDee Lamb. Then you've got Omar Cooper Jr. And now, you got your true X receiver.
4 Brian Parker II, OL
And now you've got your LG of the future, and another player than can serve as a primary backup at potentially all 5 spots. That means 2026 has a starting OL of Trent Williams | Brady Christensen | Tyler Linderbaum | Dominic Puni | Colton McKivitz and a 2027 line of (more on him later) Charles Jagusah | Brian Parker II | Tyler Linderbaum | Dominic Puni | Max Iheanachor....pretty good current group with a pretty good long term plan, on paper anyway
5 Treydan Stukes, CB
I really would have loved to get a CB in here earlier on day 2, but I'm still a firm believer in DeMo, Green and and Stout. We definitely need more depth in here tho, and Stukes is a nice fit for what this team historically likes in their CBs.
5 Landon Robinson, DT
Here is a guy that wins so freaking quick and might be your premier pressure winner at DT, even over Banks. Hes under sized, but hes got the best knee drop technique I've ever seen, so might even be able to hold up vs the run at the NFL level..does Raheem get his Aaron Donald from his Rams days? TBD.
6 Dallen Bentley, TE
Me big. Me fast. Me like to block.
6 Mark Gronowski, QB
Keep a healthy pipeline of good backup QBs.
2027
1 Charles Jagusah, LT (TWill successor)
2 Anto Saka, EDGE (Bryce Huff replacement)
