Dare to Dream...

Let's see...dare to dream...

In Free Agency we sign CB Josh Norman, FS Eric Berry, RT Andre Smith, OC Alex Mack, ILB Derrick Johnson.

In the draft we trade down with Dallas and get back bang for our buck (#4 overall, there 2nd and 3rd round picks plus a 1st in 2017.

At #4 in round 1 we take DB Jalen Ramsey.
With our pick in round 2, I take RB Ezekiel Elliot.
With Dallas' pick in round 2 I trade back to mid of round 2 and give up a 4th to get another 3rd.
With my mid 2nd, I take OG Cody Whitehair or Vadal Alexander depending on our coach.
At the top of the 3rd, I take SS Jayron Kearse.
I trade Dallas' 2nd round pick in 2017 for a 3rd in 2016. With that pick I take WR/QB Braxton Miller.
With my mid 3rd round pick I take ILB Scooby Wright.
We have no 4th round pick.
In round 5, I grab OLB Devonte Fields.
In Round 6 I grab ILB Antonio Morrison.
In Round 7 I grab RB/WR Byron Marshall.

I'm ready for my GM interview now...

 

Thanks for catching that. I wasn't gonna list the whole roster but Cobb was definitely supposed to be listed. It was 4am...I must have accidentally erased him by accident.

Definitely would need to trim the RB group but coming off of free agency and the draft, that's a pretty good group.

Marshall is there as an alternative for McCluster and gives out OC...if a Kelly or McDaniels more options with quick small hard to track wr/RB types. Think Amendola and Shane Vereen in the passing game.

Clearly we would not keep Sankey, Cobb, and Andrews if we got Elliot. This would be tweaked depending on who our HC, OC and DC are. So this was a simple exercise to see how much of a change we could make.

 

Why? We have invested a 1 (Wright), and 2 seconds (DGB and Hunter), plus a solid vet in Douglas. Adding Braxton Miller with DGB's improvement gives us a nice receiving threat, and that's ignoring Hunters potential. We would also have McCluster and Marshall out of the backfield or in the slot. Frankly, that's a lot more talented group than what the Pats have. Adding in a better run game and the passing game also improves synergistically!

 

Was thinking of a late round player Chip or McDaniels could use well. Marshall already knows Chips offense and reminds me of a Shane Vereen type. He could be a slot wr and a change of pace back. Of course, if we had a different coach aka Hue Jackson, we'd grab someone else unless they were looking for a cheaper version of McCluster.

 

This is why I run it by you guys first. The Titans org would never have caught that!!!

This was a way for me to see how big of a change we could somewhat realistically make. Now I get another 6th round pick? Excellent!

Actually, I think I figured that into the trade for the extra third round pick but didn't write it in. It was like 4am
