Gm Andrew Berry continued to wheel and deal in round 3 dropping down from pick 74 to 88 giving up a 7th rounder # 244 but adding a third round pick in 2021, at #88 he took DT Jordan Elliott from Mizzu then with pick 97 took LB Jacob Phillips from LSU so far I’d say that the new front office has done well in this draft filling needs and adding picks down the line to boot.
I like Elliott’s quick first step. At first glance, don’t expect much more from Phillips beyond special teams this year.
Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
Phillps over Malick Harrison just based on tape had me going WTF?!?!?!?
But if your only gripe thus far is which 3rd round LB is better…thats a good thing I spose.

Any pick in the draft is a crap shoot Last year Mack Wilson this year Jacob Phillips, this front office seems to place their stock in the DL and secondary over the LB position.
Jacob Phillips sounds like a classic Browns linebacker, in the mold of Davis/Jackson/Kirksey/Schobert; covers well, doesn’t miss tackles, solid lateral movement, doesn’t get a lot of penetration or make plays behind the line. Basing this all on scouting reports I’ve read, haven’t seen any games of his.
Kind of a perfect fit. Our linemen are best suited to pinning their ears back and going after the ball every play. We need linebackers who can be both a capable safety net on run plays and also take advantage of forced errors by the quarterback.
