Justin's Jimmy "The Savior" Mock

Its hard to say on Lawrence right now. Every now and then there is a legit pass rusher that hits the open market and Lawrence could be the next one. I only say this because Cowboys have 25 mil in cap space and Lawrence's tag would be $17M (2017 numbers, couldnt find 2018). They wouldnt have any wiggle room for other free agents and they have a lot of holes. If they were in the playoffs looked good with their current roster, i would say Lawrence for sure is going to get tagged but given that Charlton was drafted last year and he has looked okay...they might be looking to spend money elsewhere then using it all on one player.

But if Lawrence hits the open market, i think no doubt Lynch is the first one on the phone with his agent. Having Lawrence at LEO and Harold Landry SAM (sliding in at LDE on passing downs), would boost our pass rush astronomically. Our DBs will be having a field day every sunday jumping incomplete routes

Why would you cut Magnuson? He was just drafted and was good enough to play this year? Guys got good upside for depth at the very minimum. Plus he can play 3 spots on the line. Makes no sense to me.

well it will all come down to the camp battles but i saw him as the odd man out. Yeah he played this year but cant really say he had much competition. Didnt really see anything special from him either. But bringing in the Hyatt, who can play G and T, and Pierschbacher, who can play C and G, gives us 2 new young guys with a lot of versatility on the line also. In this scenario, he would be going up against Fusco for a spot and Fusco has proven to be a valuable backup at worst.

David Irving whose a RFA has been playing well for them could also play a factor in letting him walk along with 2 back surgeries i wasnt aware he had.

Risky... But hey if he gives us 2 good years and only the first two years are guaranteed than f**k it

oh wow. didnt know about the back surgeries either. Doesnt look like they were too serious given the low media attention on it and his career year he is having

If he had herniated discs... Id be hella concerned. But hey thats what physicals and Drs are for right? Lol.

Steve Young said it and i agree, we have a chance to go from worst to first given our draft picks and cap space. I predict Lynch will be aggressive in getting the running game on track, protecting Jimmy, and getting to the QB. JimmyG is a guy who makes OWs so we should focus on giving him time and setting up a run game that will help the passing game.

Another important thing about a contending team is depth. We got to make sure we have versatile players who can slide into other positions when injuries inevitably start stacking up.

Resign:
-QB Jimmy Garappolo (6 years $150M, $60M guaranteed)- First things first...lock up Franchise Jimmy!
-G Brandon Fusco 1year (vet minimum): Valuable backup
-LB Brock Coyle 1year ($1.5M): Valuable backup and STer
-DE Cassius Marsh (1 year $2M): Valuable backup and STer
-RB Raheem Mosert (1 year vet minimum)
-T Gary Gilliam (1 year vet minimum)

Notable Cuts:
-G Zane Beadles:
-WR Aldrick Robinson
-SAM Pita Taumoepena
-G Erik Magnuson

FA:
-LEO Demarcus Lawrence (5 years $90M, $40 guaranteed) Been skeptical he will make it to FA but it looks like Cowboys will be cash strapped next year and they drafted Charlton last year in the first. So it looks like he could be testing the waters. Im a little wary of his suspensions but its easy to overlook that with how good he plays.
-C Ryan Jensen (4 years $32M, $15M guaranteed) Smart athletic center.
-CB Aaron Colvin (4 years $40M, $18M guaranteed)- Strong CB overshadowed by the best CB duo in the league.
-TE Niles Paul (2 years $5M, $1.5M guaranteed)- TE Depth

Some of the draftees may seem a little out of reach but we may be able to trade back from our spot and still get Landry while accumulating more picks. So just imagine we used those picks to jump up and get those guys

Draft:
1st round: DE/SAM Harold Landry BC
-Fast and strong. Athletic enough to play SAM and will slide in at DE on passing downs.
2nd round: RB Rashaad Penny SDSU
-Has the speed to hit the hole and make sure no one catches him from behind. Also he has the size and bulk to run between the tackles and get 20 carries a game. He will assume the primary back role with Breida/Williams sprinkled in.
3rd round: OG/OT Mitch Hyatt CLEMSON
-Will slide in at LG next to Staley and possibly be his heir when he is ready to hang his hat. Perfect for our scheme.
3rd round: WR Simmie Cobbs UI
-Expecting him to go earlier, in which case i would go with Dante Pettis, but for now lets assume he makes it to the 3rd. Great hands, speed, and especially size. Wins 50/50 battles with great hands and body control.
4th round: G/C Ross Piersbacher ALA
-Will play a backup role to all interior lineman spots, most importantly Center, and could potentially be a starter in the future.
6th round: CB Kevin Tolliver LSU
-Big press corner to develop
7th round: CB Tony Brown ALA
-Will be a menace as a STer and reminds me alot of Adrian Colbert. Has all the intangibles but takes too many risks. Needs some good ole coaching
7th round: WLB Shaqueem Griffin UCF
-Drops due to his limitations of missing a hand but if he did have both his hands, he would be 2nd rounder at worst. He is elite in coverage but suffers big time in tackling but still manages to make plays in run support. He will backup Malcolm and serve as a STer for 2018. I think he could be steal.

Roster:

QB: Garappolo/Beathard
RB: Penny*/Breida/Williams/Mosert
FB: Juicy
WR: Garcon/Goodwin/Taylor/Cobbs*/Bourne
TE: Celek/Kittle/Paul*

OT: Staley/Hyatt*
LG: Hyatt*/Fusco
C: Jensen*/Pierschbacher*
RG: Garnett/Tomlison
OT: Brown/Gilliam

LEO: Lawrence*/Dumervil
NT: Mitchell/Jones
DT: Buckner/Armstead/Day
DE: S.Thomas/Blair

SAM: Landry*/Harold/Marsh
MIKE: Foster/Coyle
WLB: M.Smith/Griffin*

CB:Witherspoon/ Tolliver*/Brown*
FS: Colbert/Ward
SS: Tartt/ Bargain FA or UDFA*
SLOT: Williams
CB: Colvin*/Ward

P: Pinon
K:Gould
LS:Nelson
KR: Bolden/Mosert
PR: Taylor/Penny*

Overall pretty good, only thing I don't agree with is resigning Coyle. We have the money and draft position to field starting impact players and backup impact players.
