Mock Offseason v. 1

Surprised we're not trading for Garoppolo, if we're getting McDaniels at HC. He'd definitely want a QB who knows his system.

I see that argument and that's a potential direction. I just think knowing the system is a short-term thing. If Watson is more talented, he'll provide more long term upside.

Yup, would think Jacksonville looks good to them.

Caldwell might be set on keeping Bortles. He didn't have an awesome year, but he's not consistently terrible, and you don't need the longest memory to recall when he looked very promising.

Who knows, though? There's a lot of talent on that roster, and Caldwell saps he'd give up some control to get the right guy.

Liked everything but Ryan. Can't stand that pompous idiot.

He's got a lot of $$ still coming in, too. Could easily pull a Pettine and take the year off.

I think McDaniels could probably pull Vrabel in, which would be pretty cool.

Draft

Trade 2nd (34) and 3rd (66) picks for 1st (20), 5th (148), and 6th (180)

1(2): Myles Garrett OLB Texas A&M - No explanation needed. If he's there we need to take him. Don't even think about trading down.

1(20): Deshaun Watson QB Clemson - We trade up and get our guy. Most people would think if we get McDaniels, we'd trade for Garappolo. However, knowing a guy doesn't overcome a talent discrepancy and Watson has it all physically. Intangibles all check out. He just needs to get more consistent and McDaniels can help with that.

4(129): Pharaoh Brown TE Oregon - Very few 4th rd picks can come in and immediately provide value to a rookie QB but Brown potentially can. He's big and athletic.

4(Comp): Dalvin Tomlinson NT
5(148): Hardy Nickerson ILB Illinois
5(161): Jon Toth C Kentucky
6(180): Fred Ross WR Mississippi St
6(194): Dymonte Thomas S Michigan
7(211): Dwayne Thomas CB LSU
7(212): Sam Rogers FB Virginia Tech

Looks pretty solid to me If Garrett is gone i'd take Trubisky/Watson and still trade back into the first for pick 20 to grab a WR (Davis/Williams/Ross).

Not bad. Like some of the choices

I tried to find a solid defensive connection to McDaniels for a while and none seemed to fit well. Vrabel didn't even cross my mind. Great call.

we are going to have to grossly overpay at least one playmaker to get them to come here. i think alshon jeffery is worth it. i dont want josh mcdaniels as our HC

don't like rex... Marcel Dareus says his scheme was to complex and it hurt the team...

This...going the NE route and not getting the young qb that knows the system.
