FA
K.Dansby ILB - A must have to get this defense fix, a play making ILB something we haven't had for what seems like forever.
J.Peppers OLB - This one won't be high on alot of peoples lists of FA but I think that actual list will be a small one and not to many teams will being willing to spend good money this offseason. Peppers gives us a freak athlete coming off the edge with something to prove.
Trade
C.Crowder ILB to KC for 2nd, 5th and D.Johnson ILB
J.Smiley OG
G.Cam WR
6th
KC needs Oline help at OG and OT and they want to rid themselves of Johnson even though he play well at the end of the season. C.Crowder really improves their ILB combo and J.Smiley sets them up at OG. Greg is a solid #2 WR to help Bowe and Cassell out.
D.Johnson will have a chance to compete with a drafted ILB for the starting ILB spot beside K.Sansby, the loser becomes the back-up. We move Smiley so that V.Carey can go to LG and we'll draft a new RT bolstering the left side of the line.
T.Thigpen QB & a 6th to Buffalo for a 3rd.
We only make this deal if we get real value for him and re-signing Pennington allows to do this. I have no problem trading him in the division, Henne is a far superior QB and we have a wonderfully built team.
Draft
1(12) D.Bryant WR - We get that #1 we've always wanted to help Henne out.
Trade 2(36), 2(43), 6th and W.Allen CB to Arizona for 1(26)
Arizona has a few holes to fill on defense and one is a CB opposite D.Cromartie after McFadden failed badly.
1(26) T.Cody NT - Big man in the middle to shut down the run and occasionally colapse the pocket. Rotates with Solai but equates to good value being selected in the latter half of the 1st.
3(72) J.Veldheer OT - 6'9 321 an absolute monster RT that's pretty athletic, starter all 4 years which is a big plus in our FO's eyes.
3(73) M.Johnson ILB - Competes with D.Johnson for the other starting ILB position. Great athlete, great size, will make everyone thank the FO for trading Crowder.
4(107) K.Misi OLB - Under the radar OLB that was extremely impressive at the Senior Bowl. He gets to learn from Peppers and Taylor while getting some limited reps just like Wake did last year.
5 A.Quarless TE - An excellent athletic TE that can stretch the field and has great hands. Excelled at the Senior Bowl and has cleaned up his act, Quarless is great value in the 5th round.
6. A.Moats OLB 6'2 250 4.6/40 Division 1AA 1st Team All-American 23.5 TFL and 11 Sacks. Possibly a PS player that has huge upside if developed properly which seems to be the way of our CS.
7. E.Cook C 6'6 315 Massive Center that only gave up 1 sack all year, PS kid to develope for a couple years.
Roster
QB - C.Henne, C.Pennington, P.White
RB - R.Brown, R.Williams, P.Cobbs, L.Hillard
FB - L.Polite
TE - A.Fasano, A.Quarless, K.Sperry
WR - D.Bryant, B.Hartline, D.Bess, T.Ginn, P.Turner
OT - J.Long, J.Veldheer, N.Garner
OG - D.Thomas, V.Carey
C - J.Groves, J.Berger
DE - K.Langford, R.Starks, P.Merling, T.McDaniel
NT - T.Cody, P.Solai
OLB - C.Wake, J.Peppers, J.Taylor, K.Misi, C.Anderson
ILB - K.Dansby, M.Johnson, D.Johnson
SS - Y.Bell, T.Culver
FS - G.Wilson, C.Clemons
CB - V.Davis, S.Smith, N.Jones, J.Allen
I truely believe the FO/CS gives G.Wilson another shot to keep his starting FS spot with C.Clemons nipping at his heals if he falters at all. M.Nolan is the biggest offseason move and giving him hungry talent to play with makes our defense a feared one to play against. Peppers may be a controversial FA pick up but he will dominate in this defense with M.Nolan ringing up the blitz from everywhere and anywhere. Just imagine Wake and Peppers coming off the edges in this pass happy league!
D.Bryant gives Henne an extremely reliable WR to play opposite B.Hartline who I think has a great year. Moving J.Smiley gives us a great duo on the left side with Carey and Long beating down on DL-men in our run game. Quarless gives us that down field threat that we missed last year when D.Martin was let go.
I believe the KC trade and the Arizona trade offers real value on both sides allowing the potential to happen. Even if we couldn't do the Arizona one we could still get C.Thomas NT in the 2nd as a back up plan.
