Offseason Plan with Mock Draft

CaliforniaChief · 02-14-2025, 03:27 PM

I'm sure I'm not very good at this, especially when it comes to contracts/cap hits...but it's fun so rip away. I did the mock draft at PFN's free 7-round site.

I think Travis is going to retire. I think Trey Smith and Nick Bolton will be too expensive. Justin Reid is going to be tough but I'd like him back.

I'd love to bring Hollywood, Wharton, and Omenihu back. I'd also probably bring either Samaje or Kareem back as long as I'm able to draft a RB.

Free agents:
(LT) Alaric Jackson, Rams. I think he's a good option because he's younger and has shown himself to be good.

(G) Patrick Mekari, Ravens. Helps absorb the loss of Trey Smith and looming end for Thuney in a year or two. And hurts the Ravens.

Draft:
1 (31): Kenneth Grant, DL, Michigan. I love this guy. Putting him around Chris Jones could be lethal. Need to build both trenches and he's too good to pass up here.

2 (63): TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State. Judkins was also available, but Henderson seems to be the explosive guy we're looking for. Maybe some injury concern, but a possible home run hitter.

TRADE 3 (66) to Colts for 3 (80) and 2026 3rd round pick. Flip that 2026 3rd rounder to the Falcons for TE Kyle Pitts. Pitts is NOT the Kelce replacement. Nobody is. But he's another round 1 reclamation project who could benefit from having a real QB and competent coach.

3 (80): Ajani Cornelius (OT), Oregon. Adding to the tackle room behind Jackson and giving us the eventual replacement for Jawaan Taylor upon his inevitable release after next season.

3 (95): Jay Higgins (LB), Iowa. My obligatory Hawkeye pick. All he does is make plays. I think he'll be a very good NFL player.

5 (168): J.J. Pegues (DT), Ole Miss. Great athlete, converted Tight End. Could be a fun guy to use around the goal line on offense too, and we all know Andy loves that (much to my dismay sometimes).

7 (232): Xavier Truss (OL), Georgia. Massive guy who has some positional flexibility, completing a restocking of the trenches.

7 (256): Alijah Huzzie (CB), North Carolina. A guy with a ton of college experience who can jump into the slot, play special teams, who knows? We have to take a CB in the 7th, right?
