    Pittsburgh Steelers

    QB
    Ben Roethlisberger $900,000 (restructured from 6.35M on 2/23/12)
    Curtis Painter $300,000
    Position Total: $1,200,000
    Position Analysis: With an elite QB in his prime, the Steelers felt they simply needed an adequate backup who if called upon could manage the offense.

    RB
    Marshawn Lynch $5,400,000
    Jahvid Best $640,500
    Mike Goodson $565,000
    Isaac Redman $745,000
    Davin Meggett $300,000
    Position Total: 7,650,500
    Position Analysis:The Steelers felt having runners with contrasting styles would greatly benefit them. Lynch, Goodson and Redman are tough runners while Best and Meggett will add an element of elusiveness and speed. Meggett and Redman also add an element of special teams.

    TE
    Heath Miller $3,807,332
    Ed Dickson $490,000
    Martellus Bennett $1,200,000
    TE Julius Thomas $465,000
    Position Total5,962,332
    Position Analysis: Miller is the unquestioned starter as he is the most complete blocker and receiver of the group. Dickson and Thomas are guys that can threaten the seems. With no starting FB and a 2 TE set being used the majority of the time Miller will be on the field with Dickson and Bennett with Thomas as the Steelers generally want a strong blocker with a strong receiver.

    WR
    Antonio Brown $490,000
    Marvin Jones $450,000
    Dwight Jones $450,000
    Emmanuel Sanders $490,000
    Mike Wallace RFA - Exclusive-Rights Franchise Tag: $11,901,250
    Titus Young $465,000
    Position Total: $14,246,250
    Position Analysis: Wallace and Brown are the unquestioned starters here as both had 1,000 yard seasons last year. Rookies Dwight Jones and Marvin Jones are their backups. Dwight adds and element of size that the Steelers needed while Marvin Jones we believe to be a player who can develop in to a #1 WR. Working out of the slot will be 2nd year acquisition Titus Young and Emmanuel Sanders who is a slippery route runner who creates separation that way.

    OL
    Rob Sims $1,500,000
    Jake Scott $2,000,000
    Marcus Gilbert $465,000
    Ben Grubbs $9,500,000
    Maurkice Pouncey $666,125
    Adam Snyder $300,000
    Derek Sherrod $675,091
    Levi Brown $1,150,000
    Position Total:16,256,246
    Position Analysis: Derek Sherrod, acquired from GB, will be the starting LT. He played solid as a rookie and we believe he is ready for the move. Should he falter, Marcus Gilbert would be next in line though we dont really believe that will happen. Gilbert in the meantime had a very strong year as a rookie RT and will man the same position this year. Pouncey returns for a 3rd season as the starting center. The guards are all new with FA signings Ben Grubbs and Jake Scott. Grubbs is a multi-time pro bowl selection while Scott is one of the most underrated guards in the league. I probably overpaid for Grubbs but I had like 13M in cap at the time and figured why not because it wasnt getting used any other way. Trade acquisition Rob Sims will provide adequate depth as he is capable of starting for most teams at either LG or RG. Levi Brown and Adam Snyder are simply depth.

    DL
    Brett Keisel $2,825,000
    Torell Troup $490,000
    Alex Carrington $490,000
    Kendall Langford $4,400,000
    Cameron Heyward $465,000
    Paul Soliai $3,200,000
    Steve McClendon $745,000
    Casey Hampton $1,200,000
    Position Total: $13,625,000
    Positional Analysis: The defensive line for Pittsburgh underwent an overhaul as the GM was intent on bringing in new players, getting younger, and more talented. With Casey Hampton not exactly a spring chicken, he was cut and resigned to a cheaper rate while free agent Paul Soliai was a priority signing to man the NT position. Terrell Troup was acquired to be his backup with Hampton 3rd string. Brett Kiesel remains at one end while Kendall Langford joins his ex-Dolphin Teammate in Pittsburgh. Langford is a very solid run stuffing end while Kiesel mans the open end spot with 2nd year man Cameron Heyward breathing down his neck for the starting role. Alex Carrington had a fine rookie year in Buffalo and was brought in to challenge Langford and provide adequate depth.

    DB
    Curtis Brown $465,000
    Ike Taylor $825,000 (Restructured from 6.25M, see GIK thread)
    Andre Goodman $1,600,000
    Alfonzo Dennard $550,000
    Aaron Ross $1,100,000
    Trevin Wade $300,000
    Dwight Lowery $300,000
    Sam Shields $490,000
    Michael Griffin $7,000,000
    Troy Polamalu $6,250,000
    Position Total: $18,880,000
    Position Analysis: Getting younger and faster in the secondary was a priority in Pittsburgh. Ike Taylor restructured his deal to remain a Steeler and should hold down one starting spot while Sam Shields is a place holder until Alfonzo Dennard is ready to start. Aaron Ross and Andre Goodman will handle slot duties in front of developmental depth such as Curtis Brown and Trevin Wade. The safeties are the best in the league with free agent Michael Griffin joining Troy Polamalu. Dwight Lowery was one of the steals of free agency as he is a more then adequate free safety for most teams.

    LB
    Jerry Hughes $635,000
    Keith Brooking $300,000
    Brooks Reed $465,000
    Bradie James $300,000
    Whitney Mercilus $800,000
    Lamarr Woodley $700,000 (Contract restructured from 3.4M)
    James Farrior $600,000
    Donald Butler $490,000
    Position Total: $4,290,000
    Position Analysis: The Steelers finally tired of James Harrison's antics and so he is no longer here. Remaining is stud OLB Lamarr Woodley who always produces. Brooks Reed, Whitney Mercilus, and Jerry Hughes are all fresh faces at OLB. Reed had a strong rookie year in Houston. Hughes is a reclamation project from Indy as a converted 4-3 DE who will learn the OLB position, one we believe he is better suited for rather then 4-3 DE. Pittsburgh also believes they have a steal in Whitney Mercilus as he was the nations top pass rusher last year against solid competition. We considered Mercilus the top pass rusher in the draft. Inside, youngster Donald Butler will man one spot while vets Bradie James, Keith Brooking and James Farrior will contribute as well. Coverage could be a problem, run stuffing will not be.

    ST
    Matt Prater $300,000
    Jeremy Kapinos $300,000
    Position Total $600,000
    Position Analysis: For Punters and Kickers? Is that really necessary? Theyre above average, thats all we need to worry about.

    Total: $82,890,328
    Available Cap: $2,109,672

    Players under contract: 53

    2012 NEW YORK JETS



    Quarterbacks ($7,700,000)

    Mark Sanchez, $3,250,000
    Alex Smith (FA) $4,100,000
    Ryan Lindley (R), San Diego State $350,000

    Analysis: Mark Sanchez struggled last year, and needs competition which is why Alex Smith was brought in. Smith brings a lot of experience as a starter and finally played well enough to take the 49ers to the NFC Conference game. He's a more than capable backup that will have the Jets not miss a beat in case of injury or benching of Sanchez.

    Ryan Lindley has good size and a nice arm that translates to the pros, but his accuracy will keep him as a project, similar to a guy I took last year just without the running ability.

    Running Backs ($8,139,800)

    Bilal Powell, $465,000
    Peyton Hillis $6,524,800
    Chris Rainey (R), Florida $450,000
    Ronnie Hillman (R), San Diego State $350,000
    Terrance Ganaway (R), Baylor $350,000

    Analysis: I wasn't a fan of Shonn Greene or the backfield. I brought in Hillis who had a down year for a sixth round pick, which should be a good gamble. Ronnie Hillman has been compared to Sproles, but I think he can turn out to be another Ray Rice, where they thought he was too small but should surprise with his speed. Ganaway is a powerback who I hope could become a feature back if the other options don't work out, for now we'll try him at fullback similar to a Reuben Droughns type.

    Chris Rainey will be lined up all over the field, and see most of his time as a return man. Bilal Powell will have to work for playing time.

    Wide Receivers ($12,580,000)

    Santonio Holmes, $7,750,000
    Santana Moss $3,150,000
    Jeremy Kerley, $465,000
    Julian Edelman (Trade) $565,000
    Junior Hemingway (R), Michigan $350,000
    Gerell Robinson (UDFA-R), Arizona State $300,000

    Analysis: Holmes is still the number one guy and Kerley will be the slot man as he really developed last year in that role. Moss will play the second receiver spot but could lose out to a bigger Junior Hemingway who should offer up something different as a possession receiver. Robinson is a big receiver who was productive in college, so I hope he can come in and challenge for some playing time and maybe become a starter in a few seasons.

    Tight Ends ($5,152,500)

    Dustin Keller, $1,052,500
    Chris Cooley (Trade) $3,800,000
    Brandon Bostick (UDFA-R), Newberry $300,000

    Analysis: Dustin Keller remains the number one option here as he was the most reliable pass catcher for the Jets last season. Cooley comes in as our H-Back who can do a little blocking and receiving, he'll see time at fullback with Terrance Ganaway as well.

    Brandon Bostick is a small school prospect who is a poor man's Aaron Hernandez which should bring us another dimension to the offense as we could always use a bigger body to split outside and catch some passes.

    Offensive Line ($15,835,700)

    D'Brickashaw Ferguson, $985,000
    Matt Slauson, $565,000
    Nick Mangold, $2,334,700
    Brandon Moore, $2,750,000
    Trent Williams (FA) $6,750,000
    Jeff Backus (FA) $451,000
    Dan Connolly (FA) $1,200,000
    Matt McCants (R), UAB $350,000
    Ben Jones (R), Georgia $450,000

    Analysis: The offensive line remain mostly intact, we've upgraded the right side with Trent Williams who offers an elite bookend as someone who can play left tackle as well, but has experience playing on the right at the college level. Jeff Backus is a tough player that has started all 172 games he's played and offers insurance if either starting tackles get hurt.

    Dan Connolly offers versatility at all three interior line positions, and showed he can plug in and start when needed as seen when Koppen went down for the Patriots. Ben Jones will be Mangold's primary backup as the Jets struggled when he was out last season. Jones will also see time at guard as well and could start if Slauson struggles. Matt McCants is a backup right tackle and a project player, he can also back up in the marching band as needed.

    Defensive Line ($9,912,500)

    Muhammad Wilkerson, $687,500
    Sione Pouha $4,000,000
    Mike Devito, $1,960,000
    Kenrick Ellis, $465,000
    Adam Carriker $1,100,000
    Brandon Thompson (R), Clemson $550,000
    Chandler Jones (R), Syracuse $450,000
    Matt Conrath (R), Virginia $350,000
    Nicolas Jean-Baptiste (R), Baylor $350,000

    Analysis: One of the strengths of the team last year, my top priority was to resign Pouha as he was one of the best run stuffing nose tackles last year. Devito and Wilkerson return to their starting roles at defensive end, and Ellis continues to develop. Adam Carriker has really started to come into his own as a defensive end for the Redskins last season, and brings in depth just in case injuries take their toll on Devito once again.

    Brandon Thompson is another big body that will be used as a run stuffer at defensive end, but will get looks at nose tackle as well. Chandler Jones will have to add some more weight and will give us more of a pure pass rusher at the end position and could see time at outside linebacker. Conrath has a long body and arms and will help try and block kicks on special teams where he has had a bit of success. Jean-Baptiste is raw talent that will sit behind Pouha and Ellis and learn.

    Linebackers ($9,740,000)

    Calvin Pace, $3,085,000
    Aaron Maybin (RFA) $955,000
    Bryan Thomas, $300,000
    Dan Connor (FA) $500,000
    Shawne Merriman (Trade) $4,000,000
    Dont'a Hightower (R), Alabama $550,000
    Tank Carder (R), TCU $350,000

    Analysis: An underachieving unit that needed some tweaks, unfortunately I had to jettison my best linebacker based on salary issues. Bryan Thomas was resigned to man the left outside linebacker position where he has been successful. We'll once again rely on a rotation of players at the rush linebacker position where Aaron Maybin showed some ability and hopefully Merriman can come back offer a little of the old Lights Out as well. Calvin Pace is the projected starter in front of Maybin and Merriman but could get moved to the opposite side as well.

    Dan Connor showed that he can be a solid starter as a pro and will take Bart Scott's position. Dont'a Hightower will have to replace David Harris but I know he'll be a solid pro with a lot of different skills to offer, definitely a leader. I like Hightower as much as I did Demeco Ryans coming out and he was the only linebacker I was looking at this draft. Tank Carder will backup both Connor and Hightower.

    Defensive Backs ($12,037,000)

    Darrelle Revis, $4,500,000
    Antonio Cromartie, $3,800,000
    Kyle Wilson, $567,000
    Eric Smith, $1,200,000
    Walter Thurmond (Trade) $490,000
    Chris Conte (Trade) $465,000
    Chris Harris (Trade) $465,000
    Harrison Smith (R), Notre Dame $550,000

    Analysis: The cornerback position is set with the same starters, Kyle Wilson will be our nickel corner. The safety position will see a makeover as Chris Harris who showed he was a hard hitting corner will start at the strong safety position where he played his senior year in college but might still see time at nickel as we feel he could take over Cromartie's starting spot down the line.

    Eric Smith struggled at free safety last year, which prompted us to bring in Chris Conte but for insurance we drafted Harrison smith who will be the projected starter for now. If Conte takes a big leap forward you could see Harrison Smith moving into the starting role at Strong Safety and Chris Harris back into the nickel corner and replacement for Cromartie in the next season or two.

    Special Teams ($1,051,000)

    LS Zak DeOssie (FA) $300,000
    K Nick Folk $300,000
    P Dustin Colquitt (FA) $451,000

    Analysis: Zak DeOssie was a team captain for the Giants and brings a steady hand to the long snapper position and lead our special teams in tackles. Nick Folk was good last year, and keeps his job. Dustin Colquitt is one of the more reliable punters but has fallen back some especially compared to his brother but is still one of the top punters.

    Depth Chart:

    Offense

    QB
    Aaron Rodgers
    Russel Wilson
    Scott Tolzien

    QB - One of the leagues best is Rodgers, then we get Wilson in the draft who is a qb that is extremely talented and has all the tools we are really excited to get him. Tolzien is a guy that we think provides solid insurance and has a good head on his shoulders.

    RB
    James Starks
    John Clay
    Knowshon Moreno
    Alex Green

    RB - We believe we added versatility, with both power and speed and will use all four backs depending on flow of the game

    FB
    John Kuhn

    FB - John Kuhn returns and is a s solid as they come

    TE
    Jermichael Finley
    Andrew Quarless
    Ryan Taylor

    TE - we love Finley and are excited he is back, Quarles and Taylor are 2 young TE with alot of talent


    RT
    Zebrie Sanders
    Barry Richardson

    RG
    Josh Sitton
    Tony Bergstrom

    C
    Samson Satele
    Evan Dietrich-Smith

    LG
    TJ Lang
    Tony Bergstrom

    LT
    Marshall Newhouse
    Zebrie Sanders

    OL - we believe we added some depth and future stars to an oline that will be able to gel together. We were sad to see Wells go but cap constraints limited our ability to pay him. We believe that Satele isnt Wells but is a capable replacement in our system.


    WR
    Greg Jennings
    Josh Morgan
    James Jones
    Randall Cobb
    Dane Sanzenbacher

    WR - Well we parted with an asset in Jordy to help the team overall, but believe that Josh Morgan is a solid #2 and Randall Cobb is ready to assume a larger role in our offense. Jennings is still a stud and our #1.

    PK
    Mason Crosby


    LS
    Brett Goode


    Defense

    DE
    Athaya Rubin
    CJ Wilson

    NT
    BJ Raji
    Kheeston Randall
    Johnny Jones

    DE
    Jabaal Sheard
    Antonio Smith
    Mike Neal

    DLine - we believe that we fortified our dline trememndously with aquiring Rubin and Sheard, and Antonio Smith in trade and are excited about Kheeston Randall in the draft. we believe the dline will be a strength along with our lbers.


    OLB
    Clay Matthews
    Chris Carter
    Ronnell Lewis


    ILB
    Jamar Chaney
    Desmond Bishop

    ILB
    AJ Hawk
    Mychal Kendricks

    OLB
    Brad Jones
    Ronnell Lewis
    Russell Allen

    LBers - We believe thru FA and the draft that we added talent to significaantly help AJ and Clay and now along with dline we are stout in teh front 7 and can apply pressure as well as defend the run.

    CB
    Charles Woodson
    Casey Hayward


    SS
    Morgan Burnett
    MD Jennings


    FS
    Nick Collins - Injured
    Brandon Hardin
    Charlie Peprah


    CB
    Tramon Williams
    Davon House

    DBs - Nick Collins is a Packer, while there is concern over his future, he is family and will be a Packer, we believe that Brandon Harden is a player that is an athlete and can compete if Nick isnt able to go. Charles Prepah is also here as well. Our cbs are solid and Burnett is as good as it gets.

    Overall we believe that we addressed the areas that hurt us last year w/o losing the explosiveness that made us who we are.GM JMHPhin believes this will be proven once the games are played.

    All game aside, Thanks GIK and all that contributed to running this league, taking care of a team is alot of work, fun, but alot of time. To do what you all do, you all get my vote

    Started as GM midway thru the season after free agency had already cooled off. So, the only thing you can really grade me on is the draft although I like a couple of the trades I made (all pro Chris Snee and Perry Riley... Riley is a player!). Starters are in blue.

    HC Tony Sparano- Before I hired Tony I made it very clear that his role as a HC will be strictly a scheduling and a motivating one, he will have zero authority as far as playcalling on either side of the ball. He has 2 specialists at their craft beneath him so his input is not needed, he just gets to hold the red challenge flag.

    OC Josh McDaniels- Josh can run an offense pretty damn well, Bill welcomed him back with open arms for a reason.

    DC Keith Butler- I'm a huge fan of the 3-4 and an even huger fan of coaches who specialize in it. Butler has run the type of 3-4 that I like and that is effective so I was excited to make him a Ram.


    2011 Rams
    Offense: 31st ranked in the NFL and 32nd ranked in the league with 12.1 points per game!
    Defense: 26th ranked in the NFL and 25th ranked in the league allowing 25.4 points per game.



    2012 Offseason plan

    This is a team that was flat out pathetic last season. 0-6 in the division and finding the endzone was a rarity. But when I took over this team I didnt feel like it needed a complete overhaul just some leadership and depth since the Rams were bitten hard by the injury bug. The offensive line had some pretty expensive guys that played flat out horrible, lost their best WR and Bradford's fav target in Amendola the very first game, and had 14, yes 14 different starting DB's last season. So to me it was about adding talented guys to the team and depth because the 2011 Rams didnt have much of either.

    Offensive Philosophy

    Balance. To me unless you have Brees, Brady or Rodgers you have to have a balanced offense. Bradford is a franchise QB and while many think he will be a top 5-6 QB sooner than later as of now he needs some help. Steven Jackson provides a dangerous threat at RB and it has always been my opinion that you need players who all compliment each other well. I have always aimed to acquire a slot WR who can work the zones and beat a LB with sharp cuts and plays smart, you need a WR who can stretch the defense...you dont want the S to be able to cheat in you want him to worry about helping the CB, and you need a WR who can get open on just about every route in your arsenal and that is your #1. Versatile TE's has also been something I have looked for every year I have been a GM, the position is changing...a TE can be a matchup nightmare for the opposition. The top 3 offenses last year? Here is a quick list of their TE's: Finley, Hernandez, Gronkowski, Graham, it's no accident. We plan on running a single back set with option's for Bradford to split his TE out or stay inside depending on what he see's at the LOS. But for all these WANTS out of an offense you simply have to have protection. If your QB only gets about 2.5 seconds per dropback I dont care if your Tom Brady, your offense will not be effective. And if every time you get a handoff you have to make the 1st guy miss to gain a yard? i dont care if your Steven Jackson, you wont have much success. A solid OL is the oil that allows your engine to run I perfer a Zone blocking scheme so I need smart OL who work hard on every play. With that being said....here is your new and improved Rams offense.



    QB

    Sam Bradford- There is little doubt that most believe Bradford will be a very good QB but his offensive line truely put a dent in his progress. After a promising rookie year Bradford was sacked 34 times in just 9.5 games! That my friends is a bad situation, with an improved OL, more weapons, and his fav WR back in the lineup Sam is ready to show why the Rams were able to be sellers with the #2 overall pick and pass on a talent like RGIII.


    RB

    Steven Jackson- I will be honest with you, I didnt give this man enough credit initially. On the surface I assumed he was a beat up aging back with a high cap # and someone who was likely to be replaced. Then I looked deeper....and came away impressed. With no passing game and a fore mentioned HORRIBLE OL, Steven Jackson still managed an 1,100 yard season and averaged 4.4 YPC. With those surroundings? Mr Jackson? At 28 years old, your staying on my football team. Also Jackson has missed 2 starts in 3 years, so the durability question has been answered.

    TE's

    Lance Kendricks- Lance was a rookie last season for the Rams and also fell victim to the poor OL play, forced to stay in and block more than a rookie should have to, Kendricks still showed flashes of what he can do when given the chance.

    Ladaruis Green- With the revamped OL we will have the option of using our TE as another WR on passing plays, Green made a number of big plays in college and many people have compared him to Jermichael Finley. Getting both TE's on the field at the same time in certain formations will be dangerous for the opposition.


    WR's

    Brandon Lloyd- Traded to the Rams in the middle of the year Brandon was the lone bright spot in the passing game. In his career 27 starts (less than 2 seasons) here are Lloyd's carren numbers under McDaniels.... 128 catches, 2,131 yards, 16 TD's, I think it's safe to say that Josh and Brandon are a pretty good marriage.

    Brandon Gibson/Ted Ginn- Whoever wins this job will be my WR that can keep your S honest, I give a slight edge to Gibson who has connected with Bradford on some impressive plays the past 2 seasons, and Ginn when called upon can beat any CB deep (Hi Revis) but the only QB he has ever had with the arm to get him deep was too afraid to make a mistake. I'll be confident in either guy's ability to get loose.

    Danny Amendola- Coming off a season where Danny had 2,000+ all purpose yardage and 85 receptions, Amendola broke his forearm in the 1st game of the season. Bradfords most reliable target was gone that fast. But when your an undrafted 5'10 185 lb guy with little speed and you still become as good of a player that Danny is? An injury to your forearm certainly wont hold you down for too long. Every Rams fan should be very happy to see this kid return in the slot.


    OL

    LT Will Svatek- When Sam Baker went down in stepped the 29 year old Svatek, and all he did was grade out as one of the best LT's in football the rest of the season. When Baker was healthy it didnt matter, the Falcons found the ideal LT they had been looking for. I was very happy to acquire Will as he was perfect for what I wanted to do, and any doubt to his ability? Go ask Jared Allen and his 22 sacks and how he was shut out by big Will.

    LG Justin Blalock- Another Falcon who made his way to the Rams, here is what Gil Brandt had to say when he felt Justin was snubbed from the Pro Bowl "it's hard to find a better, more consistent player at his position. Blalock, who has started 76 career games, plays hard on every down and never makes mistakes."


    C-Chris Meyers- I knew the minute I looked at the roster Jason Brown and his overpaid behind was a goner, on to Chris Meyers who finally got his due and was selected to the Pro Bowl this past season. The 30 year old Meyers just does NOT give up sacks and anchored one of the best OL's in football last season. To further indicate his importance the Houston Texans against it vs the cap watched Mario Williams, Eric Winston walk and was forced to trade Dameco Ryans...yet resigned FA Chris Meyers to a 26 Million dollar deal with 14 of it guaranteed.


    RG Kyle Cook- Yet another solid blue collar OL, Cook has been a very good C for the Bengals the past 4 seasons but will be moved to RG where we fully expect him to flourish. Holding up well, when facing the Ravens and Steelers 4 times a season. We have little doubt Kyle cant play at a pro bowl level at RG.

    RT Harvey Dahl- When the incumbent Jason Smith was injured last season for the Rams, Dahl took over at RT and played his *** off. The only retained starter from last season Dahl was by himself as a good football player upfront, grading out as one of the best OL in all of football. I have a feeling Steven Jackson is off somewhere fist pumping at his brand new OL and not one of these guys is over 30.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    DEFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY

    As with my other defenses in GML history I want to attack, attack, attack. I will run an aggressive 3-4 and ALL of my LB's are threats to blitz at anytime. I want to put pressure on offenses 80% of the time so the other 20% you rush into mistakes because you expect it. Ive said before that IMO an average CB can look really good when his front 7 brings the heat. I will also run a 3-3-5 on alot of 3rd downs. I really like the depth I have ecspecially on the front 7 these guys will be kept pretty fresh.

    LDE Ryan Pickett
    Oft Injured in 2011 Pickett played well for the Packers SB team and transitioned from DT to DE fairly well. Ryan was franchised that same year and Im proud to say I got him for 400K.

    DT Dontari Poe
    Poe is a physical freak who on the surface may appear to some as your typical "workout warrior" but many scouts feel he is much more than that, praised for his humbleness and work ethic Poe will no doubt be penetrating the pocket for the Rams this season.

    RDE Peria Jerry
    Jerry must hold off veteran Ty Warren but what he brings to St Louis is a healthy knee, wich hasnt been the case any other year in his short career. Jerry has the potential to be a great 3-4 DE for me because he can penetrate and eat up blockers freeing up my LB's.

    SOLB LeRoy Hill
    Leroy is a 3 down LB who is very very good against the run and managed 4 sacks depite playing more in coverage than in rush. Hill can stunt outside or come flying through your B gaps, love his versatility.

    SILB E.J Henderson
    Will he be able to hold off the consistent Clark Haggans in TC? We will see, Henderson is strong in coverage as well as against the run.

    WILB James Lauranitis
    The Rams best defensive player a year ago, JL is a sideline to sideline LB who goes out and makes plays on a consistent basis, we expect a pro bowl birth for him this year.

    WOLB Robert Quinn
    Robert played well as a rookie in the 4-3 DE, was a disrupting force for QB's. Quinn who is only 21 years old has the speed and power to be a 12 sack OLB for us.

    CB Ron Bartell
    Bartell was the 1st of the starting Rams CB's to go down with a season ending injury, While he didnt catch alot of INT's Bartell did a very good job shadowing the oppositions #1 WR the past 3 seasons. We are confident he can continue to do that.

    CB Leon Hall
    Now this kid on the other hand makes big plays, he will gamble so it becomes a risk/reward but when you factor in his ability to play against the run he is a solid starter for our team.

    Nickle Bradley Fletcher/ Terrance Newman
    Fletcher vs Newman should be interesting, Fletcher is a solid consistent football player who you basically know what your getting...Newman has the talent and a new team and a demotion may humble him enough to return to his old self.

    SS Quinton Mikell
    Mikell showed why he got paid what he did in FA, he is a very good tackler and forced 5 fumbles last season...he struggled against the pass but I will attribute alot of that to the revolving door of CB's the Rams had last season. One can only imagine the blown coverages and miscommunications in that unit.

    FS Eric Weddle
    The 27 year old is starting to warrant talks as maybe the best young player at his position, teams continue to look at Eric Weddle and not be afraid, but the Pro Bowler just keeps making plays. In todays NFL your last line of defense is very important, so picking up Weddle was huge for this team.



    Summary
    I felt like I maximized my value when taking over the worst team in football who wasnt getting Andrew Luck, the team could still use a top 5 WR but Andre Johnson's dont grow on trees. Im most proud of my OL, a unit that allowed an NFL worst 55 sacks was in dire need of a makeover.....Im confident my new unit wont sniff that number and Steven Jackson will have a chance to have his best year yet. I also really like my depth on defense, 6 of my 8 LB's were starters in 2011 and the secondary now has stability and a few playmakers as compared to the years before. Is this the BEST team in the GML? No. But will this unit be 2-14 with 12 points scored per game and 25 allowed next year?? Not even close.

    Thanks for another fun year.

    Coaches

    Rex Ryan, HC
    Clyde Christensen, OC
    Dom Capers, DC

    Something just wasn't right with Norv Turner. He is a solid coach and the team had good talent. But he just wasn't quite getting everything he could from the team. So I decided to go with a guy seemingly much different than Turner. I also wanted to bring in Rex Ryan to help out a struggling defense, who along with Dom Capers should bring stability and aggressiveness to the team. Initially, the plan was to let Clyde Christensen and Philip Rivers have a lot of freedom to do what they felt comfortable with. But as I'll explain, we changed the plan. Regardless, Clyde has a lot of experience working with QBs and we are confident he will help keep the offense on track after some changes.

    Depth Chart

    Offense

    QB
    Robert Griffin III $950,000
    Ryan Mallet $508,992
    Billy Volek $400,000

    Obviously the big change here is Philip Rivers. We love Philip. He is one of the best QBs in the game. But he carried a high price tag. And we felt that he would limit our ability to improve the rest of the roster. And given the evidence of the last few seasons, Philip playing great wasn't enough to make this team a contender. So we traded him for some draft picks and Ryan Mallet. While we really like Mallet, we couldn't overlook the opportunity to get a world class athlete and highly productive college QB in Robert Griffin. One thing we are particularly looking forward to with Griffin that we didn't have with Rivers is his mobility. The ability to save or create plays when protection breaks down is a valuable skill that, along with his other attributes, will make Griffin dangerous even as a rookie. And we kept the veteran Billy Volek around in order to help mentor our two young QBs who will compete for the job.

    RB
    Ryan Matthews $712,750
    Kevin Smith $400,000
    Patrick DiMarco $465,000


    The youth, talent, production, and low cost of Ryan Matthews let us not need to give the RB position a second thought. We plan on having a Patriots or Packers-style offense in which we only run the ball to break up the routine of throwing the ball a ton. Thus we just wanted to get a decent backup to compliment Matthews

    LT
    Chad Clifton $1,500,000
    Kareem McKenzie $500,000

    LG
    Eric Steinbach $1,500,000
    Steve Schilling $465,000

    C
    Jason Brown $3,500,000
    Andre Gurode $400,000

    RG
    Louis Vasquez $565,000
    Tyronne Green $565,000

    RT
    Jeromey Clary $2,640,000
    Marc Columbo $300,000

    Because of injuries, retirement, and ridiculous price tags, we felt the need to be aggressive when addressing the offensive line in free agency. Given the youthful nature of our QB position we wanted to bring in some veterans who would be able to help with, if not take over, blitz pickups and all various line calls. Jason Brown and Andre Gurode should do a good job of doing that and of replacing Nick Hardwick.

    WR
    Vincent Jackson $9,521,000
    Darrius Heyward-Bey $1,605,000
    Vincent Brown $465,000
    Patrick Crayton $300,000
    Richard Goodman $435,000
    Jeremy Ebert $350,000

    TE
    Antonio Gates $4,000,000
    Jeff King $400,000

    The receiving unit was one of the strengths of the team going into the offseason. Thus we wanted to largely keep it in tact. That meant tagging Vincent Jackson early on. While Malcolm Floyd was very good, we decided to go younger and cheaper with the trade for Darrius Heyward-Bey who is coming off a solid season and gives us the speed to keep our aggressive, downfield passing offense going. With Bey and Jackson occupying the vertical lengths of the field, that should give the great Antonio Gates a lot of opportunities to continue being highly productive.

    Defense

    Base 3-4

    LDE
    Louis Castillo $3,900,000
    Tommie Harris $400,000

    NT
    Antonio Garay $2,500,000
    Cam Thomas $4,90,000

    RDE
    Tommy Kelly $6,000,000
    Jacques Cesaire $825,000
    Billy Winn $350,000

    Since the team had run a 3-4 the previous year we wanted to maintain some stability by making that our base defense. But given the way free agency worked out and the versatility of some players that were acquired, we felt like we should run a defense similar to the one the Miami Dolphins ran in 2011, one in which on obvious passing situations we switch to more of a 4-3 and let our DTs rush the passer. But sticking with the 3-4 for now, we made Antonio Garay a priority as the anchor of the defense. And we acquired Tommy Kelly in a trade in order to bolster the line.

    Shaun Phillips $4,400,000
    Vinny Curry $550,000

    We felt that the rushing the passer was one of the biggest weakness coming into the offseason. So we signed Mark Anderson to provide that pass rush and drafted Vinny Curry to learn behind Shaun Phillips.

    Nick Polk $390,000

    SS
    Deon Grant $300,000
    Chris Crocker $300,000

    I think we added good depth in the secondary. And with an improved pass rush we think this unit will be solid at worst.

    For our 4-3 formation, it's basically just moving Garay out and sliding Castillo and Kelly inside and then putting Anderson and Phillips on the ends of the line. And at LB, we will have Diggs and Robinson outside and Spikes inside, with Robinson coming out for Nickle situations and Diggs coming out for Dime situations.

    Summary

    This was a weird team the last few years. Until last year, they did everything well but just had some bad luck. And last year the defense fell off. So I didn't think I could sit back and just try to sign a few cheap guys to patch up the holes on defense. And with Rivers' salary and the need to resign Vincent Jackson I didn't think I could improve the defense enough. In the end, I gave up Rivers and Eric Weddle in order to get Griffin, Mallet and the opportunity to sign some good free agents. Offensively, aside from QB, I think we are slightly improved. Defensively, I think we are definitely improved, both with talent and coaching. Honestly, in the end, we will probably be a bit worse than we were last year just because of the Rivers/Griffin swap. But financially and overall talent wise, I think we are in better shape medium and long term.

    New York Giants

    Despite winning the Super Bowl last year the Giants were 9-7 and had some key free agents. We improved the overall team depth and brought in number of playmakers on defense (Ngata, Posluzny, Spencer, Rogers). The 2012 Giants are primed for a repeat and have numerous amount of young players that this team is setup well for the future as well as this season.

    QB Eli Manning $1,750,000
    QB Bruce Gradkowski $300,000
    QB Brian Hoyer $300,000

    Eli is an elite QB and Gradkowski is one of the best backup QBs in the league. Hoyer has showed some promise in NE and will be groomed behind another great QB.

    RB Ahmad Bradshaw $3,000,000
    RB David Wilson $550,000
    RB Anthony Dixon $550,000
    RB Jackie Battle $300,000
    RB Henry Hynoski $465,000

    Bradshaw and Wilson will split carries. Dixon and Battle are both bigger backs who can help in short yardage

    WR Hakeem Nicks $750,000
    WR Victor Cruz $490,000
    WR Lee Evans $550,000
    WR T.Y. Hilton $350,000
    WR Ramses Barden $565,000
    WR Jerrel Jernigan $465,000

    This is a very young WR corp that will be carried by the best WR duo in the NFL. Hilton, Jernigan and Barden are all young receivers with plenty of potential. Evans provides a veteran presence and is still capable of contributing

    TE Dwayne Allen 550,000
    TE Evan Moore $1,200,000
    TE Evan Rodriguez 350,000

    Allen and Rodriguez are both rookies who will have the opportunity to produce early. Evan Moore is a solid veteran who had his best season last year for Cleveland

    OL David Diehl $3,825,000
    OL Joe Staley $1,300,000
    OL Kevin Boothe $1,500,000
    OL Will Beatty $565,000
    OL David Baas $3,000,000
    OL Adam Goldberg $300,000
    OL Max Starks 300,000
    OL Jeff Allen $350,000
    OL Nate Livings 300,000

    This is a good group that has a good mix of veterans and young players. We improved the depth of the line.

    DL Haloti Ngata $2,900,000
    DL Justin Tuck $3,200,000
    DL Jason Pierre-Paul $825,000
    DL Marvin Austin $546,627
    DL Linval Joseph $490,000
    DL Aaron Kampman 600,000
    DL Amobi Okoye $1,500,000
    DL Jared Crick 450,000

    This is a scary group and has to be the most talented group of any position on any team. JPP/Tuck/Ngata will start on the line with a healthy dose of young players with a lot of promise sprinkled in (Crick, Austin, Joseph, Okoye). This group has a lot of versatility with every player being able to play multiple positions on the line and will give us a variety of looks we can show.


    LB Sean Weatherspoon $726,250
    LB Michael Boley $4,000,000
    LB Mark Herzlich $465,000
    LB Greg Jones $465,000
    LB Jacquian Williams $465,000
    LB Paul Posluszny $5,040,000
    LB Anthony Spencer 8,500,000

    This was the weakest position on the team last year and we believe we made it a strength. This unit goes 2 deep at every position.

    DB Carlos Rogers 8,500,000
    DB Corey Webster $6,500,000
    DB Prince Amukamara $746,859
    DB William Moore $565,000
    DB Antrel Rolle $6,750,000
    DB Tyler Sash $465,000
    DB Bryant McFadden 400,000
    DB Abram Elam 300,000
    DB Yeremiah Bell 5,100,000
    DB Jacob Lacey 500,000

    We have 3 high quality starters in Amukamara, Webster, and Rogers. This unit lost a couple of key pieces but this unit now has alot of depth.

    ANALYSIS
    My goal offensively was to add depth. We brought in Ryan Tannehill with our first round pick. Tony Romo is a very good QB, but Tannehill will hopefully push him within a couple of years. I love Tannehill's arm strength, athleticism and intelligence. Also coming from the draft were Brian Quick and Rishard Matthews, who join Eddie Royal as additions to our already talented receiving corps. Scott Chandler - who I believe to be one of the more underrated TEs in the NFL - is just icing on the cake. Romo now has Bryant, Austin, Witten, Chandler, and Royal - all of which are proven mismatches in this league. Greg Smith is another sleeper FA that I brought aboard at the TE position.

    Paul McQuistan was referred to as the MVP of the Seattle OL last season, and was one of the moves I am most happy with, as he cost me barely anything. Tyron Smith was impressive as a rookie, and will be the starting LT. Edwin Williams played center for the Bears last season, but will move to LG, which I think is a better fit. Bill Nagy moves from RG to his natural position of C. Joe Berger will likely be the starting RG, but like the others he can play in many spots. There really is a ton of versatility on the interior of the offensive line. The tackle position doesn't have a lot depth, so there may be a move made before the season starts.

    At the RB position, I wanted to bring in a reliable veteran to replace the unreliable Felix Jones, and there was no better fit than BenJarvus Green Ellis. Green-Ellis has 0 career fumbles as opposed to Jones' 5 in 2011 alone, in addition to being a better blocker. While DeMarco Murray may be the starting RB, Green Ellis is the closer. Lamar Miller was drafted, and hopefully will develop into a solid contributor.

    ANALYSIS
    Defensively I had my work cut out for me. There just wasn't very much talent. I think did I good job of changing that. I brought in Jarret Johnson and Jameel McClain from Baltimore. Paired with DeMarcus Ware and a rising star in Sean Lee, I feel that I have the best LB unit in the NFL. Not only do I have the most talented LB group, I also have the deepest. Victor Butler and Chris Kelsay could both be starters on a lot of teams. In front of those LBs are a lot of very talented defensive lineman. Obviously Jay Ratliff is a great player. But I'm really excited about D'Anthony Smith. His play in limited snaps last year in Jacksonville was extremely impressive to me. He's a great interior pass-rusher, and we look forward to getting him and Ratliff on the field together in our "heavy" nickel packages. Add in talent like Jason Hatcher, Kenyon Coleman, Jayme Mitchell, and Andre Carter, and the front-7 is downright scary.

    The secondary was probably the worst part of the team I inherited, but I feel I turned it around. Nate Clements was very solid for CIN last season, and Jarraud Powers was very underrated for Indianapolis. I expect Powers to really become a household name at the position now that he's in a good situation. Both are very good CBs that I'm comfortable with. Mike Jenkins is no longer a starter, but he will be the team's nickel back and could take over a starting spot. I also brought in Reggie Nelson to be the starting FS, he'll be backed up by Usama Young. I think Nelson has really become the player everyone has expected, and I'm hoping he can capitalize on what the front-7 will create. Craig Steltz is a FA signing I'm really happy with. He's an extremely instinctual and fundamentally sound SS. He'll be backed up by Joe Lefeged, who is young but has shown signs of promise.

    Overall this defense has a chance to be very special. Pettine will bring a toughness to this team that hasn't been seen in past seasons. That all starts with the defense, especially the front-7. Expect multiple-fronts, and a lot of different combinations of personnel.

    GENERAL MANAGER PERFORMANCE-BONUS: $12,500,000
    (thats what you get when you're $16M+ under the salary cap :knucks:)

    ----Keeping Trent Cole was vital to my defense, while also building behind him the safetys and linebacking corps. I think I certainly succeeded with that. Adding Rolando McClain and David Harris, bringing in depth with guys like Matt Roth and Brady Poppinga and keeping Casey Matthews I took a weakness and made it a solid group. Keeping Asomugha and Dominque Rogers was key as well as building behind them, my safety group. During the draft I made a HUGE deal to get rid of Michael Vicks gigantic contract, and bring in Eric Berry which is a HUGE move for my secondary. I also added Rahim Moore who had a very good start to his career in Denver, and Chris Clemmons to shore up the remaining of my nickle/dime and special teams depth. I am confident in my defense now....so much more than when I took the team over. Another big key was adding playmakers on the defensive line. I brought in Erik Walden....who went to Greenbay from Miami and had good success rushing the passer. I also traded for last years first round pick Nick Fairley, signed Raheem Brock, and feel my front 7 and my entire defense as a whole, are a tons better.

    Other notable signings....Gary Guyton and Tim Dobbins.

    On offense. Obviously I got rid of Vick....I drafted Brandon Weeden and got Matt Cassell in here as well to compete for a starting job. Keeping McCoy is a win in itself. Franchise tagging DeSean Jackson was huge for me, as well as the trade done early in the GM league but should not be forgotten....was me getting Andre Johnson. I resigned Steve Smith, traded for Marlon Moore and Roberto Wallace....good special team/high ceiling guys and took a flyer on Roy Williams....who yes is a gigantic bust, but at one time was a real good WR, and I think could excell in an offense where he is a 3rd or 4th option behind studs.

    Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel can come in right now, with these playmakers, and make some noise. The defense is good enough to stop anyone, and I feel I took the Eagles from an already solid team, to a more complete team ready to win it all.

    Thanks guys, had a fun year!!!

    ============================================
    Write up:

    Offense: My over all plan was to make this already young team even younger, while adding talent. I felt like I did so. I was already gifted with one of the best young QB-WR duos in the league (Dalton to Green), but decided to give Andy Dalton even more weapons to throw to. Alshon Jeffery has ridiculous size/athleticism to go along with some of the best hands I've seen in a while. Reminds me a lot like Brandon Marshall, with better hands. I also decided to add another big WR with incredible size and speed- Terrelle Pryor (6'6, 4.36 speed). Not to mention, I have one of the better slot receivers in the league coming back off of injury, in Jordan Shipley. I wanted to go with 2 TE sets, since that seems to be the new trend in the league, especially with pass heavy offenses like mine, but TEs seemed to be over priced in this league, so I decided to spend my money elsewhere, while keeping a stud in Jermaine Gresham and Colin Cochart who is a nasty run blocker. I used that saved money towards my offensive line to protect my young QB, who is still developing. Carl Nicks and Chad Rinehart were my prize winnings in Free Agency and I decided to bring in Jason Spitz, considering I've always liked him and I had him when last season with the Panthers when I won the SB. I felt like he was the key ingredient to a SB team. Lastly, my RB position. You all may not be incredibly impressed with it, but I refuse to overspend on RBs since they can be found anywhere for cheap. I've always been a firm believer that most RBs are a product of their offensive line/offensive system (there are obviously some exceptions). So, instead of paying a high price on 1 RB, I paid a low price on 2 young RBs. Odds are one of them should pan out decently.

    Defense: I wanted to completely revamp this defense. I love the defensive line, but I wanted to make it even better. We desperately needed one more pass rusher opposite of Dunlap, so I added 3 more. I also wanted to make my interior DL as deep as possible, so my big boys could get some rest and be 100% when they are out on the field. My goal was to make my DL as versatile as possible for different situations...for example:

    base 4-3 DL: Dunlap-Bunkley-Atkins-Clayborn
    3-4 DL: Atkins-Bunkley-Douzable (with Nick Perry and Manny Lawson playing the OLB positions)
    nickel D in passing situations: Clayborn-Dunlap-Atkins-Perry

    My LB corps may not seem incredibly scary, but I tried to make it as deep as possible with a lot of young potential. Also, I realized since my DL was so good and deep, I wouldn't need a dominant LB corps. Regardless, I am satisfied with Lawson/Muckelroy/Vobora. I wanted to spend big money on my secondary this season since it has now become a passing league. So I paid a high price for pass rushers (as in 1st round picks) and I paid a high price for CBs (as in money). Grimes/Carr may very well be the best CB duo in this league. If not, at least I have Minnifield (who imo has the best pure coverage skills in this draft, but lacks the size and speed that other CBs have). I feel like in some nickel situations, I could have Brandon Carr play the slot corner position, with Grimes and Minnifield on the outside. I love my safeties. All of them are young and all of them are rangy.

    TEAM OVERVIEW
    [​IMG]

    Going into the offseason, I felt the Colts had to go through a heavy rebuild but still give future franchise quarterback Andrew Luck some talent to work with. I narrowed the Colts roster down to what I wanted to keep and either traded or cut the remaining roster. On offense, I was left with very little. The only players that remain on the team would be two halfbacks, two wide receivers, and four offensive linemen. I believe I was able to effectively add players to fit Tom Clement's West Coast system and players that complement each other very well. This is an offense that was built around the talents of Andrew Luck and he has plenty of weapons to work with.

    Looking at the Colts defense in 2011, they seemed to resemble swiss cheese with the bend but don't break cover two defense; however the defense broke more than it bent. The main players that will return from 2012 are All-Pro pass rusher Dwight Freeney and Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea. The front seven was given a huge overhaul with the addition of some big men in the middle. Jonathan Babineaux, Mike Patterson, and Jason Jones all signed contracts with the Colts. The Colts also acquired a dynamic pass rusher in Ray Edwards who should excel across from Dwight Freeney. DeMeco Ryans was a huge acquisition as he looks to be their quarterback of the defense at middle linebacker. The secondary showed some real improvement by acquiring Jairus Byrd at free safety, giving the Colts one of the best safety tandems in the NFL. Terrell Thomas and Stanford Routt round out the secondary and will look to excel in the Colts new press coverage scheme. With defensive line guru Jim Washburn running the defense along with the help from head coach Jeff Fisher, the Colts defense should be a force in 2012.

    OFFENSIVE ROSTER (WEST COAST)
    [​IMG]

    QUARTERBACKS
    Andrew Luck was obviously the main target at the number one overall draft selection; while some felt that a trade would be imminent, I didn't want to give up the best prospect in the NFL Draft in the past 30 years. Andrew Luck has it all; size, speed, strength, accuracy, intelligence, athleticism, and intangibles. Luck will be going into the 2012 NFL season as the Colts' starting quarterback, however he has a veteran behind him that will show him the ropes of being in the NFL. Charlie Batch has a history with Tom Clements in Pittsburgh while Clements was the Steelers' quarterbacks coach. Batch will provide Indianapolis with a good back-up option at the quarterback position as well as being able to give Luck pointers on how to make in the NFL. Graham Harrell joined the Green Bay Packers in 2010 and now he re-unites with Clements in 2012 as he looks to be the Colts' emergency quarterback and developmental project.

    QB1 - Andrew Luck, $950,000
    QB2 - Charlie Batch, $300,000
    QB3 - Graham Harrell, $300,000

    RUNNING BACKS
    Looking at the Colts running backs right away, I felt like there was some talent to work with. I thought Donald Brown played fairly well in 2011 and Delone Carter showed glimpses of being a positive role player for the Colts as well. Both of these running backs were still pretty young; however I felt like Joseph Addai was making too much money so I wound up replacing him with Felix Jones. Felix Jone was suppose to be the Cowboys running back for the future; however an injury took him out of the starting role in Dallas and some exceptional play by DeMarco Murray ran him out of town. I am a big Michael Smith fan so adding him in the late rounds was an added bonus. Tony Fiammetta was an under the radar signing in my mind that most people won't notice. Fiammetta was a big reason behind the Cowboys' running success in 2012. I believe re-uniting him with Felix Jones will bring good things in Indianapolis.

    HB1 - Felix Jones, $1,170,000
    HB2 - Donald Brown, $865,000
    HB3 - Delone Carter, $465,000
    HB4 - Michael Smith, $350,000
    FB1 - Tony Fiammetta, $500,000

    WIDE RECEIVERS
    With the Peyton Manning era ending in Indianapolis, it was safe to say that Reggie Wayne was soon to join him. I brought back Pierre Garcon with the transition tag to be the number one receiver at the Z. Laurent Robinson showed a lot of promise in Dallas last year and I think, if healthy, he can be a pretty good starter. I have him penciled in at the X, where I think he will be able to use his size to his advantage. Early Doucet joins the Colts while looking to split snaps with Garcon but primarily work in the Y in the many three receiver sets that the offense will certainly employ. Rounding out the roster is Austin Collie, an up and coming receiver who will play both the Z and the Y. I decided to take a chance on Danario Alexander's health because when he is healthy... he is very good. He'll look to be the second option at the X receiver spot.

    WR1 (Z) - Pierre Garcon, WR, $7,616,000
    WR2 (X) - Laurent Robinson, WR, $6,750,000
    WR3 (Z/Y) - Early Doucet, $5,500,000
    WR4 (Z/Y) - Austin Collie, $565,000
    WR5 (X) - Danario Alexander, $490,000

    TIGHT ENDS
    Dallas Clark also left Indianapolis but instead of joining his former teammates in Jacksonville, he wound up in Chicago with Jay Cutler. I drafted Coby Fleener at the tail end of the first round because I think he is the best tight end in the draft and with the chemistry he and Luck share, it should show on the field instantly. Visanthe Shiancoe has lost a step but he is still a viable redzone target and a great option at the number two tight end. Shiancoe will be able to teach Fleener a few tricks in the NFL early on. Rounding out the tight end position is Daniel Fells who started in Denver last season. Fells isn't exactly who you want to roll with as a starting tight end but as a third option, you can't do much better.

    TE1 - Coby Fleener, $800,000
    TE2 - Visanthe Shiancoe, $500,000
    TE3 - Daniel Fells, $500,000

    OFFENSIVE TACKLES
    The Colts drafted Anthony Castonzo with their first round pick in 2011 and he will return to Indianapolis as their starting left tackle. Castonzo showed some promise last year but looks to continue to grow into an great left tackle. Anthony Collins was brought in via free agency to start at right tackle. Collins has been known as a right tackle that would start on most teams however he played behind the likes of Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith. Rashad Butler joined the Colts roster after being released by the Texans and he will look to provide more depth at the tackle position. James Brown was drafted in the 4th round and with his versaility I thought he should have went much higher. He will look to be a back up tackle however because of his versatility he will also look to play a depth role at guard.

    LT1 - Anthony Castonzo, $738,000
    LT2 - James Brown, $350,000
    RT1 - Anthony Collins, $4,000,000
    RT2 - Rashad Butler, $460,000

    OFFENSIVE GUARDS
    Ben Ijalana was the Colts' second round draft choice in 2011 however he tore his ACL early in his rookie season. Ijalana will look to return to the gridiron in 2012 as the team's start left guard. Willie Colon is also coming off an injury from 2011 as he had triceps surgery in September. Colon has been playing right tackle however he will look to move to the right guard position which I think he will excel at playing next to Anthony Collins. Joe Reitz returns to the team in 2012 because I felt he was a solid but unspectacular player in 2011. Reitz is a guy that may not be a long-term starter but he is a guy you can throw in the starting line-up and feel comfortable going into the game. I also added Kory Lichensteiger late in the free agency process for depth purposes. Lichensteiger showed a lot of promise in Washington last year before tearing his ACL. With the amount of injuries that the guards are recovering from the need to add a versatile lineman like James Brown was crucial. If one of these guards aren't healthy by the start of the season, the addition will instantly pay off dividends.

    LG1 - Ben Ijalana, $465,000
    LG2 - Joe Reitz, $490,000
    RG1 - Willie Colon, $1,250,000
    RG2 - Kory Lichensteiger, $500,000

    CENTERS
    A huge priority of the free agency period was to bring back All-Pro center Jeff Saturday. While Saturday is certainly no spring chicken, he offers a lot of experience and knowledge that the rest of the offensive line doesn't have. Saturday will essentially be the security blanket for the offensive line and should be able to make sure the linemen are in the right position. Brandon Fusco was a trade acquistion made early in the season that I felt would be a good project player at center. I wasn't a fan of the centers in the NFL draft this year and felt that Fusco would be a better fit to learn from a player like Jeff Saturday.

    OC1 - Jeff Saturday, $500,000
    OC2 - Brandon Fusco, $465,000

    DEFENSIVE ROSTER (WIDE 9 - COVER 2 PRESS)
    [​IMG]


    DEFENSIVE ENDS
    Many questioned whether the Colts should keep Dwight Freeney with his $14.035M salary on the books and they wound up releasing him a week before the start of free agency. Freeney came back home to Indianapolis for a significant pay cut and made teams look silly as they paid players like Calais Campbell, Robert Mathis, John Abraham, and Jeremy Mincey significantly more than what Freeney signed for. Freeney looks to be the Colts main threat at rushing the quarterback however across from him is Ray Edwards, who is a talented pass rusher in his own right. Edwards struggled last year in Atlanta however when he is playing across from a talent like Freeney, there is no question that Edwards production will increase dramatically. Rounding out the defensive ends are two ends that have plenty of potential in Corey Wootton and Jamaal Anderson. Wootton was expected to be a key contributor in Chicago last year but it did not go as planned. Jamaal Anderson showed some promise in Indianapolis last year and hopes to build off that success.

    WDE1 - Ray Edwards, $3,000,000
    WDE2 - Jamaal Anderson, $500,000
    SDE1 - Dwight Freeney, $8,000,000
    SDE2 - Corey Wootton, $490,000

    DEFENSIVE TACKLES
    The Colts went a little crazy in free agency by signing three new defense tackles. Jonathan Babineaux joins the team as the starting nose tackle; Babineaux is an interior linemen that the Falcons feel has been a very good asset to their defensive line and should excel in his new role. Mike Patterson will back him up as nose tackle however he will also see more time on the field during obvious run downs where Jonathan Babineaux will switch over to the under tackle. Patterson was a key player on the Eagles defensive line and we all know that was one nasty defensive line. The Colts needed a presence in their interior pass rush and the Jason Jones signing fit the bill perfectly. Jones will start at under tackle on obvious passing downs and may even some time on the outside from time to time. Jones' snapcount will be limited to ensure he stays healthy. Christian Ballard was acquired in a trade and he seems to be a lesser version of Jason Jones at this point in his career. Ballard is a great pass rusher and will look to provide more interior pass rush along with depth. Only one defensive tackle remains on the team from 2011 and that's the Colts' 2011 third round draft selection. Nevis showed some promise last year and proved that he deserved a spot on the roster. The Colts hope to see him eventually take on the starting nose tackle role in the future.

    NT1 - Jonathan Babineaux, $2,000,000
    NT2 - Mike Patterson, $1,000,000
    NT3 - Drake Nevis, $465,000
    UT1 - Jason Jones, $2,000,000
    UT2 - Christian Ballard, $465,000

    LINEBACKERS
    The biggest addition to the Colts linebacker corp would be trading for All-Pro middle linebacker, DeMeco Ryans. DeMeco Ryans didn't seem to fit in the 3-4 and was more suited as the 4-3 MIKE linebacker. Ryans will return to a defense that suits his style of play and will be a huge presence at stopping the run and ensuring his linebackers are in the right position. Kavell Conner returns to the team from 2011 and will look to take on the team's starting weakside linebacker role. Conner graded out extremely high against the run in 2011 however he struggled in pass coverage. Luckily for the Colts, they re-signed pass coverage specialist Philip Wheeler who will look to take Conner's spot on obvious passing downs to ensure they have the best three on the field. Rocky McIntosh was signed to contract to return to his role during his college days at strongside linebacker. McIntosh seemed out of his element in the Redskins' 3-4 and should be a better fit in Indianapolis. The Colts drafted Audie Cole in the 4th round with the hopes that he will take over the starting role at strongside linebacker in 2013. Cole is a big linebacker who will be just the man the Colts need as their SAM linebacker of the future. Jerry Franklin was also drafted by the Colts to back up All-Pro DeMeco Ryans in the middle. Franklin seems to have flown under the radar as a middle linebacker after not being invited to the NFL Combine, but make no mistake... this kid can play.

    WLB1 - Kavell Conner, $490,000
    WLB2 - Philip Wheeler, $3,100,000
    MLB1 - DeMeco Ryans, $5,900,000
    MLB2 - Jerry Franklin, $350,000
    SLB1 - Rocky McIntosh, $1,000,000
    SLB2 - Audie Cole, $350,000

    CORNERBACKS
    The Indianapolis Colts felt that their cornerbacks in 2011 had to take a hike for two main reasons: their awful play and inability to play press coverage. The Colts brought in players that they felt could thrive in a cover 2 press scheme and they brought in some players who are perfect for that. Terrell Thomas tore his ACL during his 2011 preseason and will look to return to form in 2012. Thomas showed a lot of promise since being drafted in in 2008, snagging five interceptions in both 2009 and 2010. The Colts also acquired former Raiders cornerback Stanford Routt. While Routt seemed to be chastised by Raider fans because of he and the entire Oakland secondary's lack of awareness in zone coverage, he will be joining a defense in Indianapolis that will cater to his strengths: man to man coverage. Brandon Boykin was drafted in the third round by the Colts this year where they would like to see him play a huge role as a returner and a dime back. Jason Allen really redeemed himself in Houston last season as he was apart of a very talented Texans defense. He will join the Colts as the teams' nickel back. Cortez Allen showed promise in a surprisingly good Steelers secondary in 2011 and he was quickly snatched up after being given his pink slip to fill out the Colts roster at cornerback.

    CB1 - Terrell Thomas, $4,000,000
    CB2 - Stanford Routt, $5,000,000
    CB3 - Jason Allen, $500,000
    CB4 - Brandon Boykin, $450,000
    CB5 - Cortez Allen, $500,000

    SAFETIES
    Great things seem to come in pairs as the Colts didn't acquire one All-Pro defensive playmaker... but two. Jairus Byrd was brought on to the team to be their free safety. Byrd is a true ball hawk and a perfectly centerfielder for the Indianapolis Colts' new defense. Alongside him will be Antoine Bethea, who will be moving back to strong safety, the position he played as a rookie in 2006. With a safety tandem of Jairus Byrd and Antoine Bethea, the Colts will be able to play press coverage while having two extremely reliable ball hawks covering each side of the field. Ryan Mundy was signed in free agency to be the team's back up free safety. Mundy showed some very good things in 2011 and they were estactic to see him join their defense in Indianapolis. Rounding out the secondary would be returning strong safety, David Caldwell, who showed enough promise in 2011 to warrant returning in 2012.

    FS1 - Jairus Byrd, $565,000
    FS2 - Ryan Mundy, $500,000
    SS1 - Antoine Bethea, $5,025,000
    SS2 - David Caldwell, $490,000

    SPECIAL TEAMS
    The Colts didn't do a lot of flopping around on special teams by bringing back "Mr. Clutch" Adam Vinatieri. Pat McAfee also returns to the team after an impressive stint in 2011 as the team's punter. The team was unable to re-sign long snapper Justin Snow but was able to bring the next best thing by signing Lonie Paxton. Paxton will see a familiar face on special teams as he re-unites with Adam Vinatieri. Paxton snapped nine of Vinatieri's game winning field goals while in New England, including the 48 yard field goal in Super Bowl XXXVI giving the Patriots the win over the Rams as time expired. Brandon Boykin was drafted in the third round for his cover skills but also because he is an elite return man. Boykin return three kicks for a touchdown while at Georgia but what made those three kicks really special was that they each went for 100 yards or more.

    K - Adam Vinatieri, $300,000
    P - Pat McAfee, $565,000
    LS - Lonie Paxton, $300,000
    KR - Brandon Boykin, CB, $450,000
    PR - Brandon Boykin, CB, $450,000

    Jacksonville Jaguars - Final Roster

    First off, thanks to everyone for having me. I know I’m not a board regular, so I appreciate the opportunity to participate. This was definitely a good time and I hope to be part of the GM League next year.
    Opening Statement:

    Let me be clear. Winning the Rookie of the Year award would be awesome and a great honor, but I entered the league to win the whole thing. With a look at the roster I started with and the one I ended with, I feel confident that I should be in contention for GM of the Year.

    When UCF FINatic first asked me to join the league, he told me that running the Jaguars would be an uphill battle. As a Jacksonville fan, I was all too aware of the challenges that were ahead of me: The league’s worst offense with gaping holes across the depth chart, a poor a coaching staff and the reputation that comes with a disinterested fan base in a small media market.

    Basically, it was a gig that no one wanted. My hope is that my inexperience on this league and Jacksonville’s obscurity do not hurt me during voting.

    Not knowing the ins and out of the league and how things went, I asked my friend and football aficionado Ashy Larry to help me with personnel decisions. We deiced that there were five goals we needed to accomplish to have a shot of winning GM of the Year:

    1.) Bring in a proven quarterback to immediately upgrade the NFL’s worse passing attack. Just as important, we wanted someone that could mentor Blaine Gabbert and give the promising but often flustered youngster time to learn (a la Aaron Rogers in Green Bay, without the Brett Favre drama.)

    2.) Hire a proficient offensive coach that could mold quarterbacks and run a well-balanced offense.

    3.) Add a primary and secondary receiver.

    4.) Keep a strong defense (ranked No. 6 in the NFL, which is amazing considering the No. 32 offense) intact while upgrading our defensive ends and overall depth.

    5.) Finally, we wanted to turn the team into a contender while not completely mortgaging our long-term future.

    I will expound upon these objectives at the end of my post. I will say this: using a stat-based philosophy—blended with a conscious effort to consider chemistry and find players that fit specific roles—we cut the fat, built around our strengths and achieved all of our goals.

    Offense

    Quarterback

    QB - Peyton Manning ($7,400,000) - Doctors have written off injury risk. The only concern is his arm strength. With multiple playoff teams bidding on the future HOF QB this offseason, we feel that he should be at or close to full strength.

    Backup
    QB - Blaine Gabbert ($954,400) - Putrid rookie season cannot be ignored, but he did display physical tools to be an NFL QB. Time behind Manning (and competent WRs) will do a world of good.

    Running Back/ Fullback

    RB - Maurice Jones-Drew ($4,450,000) - NFL’s leading rusher in 2011 and No. 2 RB by Pro Football Focus. Nuff said.

    FB – Ovie Mughelli ($1,500,000) – MCL tear in Week 7 ended 2011 season, but it’s an easy injury to overcome. Prior to that, Mughelli was ranked the No.1 FB in 2009 and 2010 by PFF.

    Backups
    RB - Rashad Jennings ($565,000) – Was on IR in 2011 but didn’t require knee surgery, so he should be ready to build off of his 2010 campaign (84 rushes, 459 yards).

    RB - Jerious Norwood ($300,000) – As our third RB, we’re hoping he can regain some of his success from ATL days.

    FB - Montell Owens ($300,000) – Excellent special teams player brings value as a RB/FB too.

    Wide Receivers

    Z - Reggie Wayne ($9,521,000) – Don’t write him off yet. He was targeted less without Peyton at QB last year but dropped only two passes, proving he’s as consistent as ever. Pairing back up with Manning, we should see him back in the 1,000-yard club again.

    X - Malcom Floyd ($3,000,000) – Floyd was a big snag for us, giving Manning a big (6-5, 225), productive (856 yards, 5 TDs in 11 games) target to go next to Wayne. Averaged 4.5 yards per pass route, giving him one of the best totals in the NFL.

    Y(SL) - Mike Thomas ($565,000) – Finally, Thomas can move to the slot where he best belongs. His quickness and ability to get open on underneath patterns will be a huge asset to our QBs as they develop chemistry within the offense.

    Backups
    WR - Cecil Shorts ($465,000) – The rookies struggled last year but we’ll hold on to him for the year and try to utilize his quickness in the slot.

    WR - Kassim Osgood ($300,000) – Pro Bowl special teams player adds solid depth.

    WR - Ryan Broyles (R) ($350,000) – Coming off an ACL injury, he might be ready to go my midseason. A top-three talent at WR in this draft if he wasn’t hurt. Reminds us a little of Marvin Harrison.

    Tight End

    TE - Brent Celek ($1,909,000) – Andy Reid and Peyton Manning love using their tight ends, so expectations are high for Celek in our offense. He played in all 16 games last year, despite a sports hernia and torn labrum, so the dude is tough. Logged 53 catches, 738 rec yards and 5 TDs in last 11 games of 2011 season.

    Backups
    TE - Leonard Pope ($300,000) – A strong blocker with excellent size (6-8, 265) and enough receiving skills to matter (200+ yards last year) as a second TE.
    TE – Brian Linthicum ($350,000) – A late pick (not taken by me, sorry guys), he has potential as a receiving tight end. Good hands, good initial burst off the line.

    Offensive Line

    LT – Eugene Monroe ($1,682,500) – Graded out as a top 15 LT last year and at 25 years-old, he’s still not in the prime of his career. Definitely a cornerstone for our offensive line.

    LG – Mike Iupati ($703,500) – A top six OG in terms of run blocking last year. At 24, him and Monroe will likely give the Jaguars one of, if not the, best LT/LG combo in the NFL over the next several seasons.

    C – Brad Meester ($500,000) – Seasoned veteran is still playing at a high level and adds consistency to the offense.

    RG – Uche Nwaneri ($849,000) – One of the few bright spots for the Jaguars’ offense last year, he was ranked as one of the NFL’s top RGs last year.

    RT – Jammal Brown ($3,000,000) – Has taken yoga this offseason to improve flexibility and break up scar tissue from left hip injuries. If he can get back to old form, he’ll solidify a very good offensive line.

    Backups
    LT - Cameron Bradfield ($300,000) – Really showed glimpses as a rookie last season (+2.8 grade by PFF). He’ll provide excellent depth behind Monroe and could get a shot at starting RT.

    LG – Brandon Brooks (R), ($450,000) – Brooks was good value for us in the third round. With a lot of experience and good fundamental skills all around, he seems to have a bright future.

    C – Brett Romberg ($300,000) – A former starter, he gives us experience and a safety blanket incase anything were to happen to Meester.

    RG - Montrae Holland ($300,000) – Torn bicep injury ended a stellar (+8 grade by PFF) 2011 season. Easily a starter when healthy.

    RT – Sean Locklear ($500,000) – Excellent pass blocker but marginal run blocker. With an aging Manning at QB, his pass-pro skills will come in handy. Also has the ability to play LT.

    Philosophy: With Andy Reid as our head coach and proven quarterback guru (and Reid disciple) as the signal caller, the Jaguars’ offense will be predicated on much of what has made Reid’s offense so successful this past decade. Obviously with Manning at the helm, the West Coast offense must be adapted some. We will utilize the fast-paced system that Manning is accustomed to, but will implement the 3-5-step drops and quick throws that make the West Coast offense work, with just less rollouts. With Maurice Jones-Drew as our top RB and pass-catching TE Brent Celek in the mix, we will rely heavily on play-action passes and look methodically pick teams apart with short gains before taking shots down field.

    QB
    : As stated, we wanted to get a proven veteran to mentor Gabbert. We got that with Manning, a future HOF who still is a game-changer. He improves our offense drastically. His addition alone probably takes the team from 32 to 15.

    RB/FB
    : MJD will be the focal point of the offense, but getting Jennings touches to relieve the All Pro is important for MJD’s longevity. At FB, we liked Greg Jones, but Mughelli was a top FB while Jones was Top 5, and Mughelli was twice as cheap. Owens has versatility as RB, FB and STs player.

    WR
    : The worst WR corps in the NFL got a major upgrade in Wayne and Floyd. Both are capable No. 1s in this league and can get it done on short, intermediate and deep patterns. Getting Thomas to the slot increases his value significantly. He can do a lot of damage there. Everyone fits their role to a tee.

    TE
    : This will be a position we rely on heavily and we’re fortunate to have an extremely productive, capable pass catcher in Celek. He will open things up a ton for our offense. He is twice as cheap as Marcedes Lewis, who checked out last year after signing a big contract.

    OL
    : We didn’t need too much of an upgrade here aside from LG and RT. LG Will Rackley was horrible as a rookie (-35.00 rating by PFF) and RT Guy Whimper was in the negative too. Iupati strengthens left side significantly at was basically our first-round pick. Brown is a wildcard at RT and a very good player if healthy. If not, we have several options to replace him and feel good about the depth there. Plus, anyone is better than Rackley.

    Defense

    Defensive Line

    RE - Osi Umenyiora ($3,975,000) – Finally, the Jaguars get their much-needed pass rusher (9 sacks in 9 games last year.) He was a top 15 pass-rusher according to PFF’s Pass Rusher Productivity stat. Consistent pass-rusher throughout his career.

    DT – Tyson Alualu ($1,212,500) – Nagging injuries led to a sophomore slump after a strong rookie year. Mosley and Martin will push him.

    DT - Terrance Knighton ($565,000) – “Pot Roast” is a dominant run-stuffer, spearheading a Jacksonville run defense that finished in the top 10 of the NFL last year. Conditioning has been an issue, so we’re hoping that Martin will push him as well.

    LE - Justin Smith ($5,875,000) – Smith is excellent against the run and solidifies our defensive front. Has the versatility to play inside as well. Considered an MVP candidate by PFF.

    Backups
    RE - Lawrence Sidbury ($565,000) – Finished with four sacks last year and should allow us to get creative on passing downs. Really finished the year strong, getting pressure on the QB on around 17 percent of his pass rushes in second-half of the season.

    DT - Mike Martin (R) ( $350,000) – High-motor rookie has experience playing nose tackle in college. With 37 starts in his collegiate career, he’s ready to jump into the DT rotation.

    DT - C.J. Mosley ($300,000) – Really stepped up for injured DTs last year (323 snaps last season, including three starts), so we brought him back at a great value. Solid run-stuffer, poor against the pass rush, he’s a situational player that can replace Knighton if he goes down.

    LE – John Chick ($300,000) – Was coming on as a situational pass rusher before (20 pressures in 180 snaps) before a missed holding call resulted in a knee injury, ending his season.

    DE – James Hall ($300,000) – He’s seasoned at 35, but has been extremely consistent ( 6 sacks per year last 5 years) and will be an awesome situations pass rusher for us.

    Linebackers

    SAM – Daryl Smith ($4,700,000) – Call him Mr. Consistently. He graded out as one of the NFL’s top OLBS for the second straight year. Not a household name, but football aficionados know that Smith is one of the game’s elite LBs.

    MIKE – Kelvin Sheppard ($480,000) – We lose Posluszny but add a more athletic LB with tons of upside. Started the last nine games of the year and is considered to be a breakout LB in 2012. Experience in 3-4 and 4-3 scheme. Only 24.

    WILL – Keith Rivers – A superb talent…when healthy. Injuries have hindered him during his career, but if healthy, he gives us an elite LB group. Depth behind him lessens injury concerns.

    Backups
    LB – Thomas Howard ($2,500,000) – Logged 99 tackles and 2 FFs last year when Rivers went down, so we know he can replace him again. We also plan to use this top 30 OLB (PFF) as a nickel LB because of his excellent coverage skills and have no qualms with him replacing Rivers if he out-produces him.

    LB – Stephen Nicholas ($1,500,000) – Battered with injuries last year, Nicholas still remained productive player for the Falcons, finishing with positive run-defending and pass-rush ratings according to PFF.

    LB – Kirk Morrison ($300,000) – Morrison is no longer a start in this league, but his professionalism, ability to play inside and outside, and starting experience make him an ideal backup.

    Secondary

    CB – Asante Samuel ($8,400,000) – An elite corner who finished in the top 10 amongst corners in completion percentage allowed (47.5%) and QB Rating allowed (52.4).

    SS – Dawan Landry ($4,125,000) – Was largely responsible for the Jaguars’ drastic defensive improvement last year, as he helped eliminate big plays down field while providing solid run support.

    FS – Nate Allen ($540,000) – After a strong start to his rookie season (2009) Allen trailed off some with a knee injury and was not 100% to begin last year. He finished the year strong with a 7.2 PFF grade in the final seven games of the season. He was ranked the No. 15 FS overall and should only improve, as he is just 24.

    CB – Derek Cox ($565,000) – Strong rookie year, bad sophomore campaign and then finally showed consistency in 2011, grading out as a solid No. 2 corner. Dealt with injury problems, but nothing too severe, meaning we expect him to build on his 2011 success.

    NB – Drew Coleman ($350,000) – Ideal nickel back is quick and can consistently (1.8 cover rating) guard the slot.

    Backups
    CB – Terrance McGee ($1,500,000) – Hurt last year but was awesome in 2010 (5.9 cover rating by PFF). At $1.5 million, we feel he provides excellent depth as a boundary corner or NB. Should even push Cox for starting role. When he returned from injury mid-season, he really stepped up his game.

    S – Jordan Babineaux ($650,000) – A late signing, Babineaux gives us a lot versatility. He logged 93 tackles and a pick last season, so he has starting ability. He’s ideally a SS, so could replace Landry if he gets hurt. Or, Landry could slide over to FS if Allen went down. Either way, we love or safety rotation.

    CB/FS – Lito Sheppard ($300,000) – Sheppard hasn’t been the same since leaving Philly, but we reunite him with Andy Reid. Sheppard also returns to his hometown, so we’re hoping that rejuvenates him. He started seven games last year, so we feel comfortable with the depth he provides.

    SS – Sean Jones ($300,000) – Struggled as a full-time starter in Tampa Bay but is a more than serviceable backup.

    FS – Chris Prosinski ($300,000) – Very talented young player that dealt with injuries and a learning curve as a rookie.

    Philosophy
    : We brought in Magini because he’s an excellent football mind and an experienced defensive coach. Maybe he’s not a HC, but he can maximize talent as a DC. We’ll run a abase 4-3 while also utilizing some 3-4 principles as well. Mel Tucker was a 3-4 guy when he came to Jacksonville a few years back and proved a good coordinator can master both defenses. Up front, Knighton will be our ‘plug’ and take on double-teams, enabling Osi to do damage as a pass rusher and Shepard to run free as sideline-to-sideline MLB. We love having Smith as a 1[SUP]st[/SUP] and 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] down DE and will move him inside as a 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] down pass rusher, making room for explosive DEs like Sidbury, Hall and Chick. In our 3-4, we expect Knighton to be our NT, Smith and Alualu/Martin as our DEs. Shepard has 3-4 ILB experience and Smith has enough size to be a 3-4 ILB too. Sidbury, Osi and Chick are ideal pass-rush LBs in this formation. Rivers is a solid blitzer too. Our secondary very talented and capable of shutting down the pass in zone and man-to-man coverage, so we will use both quite a bit.

    DL
    : Getting excellent depth, versatility and a plethora of pass rushers was the strategy here. Umenyiora gives us an elite DE to go with two up-and-coming DTs. Smith is one of the best run-stopping DEs in the NFL and can also slide inside to play DT in some situations. Martin adds excellent depth.

    LB
    : Again, we wanted depth and got a ton of it. Sheppard was basically our second rounder this year and will man the middle for the next decade. Smith and Rivers form a nasty outside duo. If either has injuries, we have two proven starters in Nicholas and Howard. Howard will see the field a lot in passing situations.

    DB
    : Samuel is an upgrade over Rashean Mathis and basically shuts down his side of the field. Cox doesn’t have much notoriety (surprise, he’s in Jacksonville) but was very good last year. McGee is regarded by some as a top 15 CB when he’s healthy and could push Cox. We hated to see Dwight Lowery go, but think Nate Allen has more potential in the long run. Our backups have a lot of starting experience and, once more time, provide excellent depth.

    Special Teams
    K – Josh Scobee ($2,251,200) – Spectacular 2011 campaign. 23-of-25 FGs (4 from 50+) and 62.9 TB percentage.

    P – Nick Harris ($300,000) – Not a spectacular leg (42 YPP) but he’s consistent, which is all we really want out of our STs.

    Overall

    Just to sum up our goals:

    1.) Bring in a proven quarterback to immediately upgrade the NFL’s worse passing attack: Check, getting Manning helps tremendously and allows Gabbert to learn behind him. Ideal situation.
    2.) Hire a proficient offensive coach that could mold quarterbacks and run a well-balanced offense: Check, Reid is one of the NFL’s best at maximizing his QBs, young and old. He is a consistent winner, has a system in place that works and will use that to instill a winning culture in Jacksonville.
    3.) Add a primary and secondary receiver: Check, Wayne and Floyd give us an excellent 1-2 punch.
    4.) Keep a strong defense (ranked No. 6 in the NFL, which is amazing considering the No. 32 offense) intact while upgrading our defensive ends and overall depth: Check. We upgraded our defensive line and secondary while adding significant depth to our LBs.
    5.) Finally, we wanted to turn the team into a contender while not completely mortgaging our long-term future: Check. Yes, we traded early draft picks but got some young, established players in return. Iupati is basically a first and Sheppard is a second. We obtained those guys as building blocks. There’s a lot more value in taking established 24-year-olds than there is drafting unproven 22-year-olds.
    Basically, we feel we took over a team no one wanted, addressed every area of need and significantly upgraded our roster, adding depth everywhere while sprinkling in youth. There are very few flaws with this team and I think transforming a bottom dweller into a playoff team capable of making noise in the postseason is something to be proud of.

    RT: J Smith/M Petrus

    In Joe Philbin's new offense we plan to throw the ball, and spread it around when we do. The goal was to make this a dangerous passing offense and that's what we feel we have done. Josh Freeman now has Marques Colston, Kenny Britt, and Mike Williams to throw the ball to. When healthy, that is an extremely talented trio. While Britt missed significant time last year, we think Colston's injury issues are was overblown. He's played in at least 14 games, every year except for 2008. Add in one of the best TEs in the NFL in Kellen Winslow, and this offense should give defenses fits. Preston Parker and rookie Joe Adams are also nothing to sniff at as both are dangerous with the ball in their hands. The line has been given a slight face lift with Faine moving over to guard to allow veteran Todd McClure to take over at center. Former top 5 pick Jason Smith was added at RT. He has been a bit up and down, but we feel that with our coaching we can get that big time potential he once had out of him. Davin Joseph and Donald Penn, both two of the better players at their position in the NFL, return to anchor the line.

    FS: T Zbikowski/H Abdullah/C Grimm
    SS: A Black/G Iloka

    The defense had some holes last year and we feel that we've plugged them and built one of the better defenses in the league with a good mix of veterans and budding young players. Longtime elite veterans in Lance Briggs, Robert Mathis, and Rashean Mathis were brought in to mentor the future stars like Luke Kuechly, Janoris Jenkins, Gerald McCoy, and Daquan Bowers. Our main objective was to build a defense that could get after the passer, mainly with our front four, and allow us to drop 7 into coverage on most downs. On our front four, we have guys that are going to successfully rush the passer in Mathis, Bennett, McCoy, Ingram, Bowers, and Vernon. And our LB group led by Kuechly is going to make it tough to find room to throw the ball when we do. Our defensive backfield is a veteran unit led by guys that have been having success for a long time in Mathis, Trufant, and Hayden. Rookie Janoris Jenkins is going to see plenty of time as well and will be ready to take over when those guys decide to hang 'em up. We have a couple of young players ready to take the next step and start at safety in Tom Zbikowski and Ahmad Black although they will get competition from Hussain Abdullh and George Iloka. The player who might by the lynchpin to the entire defense though, might be Melvin Ingram, who we will use all over the field. He will play end, he will play WILL linebacker, and on some passing downs he will even play defensive tackle. His versatility is going to wreak havoc on the offenses we face and we can't wait to see it.

    K: R Bullock
    P: M Koenen

    KR: J Adams/P Parker/K Hunter
    PR: J Adams/P Parker/K Hunter

    On Special Teams we have one of the best punters in the NFL in Michael Koenen and what we feel will in time be one of the best kickers in the NFL in Randy Bullock. In the return game, Preston Parker did a really nice job for us last year, but we think Joe Adams is going to beat him out. Adams was probably the best return man in the draft and is going to be a threat every time he touches the ball.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Draft Picks


    1.5- LB, Luke Kuechly, Boston College
    1.23- DE/LB, Melvin Ingram, South Carolina
    2.36- CB, Jenoris Jenkins, North Alabama
    3.81- S, George Iloka, Boise State
    4.107- WR, Joe Adams, Arkansas
    5.148- DT, DaJohn Harris, USC
    6.164- TE, Chase Ford, Miami
    7.197- QB, Darron Thomas, Oregon

    Undrafted Free Agents
    Olivier Vernon, DE, Miami
    Randy Bullock, K, Texas A&M

    After free agency we didn't have a ton of needs, but our draft board was set according to value, but was influenced by positions that could help us. Kuechly, Ingram, and Jenkins were no-brainers for us. We think Kuechly is going to be a dominant MLB and team captain for us for a long time. He will immediately come in and anchor our linebacking corps. He really does it all. He's a tackling machine that is always around the ball and is excellent dropping in coverage. Ingram gives us two things we feel have become incredibly important in today's NFL, and that's pass rushing ability and versatility. He probably won't start for us immediately, but will probably play as many snaps as most of our starters as we will move him around from WILL LB, to DE, and even at times inside at DT where he played some in college. We felt he was excellent value at 23. Jenkins is a guy that had he been clean off the field would have been a top 10 pick. We feel those issues are behind him and he is ready to come in and be a professional. He has all the talent you look for in a corner and will immediately play for us whether it's starting or in sub packages. We like our talent at CB, but we do have some guys up there in age and Janoris will be ready to take the reigns from them eventually and lead our defensive secondary. Iloka is a guy that we feel is undervalued because he has yet to put it all together, but we think he has the talent to be a very good safety in the NFL with the right coaching. Joe Adams was one of our favorite players in the draft and is dangerous in so many ways, whether it's catching the football, running with the football, and maybe most of all, returning the football. He's an electric game breaker type that will come in and see time right away in our system. Harris and Ford are guys that give us some depth and we feel have nice upside. Thomas is a project QB who can come in and sit, learn, and develop. We thought he was worth taking a flyer on late. Vernon is someone who was hurt by poor coaching, injuries, and a suspension, but we think he has great talent. We thought about taking him in the mid rounds of the draft, but we had some other positions we needed to sure up first, but when he surprisingly went undrafted we felt we had to go get him. Bullock was our top rated kicker and we had a need, so we went out signed him pretty quickly after he went undrafted as well.

    Our top objectives in free agency were to improve the pass game and improve the pass rush. As the Giants showed last year, that is where the NFL is going. You need to be able to throw the football to score points, and if you can rush the passer you can neutralize great passing games. Specifically, if you can get a good pass rush from your front 4 and allow yourself to drop 7, it is tough to move the ball for opposing offenses. With that goal in place our top two targets were the best WR available in Marques Colston and the best DE available in Robert Mathis. We created enough cap space that we weren't going to be outbid on either player. With our other moves we solidified our offensive line and our secondary as well as added depth in the offensive backfield. We also added a young QB who we feel has quite a bit of upside and a little bit of playing experience in Mike Kafka.

    No matter where I've been, my philosophy has always been that no one is untouchable. I will trade any player as long as I feel I am making the team better. That was no different this year. Right off the bat we added perennial Pro Bowl OLB Lance Briggs to strengthen our weak LB corps. We trimmed some fat and added valuable draft picks. We then added a back that we were very high on last year when he came out of the draft in Kendall Hunter for a low price to add a speed dimension to compliment Blount in the backfield. Then after a late change in regime in Tennessee, we added possibly our biggest piece in WR Kenny Britt. We think you can't have enough good WRs and in Joe Philbin's system we like to spread the ball around. When healthy, we feel Kenny Britt is one of the brightest young WRs in the NFL and will become a force very quickly.

    "Tradition Through Innovation"



    This slogan typifies the approach we tried to take with the Cleveland Browns this offseason. It started with our coaching decisions, including hiring Rob Chudzinksi as a head coach and Mike McCoy as an offensive coordinator. It continued in our trades and personnel acquisitions, including trading for guys like Tim Tebow, Darren McFadden, and Larry Fitzgerald. In the draft we looked for guys who could make an impact for us, though we purposely went looking at smaller schools for players that most people hadn’t spent a lot of time scouting. Our goal was to put a balanced football team on the field. First and foremost, we focused on offense, looking to get explosive players that can put up points. On defense we had to give up a little bit, but we feel like we more than made up for those with our personnel moves. We expect the Browns to be an excitingly improved football team, though we anticipate that we are still at least a couple years away from being considered Super Bowl contenders.

    General Manager: Vengeful Odin | Head Coach: Rob Chudzinksi

    Quarterbacks

    Looking over the Cleveland Browns roster the Quarterback position stuck out like a sore thumb. Colt McCoy has been up and down in his short tenure, and while I liked Seneca Wallace he wasn’t the long term solution. Early on I knew I’d have to address the position, which is why I eventually traded for Tim Tebow. Tebow is a polarizing player, perhaps the most so in the league. Not satisfied there, I grabbed Nick Foles in the middle rounds of the draft. Foles showed potential as a Sophomore and a Junior, but had a particularly rocky end to his collegiate career. Still he’s got the size and leadership intangibles I’m looking for in a franchise QB.

    • Colt McCoy ($490,000)
    • Nick Foles ($350,000)
    • Tim Tebow ($1,942,500)

    Running Backs

    Early on I decided that I would be looking to trade for a dynamic running back. I felt like I should be able to find a Top 5 back with one of my second round draft choices, eventually swinging a deal with the Oakland Raiders for Darren McFadden. McFadden, when healthy, is among the most exciting backs in the league. We feel like we can help offset that to some extent with a returning Brandon Jackson, who has shown promise in his NFL career but has struggled with health issues of his own. Joseph Addai comes aboard as a depth player looking to restart a once promising career, while Chris Ogbonnaya works in short yardage situations. Owen Marecic, one of my favorites from last year’s draft, will clear the way as a bruising fullback.

    • Brandon Jackson ($1,650,000)
    • Chris Ogbonnaya ($540,000)
    • Darren McFadden ($5,650,000)
    • Joseph Addai ($500,000)
    • Owen Marecic ($465,000)

    Wide Receiver

    This was the one area that I really spent a lot of my focus. The Browns were simply abysmal last season, and a lot of that had to do with their Wide Receivers. I liked Greg Little, and I’ve always had a soft spot for Joshua Cribbs, but beyond that? Not much. We spent quite a bit of time here, trading for a guy who is arguably the best in the NFL (Larry Fitzgerald), arguably the best #2 in the NFL (Jordy Nelson), and then signing Kevin Walter to help man the slot. We also kept Cribbs, who will be used in all sorts of situations, and took a flyer on a returning Braylon Edwards, who returns to Cleveland looking to jump start his stalled career. Carlton Mitchell will continue to work as a 5th wide receiver for us.

    • Braylon Edwards ($600,000)
    • Carlton Mitchell ($490,000)
    • Jordy Nelson ($1,000,000)
    • Joshua Cribbs ($925,000)
    • Kevin Walter ($550,000)
    • Larry Fitzgerald ($5,000,000)

    Tight End

    While we probably could have upgraded here, unfortunately sometimes there are just too many holes, and you’re better off leaving well enough alone. This was one of those cases for us. Ben Watson remains a solid option for us at Tight End, and Bear Pascoe was a late pickup for us that should fulfill a role for us as a #2. Dan Gronkowski will find time as a blocking TE / H-Back type player.

    • Benjamin Watson ($2,880,000)
    • Dan Gronkowsi ($540,000)
    • Bear Pascoe ($300,000)

    Offensive Line

    Offensive line was another area that we knew we wanted to focus on. While Joe Thomas and Alex Mack are among the best at their respective positions, other players could be upgraded. Charlie Johnson, who struggled a little bit at LT, should be a natural fit at RT. Mike Briesel was brought in to start at one of the guard spots. Mike Pollak, Ramon Foster, and Tony Pashos (brought back on reduced salary) offer veteran depth and starting capability. We added two lineman through the draft; David Decastro, who will be plugged right in at guard, and Tom Compton, who could develop into a serviceable tackle for us down the road.

    • Alex Mack ($1,303,000)
    • Charlie Johnson ($300,000)
    • David DeCastro ($800,000)
    • Joe Thomas ($9,200,000)
    • Mike Briesel ($300,000)
    • Mike Pollak ($300,000)
    • Ramon Foster ($300,000)
    • Tom Compton ($350,000)
    • Tony Pashos ($300,000)

    Defensive Line

    Having traded both Athaya Rubin and Jabaal Sheard, I realized that the time was in dire need of some pass rush. Enter Elvis Dumervil. The former Bronco should wreak havoc for us in this scheme. Opposite Dumervil we’re going to be starting Wallace Gillberry, a player who was miscast the last couple of years in Kansas City’s 3-4. Kiante Tripp and Phil Taylor will occupy the inside spots, while Auston English, Letroy Guion, and Derek Wolfe will offer rotational depth and play making ability. It was important for us to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-8 players capable of rotating in and making plays. We plan to really get after the QB, and it starts up front with these guys.

    • Auston English ($465,000)
    • Brian Sanford ($465,000)
    • Derek Wolfe ($350,000)
    • Emmanuel Stephens ($415,000)
    • Elvis Dumervil ($14,000,000)
    • Kiante Tripp ($465,000)
    • Letroy Guion ($300,000)
    • Phil Taylor ($1,618,000)
    • Scott Paxson ($435,000)
    • Tydreke Powell ($300,000)
    • Wallace Gillberry ($1,800,000)

    Linebackers

    It’s a somewhat thin group of linebackers, but in the 4-3, it’s all about quality over quantity. While it’s true we plan to rotate our defensive linemen early and often, that’s not the case with our linebackers. Our three starters (D’Qwell Jackson, Jovan Belcher, and Demario Davis) are all capable of playing 3 downs. These men are versatile as well, as I believe each one is capable of playing any of the 3 linebacker spots. Ben Jacobs, Brian Smith, Kaluka Maiava, and Quinton Spears offer depth and insurance in the event of injury.

    • Ben Jacobs ($465,000)
    • Brian Smith ($465,000)
    • Demario Davis ($450,000)
    • D'Qwell Jackson ($9,680,000)
    • Jovan Belcher ($1,250,000)
    • Kaluka Maiava ($565,000)
    • Quinton Spears ($465,000)

    Defensive Backs

    This secondary remains a work-in progress. Greg Toler and William Middleton have been brought in to man the corner positions. While it was tough to lose Joe Haden, we view Middleton as an ascending player who is more than capable of holding his own against the #1 WRs of the AFC North. Toler is coming over from Arizona, where he will be given an opportunity to claim the #2 job. Josh Norman and James Dockery will function as our nickel and dime CBs. At the safety spots, we’ve got the underrated TJ Ward returning and Ray Ventrone stepping in at FS, though don’t sleep on Christian Thompson, who could find himself starting by the end of the season.

    • Christian Thompson ($350,000)
    • Greg Toler ($300,000)
    • James Dockery ($465,000)
    • Josh Norman ($350,000)
    • Ray Ventrone ($700,000)
    • TJ Ward ($490,000)
    • William Middelton ($4,000,000)

    Special Teams

    We’re bringing both Phil Dawson and Reggie Hodges back to Cleveland. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

    • Phil Dawson ($300,000)
    • Reggie Hodges ($300,000)

    Base Offense

    Offensively we're going to be running a lot of Shotgun / Spread / Option stuff. A lot of our players were brought on with the intent of running a wide open type offense. We're listing Colt McCoy as the starter, but we plan to give Tim Tebow every chance to win the starting job in the fall. All of the Wide Receivers in this group are dangerous, as are the running backs in the flats and out of the backfield.

    • Quarterback: Colt McCoy / Tim Tebow / Nick Foles
    • Running Back: Darren McFadden / Brandon Jackson / Joseph Addai
    • Fullback / H-Back: Owen Marecic / Dan Gronkowski
    • Tight End: Benjamin Watson / Dan Gronkowski / Bear Pascoe
    • Wide Receiver: Larry Fitzgerald / Carlton Mitchell
    • Wide Receiver: Jordy Nelson / Braylon Edwards
    • Wide Receiver (slot): Josh Cribbs / Kevin Walter
    • Left Tackle: Joe Thomas / Charlie Johnson
    • Left Guard: Mike Briesel
    • Center: Alex Mack
    • Right Guard: David DeCastro / Ramon Foster
    • Right Tackle: Charlie Johnson / Tony Pashos

    Base Defense

    We're running a Wide 9 / Cover 2 Press type defense. Had I known before the season started how en vogue this defense would be, I may have gone a different direction. However, with the proliferation of Spread concepts in the NFL I feel like this is the defense that will counter it. Running this defense means I won't be doing a lot of blitzing, intead relying on stunts and physical guile from my defensive line to get to the quarterback. That's why it was so important for me to get as many players as I could along the defensive line.

    • Defensive End: Elvis Dumervil
    • Defensive Tackle: Kiante Tripp / Derek Wolfe
    • Defensive Tackle: Phil Taylor / Latroy Guion
    • Defensive End: Wallace Gillberry / Auston English
    • Weakside Linebacker: Demario Davis / Kaluka Maiava
    • Middle Linebacker: D'Qwell Jackson
    • Strongside Linebacker: Jovan Belcher
    • Cornerback: William Middelton
    • Cornerback: Greg Toler
    • Cornerback (nickel): Josh Norman
    • Free Safety: Ray Ventrone / Christian Thompson
    • Strong Safety: T.J. Ward

    Special Teams
    • Kick Returner: Josh Cribbs
    • Punt Returner: Josh Cribbs / Darren McFadden
    • Kicker: Phil Dawson
    • Punter: Reggie Hodges

    QB
    HOU QB1 Carson Palmer $8,000,000
    HOU QB2 TJ Yates $465,000

    TJ is still the future of this team IMO, but a year or two under a vet will do him good.

    RB
    HOU RB1 Arian Foster $9,000,000
    HOU RB2 Rashard Mendenhall $650,000
    HOU RB3 Bernard Scott $565,000
    HOU RB4 Javarris Williams $465,000
    HOU FB1 Lawrence Vickers $300,000
    HOU FB2 Rhett Ellison $350,000

    Foster is going to be a huge free agent next yr, so picking up Mendenhall and letting him recover this yr to have for next yr in case we cant come to terms with Foster was vital.
    WR
    HOU WR1 Mike Williams $3,000,000
    HOU WR2 Jeremy Maclin $933,250
    HOU WR3 Golden Tate $490,000
    HOU WR4 Riley Cooper $490,000
    HOU WR5 Juron Criner $550,000
    HOU WR6 Blair White $490,000
    HOU WR7 Devin Thomas $300,000

    Giving up Andre Johnson was a hard choice but in the long run, better for the team, when AJ gets hurt,which sadly is almost yearly the depth was just not there. Now we have what is probably the deepest unit in the league.

    TE
    HOU TE1 Owen Daniels $6,500,000
    HOU TE2 Coffman, Chase $300,000

    Owen is a Pro bowl TE we think under the right system Chase can be very good.

    OL
    HOU OL Eric Wood $800,000 1C
    HOU OL (R) David Molk $350,000 2C
    HOU OL Duane Brown $781,500 1LT
    HOU OL Derek Newton $465,000 2LT
    HOU OL Wade Smith $2,000,000 1LG
    HOU OL Thomas Austin $435,000 2LG
    HOU OL Sebastian Vollmer $650,000 1RG
    HOU OL Antoine Caldwell $565,000 2RG
    HOU OL Jeremy Trueblood $1,500,000 1RT
    HOU OL (R) Landon Walker $300,000 2RT

    The Texans made some great additions to our line.
    DL
    HOU RDE1 Mario Williams $12,997,500.00
    HOU RDE2 (R) Julian Miller $350,000

    HOU NT2 (R) Jaye Howard $300,000
    HOU DT1 (R)Fletcher Cox $900,000
    HOU DT2 Shaun Cody $2,250,000
    HOU LDE Kyle Vanden Bosch $5,000,000
    HOU LDE2 Selvie, George $750,000

    We switched to a 4-3 to better use the best player on our team. Mario Williams is an all star DE and we intend on him retiring a Texan.

    My goals

    1. Create the most menacing and disruptive front 7 in the NFL. I knew by trying to accomplish this goal it would mean I wouldn't be able to focus on making big offensive splashes.

    2. Create an offense that was more balanced, with playmaking ability, one that forces a defense to protect every blade of grass and in turn open up space for my playmakers to operate. Elite talent isn't needed to accomplish this; all I needed was guys who compliment each other's skill set and maximizes each other's potential.

    3. Have one of the top special teams units in the league.

    Defensively, I wanted guys who were scheme versatile capable of executing a hybrid defense and changing the front without having to change personnel.
    A) Calais Campbell represents a vital piece of the puzzle and is worthy of his lofty price tag b/c I needed a stud LDE with versatility, one who could dominate and free up Von Miller while allowing Dareus & Williams to maximize their scheme flexibility. In order for Miller to play that 4-3 SOLB role similar to his one in Denver, I needed a LDE who could do it all, and do it well. Calais will play 4-3 LDE in base and move inside during nickel and dime so that Miller can rush from the left end position. In 3-4 looks, Calias is obviously the LDE with either Dareus and Williams mixing it up at nose and RDE.

    B) At defensive tackle, Dareus can line up at different spots along the line, and after doing some digging I found out that ProFootballFocus's 2010 DPOY, Kyle Williams, played the majority of his snaps at DT and DE despite being listed as the 3-4 NT. So these guys should be able to mix up odd and even fronts.

    C) Von Miller. He should explode in this defense with studs along the dline commanding attention.

    D) Connor Barwin was added b/c he's a playmaking who fits my necessary "scheme versatile" mold. On paper Houston is a 3-4, but IIRC the Texans frequently lined up in a 5-2 with Barwin and Reed essentially acting as defensive ends. With Calais, Marcel, and Kyle, Barwin and Miller can do the same in Buffalo, only with more effectiveness.

    E) Patrick Willis -In order to bring this extra pressure, it's critical to add a middle linebacker who can handle the extra stress put on the position during these situations and help pick up the slack. What better guy exists for this stuff than Patrick Willis? So I spared no cost to bring him in.

    F) Thomas Decoud. Bringing extra defensive pressure requires a free safety who can aid in run support which is why Decoud was my most coveted FS option in FA.

    G)Defensive back: Tarrell Brown was great in San Fran's pressuring defense, and he's ascending as a player, so he's a welcome addition. Richard Marshall pairs with him for a solid 1-2. Justin Rogers & Buster Scrine have a lot of potential in nickel as Rogers is proving to be a possible late round draft gem. 2nd rounder Josh Robinson will make a viable back up on the perimeter. 2nd year SS, DaNorris Searcy, flashed starting ability during his limited 2011 time, so I saw no need to not let him jump into the lineup and continue developing on the field.



    Offensively
    Prior to Ryan Fitzpatrick's 4 cracked ribs in week 8 and prior to tons of injury along the Oline and a constant shuffling of mediocre WRs & TEs, Buffalo was actually putting up some points, so there should be no problem improving upon their initial 2011 success with the key additions I made:

    A) Russell Okung. I addressed the LT position with the immensely talented high 1st rounder. That's an upgrade over the departed Bell. It took me a lot of maneuvering to make this acquisition (and the others as well). It was a painstaking effort to gradually build value through trades and repeated trades.

    B) Jacoby Ford was added as the flanker b/c one of the greatest needs known to Bills' fans was the speedy deep threat who could open up the offense and draw some coverage away from Johnson. Ford's hand injury hurt him last year, but when he's on the field, he requires attention b/c even top corners like Flowers & Carr can't cover him 1 on 1 as evidence by their torching in Oakland's overtime win vs KC. Ford helps keep a defense more honest which is important in an offense that operates around Fitz getting the ball out of his hand quickly. In a zone blocking offense, Ford helps give Spiller some added running room, opens up receiving opportunities underneath and in the flats for Spiller, Greg Little, and Marcedes Lewis. What Ford does for the rest of the offense is well worth his 2nd round price tag. I'm sure the Raiders know this well. He also joins fellow Clemson Tiger, CJ Spiller, to form the NFL's fastest WR-RB tandem. These guys make eachother better.

    C) Greg Little. Made an impact his rookie year despite missing his final season at UNC. The 2nd biggest piece of the offensive puzzle was the need for a big, physical go-to WR who could also score in the redzone. Little is an ideal slot receiver for this offense and a massive upgrade.

    D) Marcedes Lewis. Lewis is a Pro Bowl caliber TE and a perfect compliment for a spread offense that needs a dual threat TE, one who can make plays in traffic, take advantage of mismatches, be a threat in the redzone (evidence by his 10 TDs in 2010) as well as act as an extra tackle in the ground game to help spring Spiller who's always a threat to break a run outside. (The 230 pound Little can also seal off blocks from his slot position.)

    E) James Casey. Buffalo lacked a #2 TE so it was important to add a talented Hback like Casey who is still ascending in his Hback role. His effectiveness in Houston's zone blocking ground game and Foster & Tate's success is greatly welcomed.

    F) Offensive Line. Prior to injury, Buffalo's oline was one of if not the best in the NFL last year, so it was extremely important to replace the loss of center, Eric Wood, with one of top zone blocking centers in the league, Scott Wells. The rest of the line is young and ascending, so there's no reason for this unit to not be one of the league's best.

    Side note: At wide receiver I didn't feel the need to go overboard with 15 different #1 receivers which will ultimately do nothing but end in problems and conflict out of forcing a bunch of alpha players to split reps and pass attempts. Besides, in a spread offense like Buffalo, #1 receivers aren't needed all over the field as it's more important for the receivers to compliment each other and allow the offense to create and take advantage of mismatches. If Fitzpatrick's 4 cracked ribs and poor surrounding cast outside of Johnson & Spiller/Jackson could rack up 3850 passing yards and 24 passing TDs, then a healthy Fitzpatrick with Stevie Johnson, Jacoby Ford, Greg Little, Marcedes Lewis, and Spiller should be enough for 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs. That should be more than enough production to win a Super Bowl when the defense is busy sending QBs to the Emergency Room. lol.

    Special Teams
    Since games can be won or lost on special teams, it was important to ensure I had a solid kicker, punter, and long snapper, as well as the addition of both of ProFootballFocus's "Special Teams Pro-Bowlers", Cedric Peerman & Heath Farwell, with Farwell being one of the top special teamers in the league the past 5 years. Elite returners [Spiller, Ford, and Buster Skrine] will share kick and punt return duties.

    Vote for Pedro.
