New Year, New Mock Offseason

Shifty · 2017-01-02T16:12:16-08:00

GM Nick Caserio HC Josh McDaniels OC Brian Daboll (Current Pats TE Coach, former OC in the NFL) DC Mike Vrabel Cut/Not Coming Back Blaine Gabbert, Colin Kaepernick, DuJuan Harris, Marcus Martin, Ian Williams, Ahmad Brooks, Michael WIlhoite Re-Signed RB Shaun Draughn 2 year deal WR Jeremy Kerley 2 year deal OG Andrew Tiller 2 year deal NT Glenn Dorsey 2 year deal DE Chris Jones 1 year deal ILB Gerald Hodges 1 year deal K Phil Dawson 1 year deal Free Agency QB Brian Hoyer 2 year deal - Hoyer is brought in to be a veteran backup. His stats have been solid the past 2 seasons (17 games, 4000 yards, 25 TD's 7 INT's) RB Jacquizz Rodgers 2 year deal - A versatile back who did a solid job filling in for Doug Martin this year. We all know Hyde's health history so having capable backups is crucial. TE Martellus Bennett 3 year deal - It's no secret that McDaniels incorporates a lot of 2 TE sets and he values them very highly. Bennett knows his system and provides another weapon for our QB to utilize. NT Bennie Logan 4 year deal - We have a huge hole at NT, Dorsey is solid but more a rotational guy. Logan will help plug up running holes, allow Buckner and Armstead to make more plays, and make it easier on our ILB's like Bowman and Ray Ray to stop the run. OLB Connor Barwin 3 year deal - Barwin is likely to be a cap casualty for the Eagles, they have Curry and Graham at DE already who are younger, cutting Barwin frees up some cap space. For us, Barwin is most effective and productive as a 3-4 OLB, high character and a veteran presence. Notable upgrade over Brooks. Credit to GEEK for pointing out Barwin most likely being cut. Trades 49ers trade 1st round pick to the Jets for 2017 1st and 2nd round picks, and 2018 2nd and 5th round picks. (Jets get their Franchise QB in Trubisky and don't have to give up multiple first round picks for him) 49ers trade 2017 2nd round pick (from Jets) and 2018 2nd round pick (whichever end up being lesser value between ours and pick we acquired from Jets) to New England Patriots for QB Jimmy Garappolo. Draft Round 1 - Mike Williams WR Clemson - It's been a long time since we've had a true bona fide #1 WR, Williams becomes that instantly. Garappolo will have some very solid weapons to work with. Round 2 - Takkarist McKinley OLB/DE UCLA - We haven't been able to get much pressure on opposing QB's, we add another talented pass rusher in McKinley here. Barwin, McKinley, Lynch, Harold, Buckner and Armstead. Our pass rush should be much improved. Round 3 - Anthony Walker Jr ILB Northwestern - Love Bowman but 2 big time injuries? Will be tough to come back close to 100%. Ray Ray looked solid for us but is still a question mark. We need depth at ILB, 2016 definitely taught us that. Round 4 - Ryan Switzer WR North Carolina - Switzer has Edelman/Amendola written all over him, similar size, very shifty, hard to bring down and most importantly reliable hands. Often a go to for QB Mitch Trubisky. Round 4 comp pick via Boone - Brady Gustafson QB Montana - Goes to Montana? Has the name Brady in his name? With those coincidences we would be fools to not draft this guy. But seriously, we draft him as a young QB to develop, who could be a nice longterm backup to Garappolo. Round 5 - Nick Linder OC Miami - Kilgore while solid was arguably the weakest link on the o-line, give Linder a year or so and could challenge for the starting spot. Round 6 - Kendell Beckwith LB LSU - I know I know, an ACL pick, but in the 6th round Beckwith is worth the risk. Once a solid 3rd round prospect, we get Beckwith in the 6th who could very well end up starting alongside Bowman/Walker/Armstrong in a couple years. Beckwith probably spends 2017 on PUP/IR but we have great depth at ILB going forward. Round 7 - Weston Steelhammer S Air Force - How do you not draft a safety with the name Steelhammer? What do you guys think?

I could really get behind this. Think that's reasonable compensation for Garoppolo for both sides of the deal. Also, like the idea of trading down a few spots if possible (if the Browns draft Garrett).

A very good offseason! Well done

I would just want a little more in compensation for trading outside the top 5 with a team that wants a QB

Nice job that would be great if it all fell into place. Hopefully Switzers and Takks draft stocks don't rise which I could see happening.Would like to see our 4th round comp pick be used on another passrusher/Wr/Running Back and your QB from Montana in the 6th instead of another all ACL team pick.

Trading for Jimmy G and taking Mike Williams after trading back is exactly what ive been thinking lately, very good job..Switzer would be a steal in the 4th

Agree as well. I say throw in Sheldon Richardson and make that 5th a 3rd in 2018. Other than that I don't think we could ask for a better offseason. However I do feel we could add one big time FA. Great job man

Let me just throw this out there M Williams is true #1 and would be great to have in a trade down scenario

Nice... probably too nice. I get the feeling we're still on the wrong side of our eighties karma for it all fall into place like this.

I'm assuming you're saying we are trading for Garoppolo on draft day. Because the likelihood the Jets making a draft deal in March is not very good. If Garoppolo is going to be dealt, I'd imagine it'll be in March.

Depends on if Jets fall in love with Mitch. Not a strong QB class, and Jets will also probably pay for Colin Kaepernick in free agency once he voids his contract. Backup QB money obviously, unless the Jets are impressed with his numbers. Kap's girlfriend also lives in New York, which is why I'm assuming he wants to go there.

Solid, some thought behind this mock. Switzer is the next Wes Welker. I like Trubisky, but if Polo works out that's fine.

One of the best mocks I've seen all around. Would love for this all to play out. I'm curious what Jimmy G's contract extension would look like?

Love it! I'm guessing the switch to a 4-3 with Vrabel?

I'd move on from bethea as well dude is done. I don't see Rogers leaving TB they love him there and it sound like they might cut Martin.
