The Off-Season

As I said before, this team is practically empty. As in we only have a 20 players when we need at least 53 by the start of the regular season.

FREE AGENCY:

To start free agency I targeted every top tier free agent at all the positions we needed. Unfortunately, not everyone accepted the contracts I offered them so I wasn't able to fill all the positions I wanted. 

The top free agent that I signed was Corner Back Prince Amukamara to a five year contract worth a total of 54.5 Million Dollars. At the moment, his 26 years old which means that his contract should end when his around the age of 30 or 31 and that good because that when his skills start to deteriorate.

Next, I signed I signed 28 year old Defensive Tackle Henry Melton to a 4 year deal worth a total of 22 Million Dollars. 

To just get a free safety, I signed 27 year old Kendrick Lewis. I don't expect Kendrick to be a starter his whole stent her because I hope to draft a better guys in future years. 

To fill our  needs at Wide Receiver, I signed 25 year old Jarrett Boykin who caught 80 passes for 841 yards and 8 Touchdown so we hope that we get that type of production for him. 

My plan was to draft a couple of offensive lineman in the draft, so just in case my drafted offensive lineman didn't pan out, I signed Veteran Tackle Tyson Clabo to a 2 year deal worth 3.44 Million dollars. 

THE DRAFT: 

I had the 10th overall pick, so I was conflicted on whether to go with a Tackle or a Corner Back. So I talked about the conflict with my mentor, Keron Smith,and we ultimately decided to draft a Tackle. I made this decision because, in my division, I have to face the Denver Broncos, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the San Diego Chargers who all have great defensive lines. Also, I scouted a Corner back that I thought was good and was projected to be drafted in the sixth round. 

Draft picks:

1st Round - Left Tackle - Kirk Lane - 88 Overall

2nd Round - Corner Back - Derek Burnett - 73 Overall

3rd Round - Right Tackle - Owamagbe Ogbonna - 73 Overall

4th Round - Left End - Edivaldo McKinney - 68 Overall 

5th Round - Corner Back - Priest Maclin - 78 Overall

6th Round - Wide Receiver - Sergia Black - 64 Overall 

7th Round - Kicker - Justin Perkins - 61 Overall 

Overall Thoughts: 

Overall, I am pleased with the drat, in the sense that I have found 2 players that are key to a championship win in our future in Kirk Lane and Priest Maclin but we'll see how they develop as the season progresses.
