Thanks man, it was a lot of fun. I encourage everyone to do one if they have the time. You learn a lot in the process if you're thorough and dont assume things like the money a player would sign for or just the names people cling to and talk about--there are other free agents out there that are being overlooked that can help teams.This is awesome. My thoughts:
Agree on all the restructures.
Personally I’d let Benito Jones walk, and I think Wynn is retiring — but I’d use that same money for a good backup swing tackle. I’d like Dodson back, but not at more than $2-3M per year.
In free agency, I’d aim a little higher than Mekari. I want one of Teven Jenkins, Will Fries, or Aaron Banks. And I also want a vet like Scherf. Even if it means some void years to make both of those things happen. For the $5.5M you have allotted to Dodson, I’d rather give someone better a multi-year deal starting at the same cap figure. Maybe Sherwood. Then at safety, I’d give the Blackmon money to Moehrig instead. Love the Nate Hobbs idea at CB.
In the draft, I’d go Tyler Warren in the first. That basically completes our offense from my perspective — just add a mid-round OL prospect and a late round short yardage back. In the second round, I like Alfred Collins and in the third, I like Mukuba.
In my reworking, the defense probably needs one more good DT. Otherwise, I’m good with all your other moves. That team is a competitor.
I honestly may do another one before tomorrow just because it would be easier now that I have done all the work and I may incorporate a Tua restructure giving me another 21M to work with and being more aggressive with higher priced players. Thats the thing with this, you could go a zillion different ways. I really tried to plug as many holes as I could. I think its a much improved roster, but I do think I could do it differently and better, especially with more $$$ to use. Im a believer in Tua and would restructure him, I did not in mine because I tried to blend my mock with maybe some of what I thought Miami will actually do.
