Post Tyreek Trade Mock

[Couch-Potato]

FA Signing DE Clowney 2yrs ~$10m per

#15 WR Williams (Trade #30 + #62 + 2023 4th)
#29 DT Leal
#50 DE Williams
#94 LB Walker
#103 DB Bryant
#121 DE Malone
#135 S Cross
7th RB Ealy
7th LB Clark (Spinal Surgery)
7th WR Gray
7th OT C Jones


Trade-up? I'm using some of those Tyreek picks to nab a star WR for 5 yrs in London or Williams. We have enough picks to target talent, and enough talent to be patient and wait for Williams to get healthy. Maybe he's as low as our #4 WR on the depth chart this year, but he's #1 next year.

The fanship wants DT Wyatt, but I think he goes before #29 and the truth is he only had 5 sacks in 4 years on an absolutely LOADED DL. Leal will likely be there for us at the end of the 1st, had 8.5 sacks last year, and is being compared to C Jones. Put the two of them together and they could be seriously disruptive. If it has to be DE I like Karlaftis or Ojabo.

At #50 I'm assuming here that Mafe, Ebekitie, and Thomas are gone and I'm choosing between S Williams and Enagbare. Both fit the size spags covets in a DE, Enagbare is 3rd in pressure rating in this years draft and Sam Williams had 12.5 sacks last year. Either is good with me, I'm going with Williams production.

Quay Walker completes or amazing LB Core, or maybe Muma. I'd be happy with JoJo or Anderson as well. If I can, I'm nabbing LB Clark from LSU in the 7th before he hits UDFA as a luxury pick, or maybe OLB Allen from Alabama who I think had some off-the-field stuff.

I'm going DE again a little later in the draft. I really like Malone's versatility or Isaiah Thomas' Production. We can use either as a designated pass rusher type on 3rd downs. Emerson, Bryant, Jones, and Cross are my DB targets if we can get them with those 3rd or 4th rd picks. I know Veach doesn't like to spend too high on DBs in the draft.

After that, I'm hoping Ealy is there as a new return guy with similar skills to CEH, and I'm picking the best available WR and OL depth. I'd be curious if there's anyone with a quality starting RT that would be willing to trade for a future pick, or maybe a former 1st round RB if he doesn't show some sparks early this season.

Ultimately, I picked Tyreek's replacement and Chris Jones' twin in the first. Clowney brings exactly what we need with over a 25% Pass Rush Win %, compared to Frank Clark's sub 5% Pass Rush Win %. I solidified the defense in rounds 2-4, and used our late picks on quality depth.

I think i'm in the small group leaning towards going up for a WR. I know it's not popular but i really don't want to see this WR group with a rookie that's only 50-50 to work out

Agreed. I want a star to replace Tyreek, fastest way to forget he's gone is to replace him.

I love this! I’m a jameson homer but I like getting a dt early as long as it isn’t Jones. I like Winfrey at dt from Oklahoma but I’m not sure he’s worth a 1st round pick. I love Williams de in the 2nd. I’m not a clowney fan but he’s probably our best option at this point.

Trading up to 15 to take Williams? No thanks.

Might require getting as high as #11 if we want Williams, or maybe he falls all the way to #29 lol who knows?

Yep. As much as I think the rest of it looks okay, that's a thing I wouldn't want or do.

I'm essentially Trading Tyreek for 2 years of Clowney, 4.5 years of J Williams on a rookie contract, a 3rd, a 5th, plus some additional cap space. If Williams is near as productive as Waddle, or close to as explosive as Tyreek, that's not a terrible deal... Amari Cooper was traded for a 5th and 6th ONLY.

Actually, that's an interesting scenario, had MIA offered Ogbah, Waddle, a 3rd, and a 5th, would we have been interested? I think we would have.

...note that Clowney is a better pass rusher than Ogbah, and you'd get an extra 1/2 year on J Williams contract over Waddle's.

Not great considering ESPN has us standing still and drafting Williams at #29 lol

Trading up for a WR sounds good, until i really look at them. There are some really good recievers but i just dont see any one guy worth going up for because i just dont see a massive drop off or a major stand out i guess. Then you factor in that said reciever will probably be lucky to see 50% of snaps in Reids offense, it just doesnt make sense.

When you say you don’t see a major drop off? Do you mean that their isn’t much difference bn olave, burks or jameson from Dotson, Christian Watkins or Pickens? Because I’m the opposite, I see either the risk or the athletic ability as a huge drop from the 1st group from the 2nd.

Theres obvious differences but imo its not like theres only two first round caliber guys and theres no obvious Calvin Johnson.

I've been playing with the simulators all morning and I really think we're taking a WR early.

The wave 1 and 2 guys all go off the board before 50. The DE's, on the other hand, last well into the 3rd round many times.

If we want a guy like Sanders or Ebikite, they'll be there later.

Agreed, let's target a true star #1 WR. I like London as well, and he wouldn't need half a year to get healthy like Williams.
