We head into this offseason with the 3rd and 13th picks in the coming draft. And then a usual cohort after that. I'm not really looking to make a million picks a draft in this thing, just for my own sanity really. We've got talent on the roster. We lost our best CB from last year, who doesn't even show on the roster screen here because I franchised him, shopped him, and got no interest for some kind of lame late pick trade. So we released him before printing the roster screen. It's a spot of some concern.
SS Ted Matthews couldn't trim weight last summer from his drafted 211 lbs, so we just played him at SS. He's got everything but a zone bar and I think he played well. It's a tough spot to judge, but I think we could just leave him there and let him do his thing. I also think he's got a lot of good looking CB attributes, I'm just not quite comfortable he can play there at that weight.
We were able to sneak an extension onto DE Salvador Boone at the end of TC last year as well. He was going into his 2nd season and we basically got an extra year of control by agreeing to pay him $7m/yr during his rookie deal instead of $3m/yr. I think that was smart. He's a 77/77 guy and we've got high quality DEs at both spots with some solid depth behind them.
We've got LBs. We're in the last year of WLB/MLB Benson though, so maybe we do our DT thing just to be weird. I do feel better about the crew we'd roll out now that they're not all rookies. And I'll almost definitely chase down a few more LBs in the draft. (Note to self: just run a 3-4 one time and stop fighting it.)
Aside from some kind of real QB, we need OL help too. I'm worried it could be a real problem for us in this career because it's a tough spot to churn. Some really talented OLinemen are really undeveloped in the draft, and they take forever to fill out. We aren't going to have that luxury I don't think. We'll either have to eliminate those guys from our sights or patch things together differently. It seems reasonably clear that the positional focus of your coaches works something like mentoring. Our OC Budda Baker has a QB focus, and even our rookies who didn't play last year have taken steps forward. Maybe we try to work some wacky angle and load up on OL coaches?
However we do it, we need better OL play. We might even need dominant OL play to run this career with gimp QBs and the bullshit offenses they can execute. Stud O-Linemen are potential targets if we decide to use our two 1st rounders. I'm even open to trading them for developed players if that's what makes sense. It's reasonably clear to me that 50% cap is going to be challenge. I'll play all out in other ways until it's obvious I shouldn't.
We have some decent WR talent, with two more years of Neumeyer (66/66) and Ackerman (49/49). I'm tempted to dust off some tzach shit and just chuck it around, but I think we'll just go from inept to interceptions.
I don't really want to just draft a QB. We'll see what's there though.
