Absolutely fantastic writeup. Your son is jeopardizing his inheritance by texting you that we got Petty with the 19th overall pick. If nothing else he needs to get some coal in his stocking at Christmas time.
I agree with you that our best pick in the draft may have been Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. We may not see him at all in 2015, but it may be like drafting a 1st round CB in 2016. I really hope he can come back to form after the terrible knee injury.
Overall I’m very happy with this draft, much happier than I was last year. No we didn’t get a QB, but I don’t think there was one worth getting. If 2 QB’s from this draft class are starting in the NFL in 4 years I will be beyond shocked.

Ice, I would say that his son was just trying to cash in early….you know, due to an unexpected car accident. 😉
It kind of scares me that I really liked this draft. I know I gave it a B in the other thread, but really, if: (1) We don’t get any real “busts” in the early rounds and (2) some of the late round picks pan out (like last year’s seems to have done), this will have been a franchise changing draft.
Seattle has made a living on their ability to find talent late in the draft. Perhaps we can too.
If Manziel and/or Gilbert can start looking like a 1st rd pick, this team will actually look like its heading in the right direction.
(NOTE: We really don’t need hall of famers to come out of these last two drafts to field a winner…we just need competence.)
And finally, Bill, very nice write-up. But then again, we expect nothing less.
Glad to know that your expectations of me are still high, Durakbane. Where much is given, much is required. I’m convinced that the quarterback situation will be more clear by season’s end; whether it’s someone on the roster or in the 2016 draft. You use the word “competence”. We need players that are both competent and effective in carrying out their assignments; guys that put in the work in the film room, know their job and do it. We don’t need hype. We need football players.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
Very nice write up Bill! Overall I am pleased with the draft. It seems like we have a plan, maybe even an identity in the making. Cautiously optimistic about how the next two seasons will unfold but on paper it’s looking good.

And your success this year will only raise the bar for next year. You better believe that I’m going to be advertising that BFT is the home of draft expert Bill Wunkle.
Bill Wunkle – the only person on the planet Earth that was not in the Browns draft room but knew exactly what they were thinking on draft day.
One thing I neglected to mention in the article . . . After the 19th pick is announced, my boss texted, “Wunkle’s the man.” I had to text back, “Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then”.
