This is assuming (which is probably the wrong thing to do at this point) that there is a new CBA. Additional cuts: G Pete Kendall, QB Brooks Bollinger Restructures: QB Chad Pennington (save $6M), DT DeWayne Robertson (save $4M) Cap Room (including Abraham trade, details below): Approx. $25M FA: QB Jon Kitna, DT Ma'ake Kemoeatu, G Stephen Neal Abraham to Denver for #29 and #93 #4 for #9 and #40 #9 for #17 and #48 #132, #196, #201 for #114 #102, #114, #116 for #74 1st, #17: Marcus McNeill, OT, Auburn 1st, #29: Nick Mangold, C, Ohio State 2nd, #35: Bobby Carpenter, OLB, Ohio State 2nd, #40: Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA 2nd, #48: Darnell Bing, S, USC 3rd, #71: Victor Adeyanju, DE, Indiana 3rd, #74: Brodie Croyle, QB, Alabama 3rd, #93: Jerome Harrison, RB, Washington St. 3rd, comp: Darrell Hunter, CB, Miami (OH) 4th, comp: Joe Toledo, OT, Washington 6th, #164: Freddie Roach, MLB, Alabama 6th, comp: David Castillo, C, Florida St. STARTERS: QB: Kitna OR Pennington RB: Open competition (Martin, Blaylock, Houston, Harrison) FB: Askew WR: Coles, McCareins OR Cotchery TE: Lewis LT: Jones LG: Neal OC: Mangold RG: Moore RT: McNeill LE: Ellis DT: Robertson NT: Kemoeatu RE: Adeyanju WLB: Barton MLB: Vilma SLB: Carpenter CB: Miller, Barrett FS: Coleman OR Rhodes SS: Bing Let the bashing begin! :grin:
I don't like the Darnell Bing pick that much, or the Thomas Howard pick. I think we need someone like Kai Parham if we're looking to continue with Barton at the weakside spot. Howard is athletic and isn't very good at taking on and shedding blocks, nor do I think he's strong enough to play there. The trades are awesome. As far as the depth chart goes, I'd rather see Thomas starting atleast opening day, and rotate in with Adeyanju. Three rookie starts on a defense is pretty scary. As far as Bing goes, I think Coleman, Rhodes and Washington is a solid rotation for now.
10Pennington10 not a bad draft but you sure do have a bunch of draft picks with 12 which I think is two above the limit. Anyway, I would draft Omar Jacobs instead of Coryle and Stanley McClover instead of Victor Adeyanju in the third round. Also, with the sixth round comp. pick I would get a WR like Marques Colston from Hofstra instead of another center when you already drafted Nick Mangold in the first round. And with your starting lineup, I would have Marcus McNeil play LT which he has played his whole collegiate career and have Adrian Jones play at RT.
