Well, as it seems to be tradition, I'm going to follow @jrry32 's lead and make a draft of my own. Ready? Okay, here we go:
Cut:
Rodger Saffold
Tim Barnes
Lance Kendricks
Eugene Sims
Tre Mason
(All obvious. I wish them well in their future endeavors.)
Release:
Kenny Britt
Brian Quick
Ethan Westbrooks
Matt Longacre
T.J. McDonald
Case Keenum
Chase Reynolds
Cam Thomas
(Westbrooks and Longacre don't have a fit in our system. McDonald is replaced by Mo. Britt and Quick are let go to put in some new young blood in the wide receiver position. Keenum is replaced by Mannion. Chase Reynolds is pure special teams and easily replaceable, and Thomas is JAG.)
Re-sign:
Trumaine Johnson (5 years, 11.5 million per year.)
Benny Cunningham (3 years, 3 million per year.)
Greg Zuerlein (4 years, 3 million per year.)
Dominique Easley (RFA)
Louis Trinca-Pasat (ERFA)
(Tru signs a reasonable contract and we get a shutdown corner. Zuerlein has improved a ton and is worth a long-term deal. Cunningham is also a must-re-sign. Easley is on the opposite side of Donald, and LTP competes at nose tackle.)
Convert:
Lamarcus Joyner (CB - FS)
(Yeah, Joyner moves to free safety, which leaves strong safety to Alexander. It gives us a pair of hard-hitting safeties in the backfield, and opposing receivers will fear us.
Cody Wichmann (G - C)
(Wichmann switches to a new position where he can function with limited strength.)
Free Agency:
Pierre Garcon (three years, 6 million per year.)
Markus Wheaton (two years, 4 million per year.)
Stefan Wisniewski (two years, 2.5 million per year.)
Demarcus Ware (one year, four million.)
Ronald Leary (five years, 10 million per year.)
Logan Ryan (five years, 8 million per year.)
Manti Te'o (2 years, 3 million per year.)
(Stealing Logan Ryan from @jrry32 . I'm trying to make everything fit, so...yeah.)
Trades:
William Hayes to the New York Giants for 2017 sixth round pick.)
(Hayes simply doesn't fit our system anymore. He's a class act all the way, so I wish him well.)
Mark Barron, 2018 second round pick, and 2017 seventh round pick to the Cleveland Browns for their 2017 second round pick.
(Like the others, I wish Barron well, but his fit in Wade's system isn't the same as his fit in Williams' system. In return, we get a top pick in this year's class.)
Draft:
2 (Browns) - Forrest Lamp, C, Western Kentucky.
2 - T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin.
3 - Tanoh Kpassagnon, DE, Villanova.
4 - Akhello Witherspoon, CB, Colorado.
4 (Comp.) - Amara Darboh, WR, Michigan.
5 - Ejuan Price, OLB, Pittsburgh.
6 - Jerry Ugokwe, OT, William & Mary.
6 (Giants) - Javancy Jones, ILB, Jackson State.
(Taking advice from others on where people are likely to go. Lamp is my favorite offensive lineman in this draft. Watt, Kpassagnon, Witherspoon, Price, and Jones are all likely to at least get snaps, if not outright start. Darboh falls because of his lack of top end athleticism, but he's going to be a solid number two wideout in this league. Ugokwe is from jrry's mock.)
Thoughts, critiques, comments, all are welcome.
