I was bored at work so I tried out a fun feature I've seen before on Pro Football Network, "Offseason Manager". It goes through FA then I did their mock draft and combined the 2 to put together a roster for next year, I think it turned out with one we'd be really excited for. Below are the actions, with reasons for some, and the results. FYI for how the thing works, guys will reject offers so I didn't just make up the salaries, though I did start super low on many to see how cheap I could get them.Step 1 - cutsCut Bosa, Pipkins, Edward, Haskins, and some others to create cap space.Step 2 - Re-signNote that the feature for some reason did the AAV as the year 1 cap hit even though it is usually lower. I compensated for that by doing Herbert and James restructures that I don't think we would do yet (11M savings) and some of the accepted deals I think were a little on the low side, so it feels like it balanced out ok.Dobbins $8m (seems a little high but he wouldn't go lower and I want him back bad)Poona Ford $5m (This is one like I mentioned that I think will cost more IRL)Khalil Mack $8M (Another unrealistic low but he accepted my low ball starting point lol)Perryman $2MFulton $3MPalmer $3MHeinicke $5MSmartt $1.2MTart $3MDye $1.2MMolden $2.5MJefferson $1.5MStep 3 FANote: This is in the order I signed them, which gives a feel for my priority list, also remember these salaries do seem kind of low but typically first year cap hits are lower and this feature doesn't do that so it balances kind of.OG James Daniels $14M (I went in thinking I'd get Trey Smith but he wasn't there. Luckily Daniels who may be better was surprisingly available!OC Ryan Kelly $10M (no brainer at that price)WR Chris Godwin $20m (Higgins and others weren't available so he and Diggs were only true elite X receivers, didn't want to enter into the draft forced to go WR early but I do worry about his injury history and age. Not sure if he's back 100% by week 1 but having Palmer back helps that and I plan to get a WR, TE, or both early in the draft)EDGE Chase Young $10M (needed edge depth and wanted a first off the bench guy good enough that I wasn't forced into drafting EDGE early)S Justin Reid $12M (I did not expect to even look at safety except maybe a depth guy but I had so much cap space left and he was there. Would give us best S combo in the league by far and allow us to move James around a ton. I also think Gilman had a sneakily down year so moving him from meh starter to great depth is a plus)OT Dillard $3M (He's really good depth and I had no backup at OT and only 1 total OL backup)LB Hicks $5M (He's old but still good and much better vs the pass than Perryman. Allows Perryman to only play early downs and makes our LB room strong and very deep. Also, I had plenty of cap left and he seemed like by far the best use for it)Step 4 DraftGoing into the draft I saw needs at IDL, TE, RB, and IOL. Below are my picks with reasoning. Disclaimer that I'm a huge LSU fan and that is evident lol.Pick 22 - DT Mason Graham Michigan (No idea how he was available but he was so this was a no-brainer even before the Harbaugh connection)TRADE (Send Pick 58 to Cleveland for 67 and a 2026 3rd)Pick 68 - TE Mason Taylor LSU (I think Taylor is a really good receiving TE with speed and athleticism but also the size to develop his blocking - which we have Dissley and Fisk for at the moment anyway)Pick 86 - OG/OC Garrett Dellinger (He's versatile and has some great traits especially his strength. He needs to bet a little quicker but he's pro-ready and would be awesome depth at C and G or even beat out Zion for the starting spot as a rookie)TRADE (Send pick 124 and a 2026 4th to TB for pick 120)Pick 120 - EDGE Bradyn Swinson LSU (I noticed him still available and jumped on it. He was great his last year at LSU and I think is underrated because the rest of the defense was ass and he was unknown before his last year. He has size, athleticism, and was productive last year. I can't believe I got him this late!)Pick 177 - OC Jake Majors Texas (No idea who he is but on their board he was one of the top BPAs and fit a huge need at a position that often gets drafted late and has guys taken day 3 become studs)Pick 183 - CB Jermari Harris Iowa (No idea who this is and don't really care. He was one of the top ranked BPAs and to me just a placeholder for Horwitz to do be the day 3 CB guru again right here)Pick 215 - RB Donovan Edwards Michigan (Harbaugh connection and I think this is really good value for him)Pick 220 RB Travis Etienne UGA (I'm actually lower on him than most but no one else looked appealing and it gives us a Vidal/Edwards/Etienne group competing for carries behind Dobbins)Pick 253 WR Zachari Franklin Illinois (I didn't recognize hardly anyone left so I just grabbed the top WR. I don't like players who are bad guys but if you aren't like that, maybe Lacy could be a dart throw hoping he doesn't go to jail over the wreck he caused)Conclusion - Final RosterI think this roster is really great. Got depth behind Dobbins, added a high level X receiver while keeping Palmer as a WR3, added an explosive rookie pass catching TE, replaced our 2 awful IOL guys with studs and got young depth behind our starters plus a great swing tackle on the outside, added Chase Young and a high upside rookie to the edge rotation losing Bosa, got a steal at IDL in the first and brought back the 2 guys who outperformed expectations, added a really good vet LB and kept the room intact, and made the safety room by far the best in the NFL. The only thing missing is a true shut down CB1 but I'm hoping Still or Hart can become that.This was a pretty fun exercise, if anyone else wants to do it here are the links:https://ift.tt/B72QItd https://ift.tt/5JCVDbu FINAL ROSTERQB Herbert HeinickeRB Dobbins Edwards Vidal Etienne WR McConkey Palmer DavisWR Godwin Johnston FranklinTE Dissley Taylor Smart FiskLT Slater DillardRT Alt LG Johnson DellingerRG Daniels SalyerC Kelly Majors ED Mack Young Swinson DL Ford Ogbonnia Egoibe DL Graham Tart Matlock ED Tui Dupree LB Henley Perryman ColsonLB Hicks Dye NeimanNick Still Taylor CB Hart Leonard CB Fulton Harris FS Reid Gilman SS James Molden Jefferson K DickerP ScottLS HarrisThis is 56 guys so 3 will have to go PS or if we might have guys on IR
