You guys ready for some fun? It's time again for a jrry32 mock. Been a little too long since my last one. Just want to preface by saying my mocks are always what I would personally prefer to do rather than what I SEE the Rams doing.
Re-sign
Tim Barnes C - ERFA Tender($570,000)
Jo-Lonn Dunbar OLB - $4 million over 2 years($1.5 mil first year cap hit)
Release
Cortland Finnegan CB - $7 million in cap relief
Harvey Dahl OG - $4 million in cap relief
Scott Wells C - $4.5 million in cap relief
Mike Person OG - $645,000 in cap relief
Jermelle Cudjo DT - $900,000 in cap relief
Analysis: The cuts are pretty typical and expected at this point. I think Dunbar can be brought back fairly cheap and love the energy he brings to our defense. In this mock, I decided that Saffold got a better offer from a team looking to play him at LT and left.
Free Agency Cap Room - $18.4 million
Free Agency
Alex Mack C - $38 million over 5 years($6 million first year cap hit)
Chris Clemons S - $12 million over 3 years($3.5 million first year cap hit)
John Jerry OG - $3 million over 2 years($1.5 million first year cap hit)
Analysis: I think the Rams will be looking to upgrade the OL in FA and Mack is one of the crowned jewels in this class. He's very arguably the best Center in the NFL, he's still relatively young(28 ) and he's durable. Chris Clemons is a very solid FS and will be making a little less than Glover Quin was signed for last year. He won't be flashy but he's a veteran presence that will provide reliable play as both a run stopper and pass defender. John Jerry is a reclamation project for Boudreau. Has been an alright RG in Miami but hasn't reached his expected potential. He's a big body with a lot of starting experience that will give us a player that can compete at the OG spot.
Trade
Rams trade:
Pick #2
Browns trade:
Pick #4
Pick #26
Browns 4th
Rams trade:
Pick #13
Packers trade:
Pick #21
Packers 3rd
Analysis: Michael Lombardi decides that he wants to move up for his franchise QB...whether that's Bridgewater or Manziel. We don't get the three 1sts or the future 1st but we do get a solid deal from Cleveland. At #13, we aren't infatuated with our options there so when Green Bay, whose looking to move up for Louis Nix or a pass rusher, offers to move up, we take the deal.
