Matthias' Mock Offseason 2014 (2)

Let's get to it....

 

 

 

Free Agents:

 

 

Charles Tillman

So this is a carry over from my last mock.  Tillman is a great corner who is excellent at getting turnovers.  This guy will definitely sure up our secondary in the corner department.  With money being tight and we needing to resign some guys, Tillman will be our only big free agent, and perhaps he won't cost a whole bunch being a veteran looking for a ring.

Pretty good stuff. Would be nice if fantasies could come true. lol at a 7th round rookie ahead if tolbert on the depth chart

Sent from my SCH-I545 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

 

It's not as it looks.  As things stand right now, we know Tolbert isn't a full back for this team.  He is more of our running back.

I don't mind this at all but I would like to see a Tight end draft instead of that third guard, just because we have two young guards on IR right now who will be back next year to compete for those spots, an although we have Some developing talent at tight end, I don't think anyone can argue that cam will be even better on short yardage situations with a second Recieving tight end.

Love to see if we could make a move at Tillman. Like Verner a lot and he 'was' an underrated corner but not no more. I believe he will be the hottest and highest paid corner this offseason.

Like the first so picks a lot. Atm, I think we all are leaning toward Matthews due to where we may be picking. Hopefully we can land Hurst but I got a feeling he will be long gone by our pick.

I'm pretty sure we don't have a 6th round pick this year.

I love the Matthews pick. So much.

We don't need Peanut, he doesn't fit the mold of what we need at corner. We need a strong, stout, press cover corner, and peanut is not that. 5 nickels does not equal 4 quarters.

I doubt James hurst will be there in the 2nd, he's probably a late first rounder/early second. He's good. I would love to get him if he were there, though.

Can't see us giving up on Kenjon Barner this soon. I believe DeAngelo will be gone this off-season and we will roll into next season with Tolbert, Stewart, and Barner. I doubt we draft a FB. Rather use that on a raw secondary depth. 

 

 

Yeah we probably won't give up on Barner.  Is it possible for him to be placed on the practice squad next year?

It definitely seems the two tight end system is being employed more and more around the league.  Of course Cam had it his first year here with Shockey and Olsen.  I guess the way I feel about it, if you have one great receiving tight end, that should be enough.  I remember Rivera saying something a year ago about why we didn't resign Shockey, was because of Tolbert.  Tolbert is pretty good at catching the ball, so I guess Rivera uses him as that kind of second tight end receiver.

 

I really really want a line that can flat out dominate next year. I'm not confident in guys like Amini and Kugz.  Wharton isn't getting any younger, and Chandler is something of a wildcard. (He could ultimately be a great G and T for that matter, but that remains to be unseen)  I hope we bring in a lot of competition in the offseason and hammer out two outstanding starting guards.

I'm hoping Hurst slips through the cracks because of the team he plays for.  North Carolina is not really known for it's football team, yet I suppose not knowing about a player because of their team is a mistake that would be made by fans but not a NFL GM looking for talent.  Yet there are a lot of tackles in this draft I feel would be a better option than Bell has been for us. (Bell just can't get any push in the running game)

Tillman can excel in any coverage be it press, man to man, or zone.  Of course as we know, he can force a lot of turnovers.  In eight game this year, he had 3 ints and 3 FFs.  The best thing about him however, is his familiarity with Rivera.  Ron was the Bears defensive coordinator from 2004-2006, that last year having the Bears in the superbowl.  So Tillman would fit in to Ron's defense.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
