Barnwell: Every NFL team's most likely candidate for post-draft trade or cut


TheCasillas

Recommended Posts

Duke Johnson - very, very interested. Would be a great backup for CMC

Karl Joseph - more of a SS but guy is talented and gruden has shown that he is casting off former regime players that are still talented. 

Janoris Jenkins - we need some good CB help. Jenkins is more of an outside guy but he could play NB I think. 

Brandon Fusco- LG is still a huge question mark. TBH not sure if this guy is any better than Van Roten or a hobbled Daryl Williams 

Arik Armstead - former first round pick, we could always use more quality d-line depth. 

 

Unlikely we end up with any of these guys, but Johnson and Jenkins intrigue me the most

I was trying to figure his out...a lot of Raiders fans were saying they should play him in his natural position, which would be FS. But maybe that’s why they are fans and not coaches.

So is the general consensus that he’s better suited at SS?

If the Browns want too much for Johnson, Theo Riddick would make a nice consolation price and has a game similar to Johnson and CMC.

CJ Prosise is another option but I'm less familiar with him.

SS was the position he seemed most suited to play coming out of college. It's definitely possible, however, that he has looked better at FS vs. SS and I am out touch. I'd DEFINITELY consider him, even trading for him if he can play FS well

Prosise looked fantastic coming out of college and actually is very similar to CMC. problem is the dude can't stay on the field

in his defense Seattle did run him into the ground. They couldn't keep a RB healthy on their roster to save their lives.

Keep in mind when you're talking about position fit that Ron Rivera is one of those guys who believes the safety positions are basically interchangeable.

I think that's crap, but it's Ron's way of thinking and you have to account for it.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
