Definitely a first round talent. Considering the Browns admitted he was a player they were looking at in the first round, a real steal.

I am very pleased with the pick personally. I like intelligent players and taking risks in the NFL.

Also, I like players who are not on the “best teams” and stick out because of their skills and not over-compensated because they are on an elite team. This guy will probably be rotating in quite frequently first 6 weeks and will be a starter…[Read more]

Saw 2 things on him today. In 451 coverage snaps he has given up 1 TD. Last year on 3rd/4th down QBs had a 0.0 passer rating towards him.

I don’t understand the speed concern in the report as he ran a 4.38 40

I’ve seen reports that the Panthers will hold off on picking up Sam Darnold’s 5th year option until sometime after the draft. That could be a signal to some teams behind them that are in need of a QB to come up with a trade offer or we just might take one of these quarterbacks. /Carolina could be looking for a Sonny Weaver kind of deal.

The Ravens are a prime candidate to spend two of their top three picks on O-linemen. The third could be spent on a wide receiver. Where they end up using the picks remain to be seen. With two first round picks, they could possibly even trade up.

Regardless of who we draft, I hope its the BPA. Just because we have DTs on one year deals doesn’t mean we have to draft one in the first round. Teams get in trouble when they start reaching for players instead of drafting the board.

This sounds like a bean counter move. As much as I hate how this looks, I do think that there are other alternatives out there. Had Richardson been scheduled to make 7 mil instead of 13 mil, I hardly think we’d be having this conversation.

I believe the Browns are going to be drafting the BPA who fits our scheme in the first round. IMO it could be a DT, DE, CB or S. Possibly even a LB. I don’t think this limits us at all.
Richardson’s replacement is already on the roster. Billings opted out last year and will be starting this year. Plus we signed a DT in free agency. Clowney can…[Read more]

I always thought the Browns would draft a DT. One thing to look for is that Clowney can also be moved inside at times and I would fully expect that to happen.

Njoku is scheduled to make $6,013,000 this year and will be an unrestricted free agent after the season. There is no way he restructures.

I agree about possible draft trades, either moving up or gathering more ammunition for future years.

In signing Clowney and Takk McKinley, they definitely upgraded the DL. The defense should make a significant improvement this year, much like the offense did last year.

The team does need to make the playoffs again this year to prove that last…[Read more]
