Here are the rules:

You have to use this mock draft. http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2009.php

You are allowed to make one FA signing from this list. http://www.footballsfuture.com/freeagents.html

Put together your mock offseason. 1 FA and the first 3 rounds. If you want to get creative and put trades in they have to be explained and realistic. If you say that the 49ers are going to trade up to the #3 spot, then you have to explain what they gave up and who they traded up to draft.

Sign Vilma as FA.

The only problem with Vilma is that he is ideally suited in a Cover 2. Who knows whether the new coach will change schemes?

That would be why the new coaching staff needs to come in prior to FA.

They will.

FA doesn't start until March 1st, IIRC.

Who else as far as pass rushers or talented DE's will be available for FA? I know of Suggs and Peppers, anyone else that might be a poor mans version of one of these two. I really like the idea of picking up Orakpo and Suggs and then Mack in the second. I just wonder if we shouldn't pickup a MLB in the third round and give Herbie or Richardson a legit shot at the RT position

aturnis · 12-22-2008, 08:43 PM

We drafted Mitchell in the 2nd and look how he turned out? Now he's getting paid more than he deserves. What makes you think that a 3rd round MLB would be a good pick?

aturnis · 12-24-2008, 11:20 PM

I went ahead and restructured Larry Johnson's deal after telling him his role would be limited and this is his chance out. Traded him to Cincinnati for their 3rd round choice.

Here we go...

FA: Vilma

1st - Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest

2nd - George Selvie, DE, South Florida

3rd - Shonn Greene, RB, Iowa

3rd (from Cinci) - Fenuki Tupou, OT, Oregon

4th - Eric Wood, C, Louisville (He wasn't taken by the end of the 3rd in this mock. I figured the Chiefs would have a good shot at him.)

All should be able to become instant starters for this team. If not immediate upgrades.

You depth chart it out...

chiefs99 · 12-26-2008, 07:54 AM

swap 1st round picks with GB and get brian brohm

FA: suggs

1. Rey Maualuga LB USC
2. Phil Loadholt G OKLAHOMA
3. shonn greene RB IOWA

I'll play.

Using the updated Walter's mock from December 25th.

They still just have one QB in the first round, and he (Stafford) is gone at #1.

My FA pick-up under this scenario would be Cassel from NE.

Trade down from #3 with Philly for #18, #29, and #50. (the point chart doesn't quite match up, but what the heck)

#18 Spikes ILB Florida
#29 Hardy DE Georgia
#34 Cushing OLB USC (it shows him going at #33 so maybe a slight trade up would be needed to grab him here)
#50 Johnson G LSU
#67 Caldwell C Alabama

**The Franchise** · 01-01-2009, 04:01 PM

Since the draft order is finally set.....

GM - Eric DeCosta
HC - Rex Ryan
OC - Chan Gailey
DC - Clarence Brooks (Ravens DL Coach)

QBs coach - Price
DB coach - Gibbs

I won't be doing any trades though.

FA - Terrell Suggs DE

1st - Aaron Curry - OLB/ILB - Wake Forest

**** it.....I'll take him at #3. I wouldn't be drafting him to play OLB though. I'd take him and plug him in at the MLB spot and move DJ to the Will spot. DeMorrio Williams isn't the answer in the other LB spot though...so I'd probably be looking for another LB in this years draft.

2nd - George Selvie - DE - USF

I know I grabbed Suggs in FA but our DE's are horrid to say the least. LB and DE are huge holes going into this offseason....and I just filled most of the spots. Hali and McBride just became the rotational players that they should be.

3rd - Antoine Caldwell - C - Alabama

Fenuki Tupou was taken in the 2nd round....so I can't take him here (even though I think we could get him in the top of the 3rd). Caldwell would immediately take over at the Center spot and allow Niswanger to kick over to the RG spot. That fills two holes on the offensive line with 1 pick. RT is now the only need for this line.
