Welcome, everyone! Let's get on with the show, shall we?
FIRE:
Brian Schottenheimer, offensive coordinator
I really don't think that this is a surprise, given that he's failed to utilize his weapons, hasn't adjusted to opposing defenses, and - in all honesty - I think we have to do better than what we showed Thursday night.
HIRE:
Tom Herman, offensive coordinator
The Ohio State offensive coordinator is fantastic with quarterbacks, and knows how to get the most out of his skill position players.
RESTRUCTURE:
Sam Bradford
Hate putting all of our eggs in one basket again...but I doubt that we're getting Mariota, and none of the other quarterbacks interest me. So we go with what we know.
CUT:
Scott Wells
Jake Long
Kendall Langford
Eugene Sims
Isaiah Pead
No real surprises. I hate getting rid of Langford, but I promise that his replacement will be worth it. As for Sims, I think that after a year, Ethan Westbrooks can adequately take his place as the fourth DE.
RESIGN:
Kenny Britt
Lance Kendricks
Cory Harkey
Rodney McLeod
Shaun Hill
No real surprises...but I think Barksdale is gone. I don't want to overpay for his services, and while he is a great run-blocker, he leaves much to be desired against 3-4 linebackers and speed rushers. Aside from that, the cap that we save allows us to do this:
SIGN:
Stefen Wiesniewski, center
This has to be a priority signing. He replaces Wells, gives us flexibility in the draft, and he's only twenty-six.
TRADES:
(Credit goes to Jrry for creating the basis for this trade) Rams 2015 first round pick for Panthers 2015 second round pick, 2015 fifth round pick, and 2016 first round pick.
(This is mine, though.) Rodney McLeod to the Eagles for 2015 fourth round pick.
Well, the quarterbacks and top tier players are gone, so what do we do? Trade out of the first round and get a shot at our franchise quarterback in the next draft. And we get a high second round pick out of it. As for McLeod, the Eagles safeties are terrible. We have Joyner waiting in the wings as our free safety (a position that is probably better for him), so why not use a valuable asset?
DRAFT:
2nd round (Panthers): Ty Sambrailo, OG/OT, Colorado State.
2nd round: Spencer Drango OT/OG, Baylor.
3rd round: Gabe Wright, DT, Auburn.
4th round (Eagles): Dres Anderson, WR, Utah.
5th round (Panthers): Joey Mbu, DT, Houston.
5th round: Josh Shaw, CB, USC.
7th round: A.J. Derby, TE, Arkansas.
Sambrailo and Drango are pretty much interchangeable in terms of their position; the best man wins the RT job, while the other gets shifted to left guard. Wright is a talented defensive tackle who finds his way into the backfield more often than not, while Mbu is a bigger guy who can stuff the run. Anderson is a deep threat and the son of our very own Flipper Anderson. Shaw is a second-round talent with character concerns that drop him here. Derby is a wild-card: a former quarterback-turned-tight end. I know that he's in the fifth round of jrry's mock, but right now, he isn't even listed as a prospect on CBS, and I can't find him anywhere really, even though he has a ton of potential.
As always, leave a post if you have something to say. Happy holidays to all!
