2016 FO took Corey Coleman and Emmanuel Ogbah both over osu's Michael Thomas and Miss St's Chris Jones. Good times.

You left out both over Bama's terror RB Derrick Henry. I ain't never lettin' that go!?

Have started to look at the FA class, because other BBoard members have pointed out that it is uncommon for a rookie IDL to make an immediate impact, and we sure as heck need an improvement there. Spotrac has a nifty overview for those interested.

Turns out getting an improvement over Taven Bryan, who has a projected market value of 6.6 M, is going to be a challenge to say the least. Shy of the Browns entering the Da'Ron Payne sweepstakes that is, but I don't see us forking out 19 M given our tight cap space. Dalvin Tomlinson at 8.5 M seems one of very few other options of getting an improvement at an acceptable price.

Maybe using our second rounder on IDL, and getting a more affordable rotation guy in free agency would be a better bet?

Tomlinson was one of the few bright spots on the Vikings defensive season. I wouldn't be opposed to testing the waters for either him or Greg Gaines.

Too late to bring Andrew Billings back? ?

Bell can catch. I am just not sure he can get open. Either he is too slow, or doesn't have the quicks in his breaks to create seperation....maybe a little of both?

FWIW: According to the stats, apparently he is the best rookie WR at getting separation.

Not here to high jack Dutch's good player Prospect thread ?.. Most have quite a long list of prospects pending Combine.. but a..

WOW ! .. to we have only added 5 players via the Free Agent route ? It's just a tad to soon to discuss the pool of FA's yet because a Tread for that will soon come on that topic.. still no perfect science/to not knowing who hit's the FA list

but here's a perfectly good example/click by position of FA's that may forecast thru the trees..

If you want a more detailed breakdown of every single player and option then please jump into the articles below:

Quarterbacks
Running Backs
Wide Receivers
Tight Ends
Tackles
Guards
Centers
Edges (Starting)
Edges (Rotational)
Defensive Tackles
Linebackers
Cornerbacks
Safeties

( head banging stuff )

This time of year.. I have a bad habit of saving a ton of hype links ?

This Overall rocket science ? project can be found in this link

https://247sports.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/LongFormArticle/Cleveland-Browns-Free-Agency-Cheat-Sheet-204777079/#204777079_1

can't stress enough...There's a L O N G way to go on players the media has no clue of knowing at this time and the Combine is the GM's meeting place..

stay tuned ! A lot of confirmed news is still to come #prospectsgalore.. Now back to drafting some..

Not here to hijack anything, aside from those sweet jerseys and jackets @dutch-ovenposted pictures of

Just don't see how you discuss the draft in a vacuum, without discussing FA. The free agents we can add to fill needs, will have a significant impact on our ability to draft best player available, or fill other needs.

True. However, the Browns are already paying veterans from OTHER NFL teams some big $ against the cap like Deshaun Watson, Jack Conklin (new contract), Wyatt Teller, John Johnson, Anthony Walker, Amari Cooper, Corey Bojorquez, Jakeem Grant, and Jacoby Brissett. Before the NFL increased the salary cap recently, the Browns were one of the teams that had the least amount of cap space available for spending.

Thanks-and agree on Schwartz. We can't afford a WR with speed that can't run routes or catch a cold. And please no Boutte WR from LSU. He's a carbon copy of Schwartz.

Stick a nail in that cough'fin !

I'm still on-board with Parker Washington, he really impressed me during his game vs Ohio State.

Yeah, I like him too..

Reminds me of watching another lion last season, in Johan Dotson in last draft season.. Most thought Dotson was over-drafted when he went Pick #16/but, showed signs of that value at Washington.

WR Parker Washington's combine medicals is something I'm watching..

Nov 22, 2022 — Penn State receiver Parker Washington sustained an injury that will cause him to miss the remainder of the 2022 football season.

If Washington slides to the mid-rounds? a injury red flag may have something to do with it?

What constitutes a drop? Does everybody make that call the same way?

For that reason I don't put a ton of weight in to stats like that. No doubt it is something to consider but if using those figures, I wouldn't eliminate Boutte from my list and put Downs at the top as an absolute.

@korsou-dawg Free Agency and the Draft go hand in hand. So you're absolutely right there, and this should be a thread to discuss all of that.

Not to bogard this talk either, myself and Flugel are going to be on the Browns Board discord around 1:30p EST to go over film on Jed Wills. If Anybody is interested in joining, all are welcomed as usual.

I doubt some..not Infante on most.. In my film study it's.. any catch-able ball within wingspan of 2 hands on ball..

Concentration drops, late in Josh Downs season kinda shocked me with a drop rating at 2%

see my post on Downs above ^^ a n d....I'm not sold on Mingo nor Boutte having the separation speed to play either outside WR positions... I'm seeing both as better NFL inside slot options than Schwartz..

Thanks Gumbs! This is awesome! Maybe we can get MJP to pin it. for us.

gumby73

Thanks Peen & Flug's..

I'm that guy, that will steel good nutz & bolts from any teams writers.. writer Clayton Eckert, joined depot in 2021 around draft season. I've checked his stuff on twitter for some time now.. This was broke down, really well from what I've seen elsewhere.. Pitt. does have pick 2.1 traded from Bears/#50 as well

Stuck watching the ACC.. I was aware of Turner from Wake and Orhorhoro from Clemson.. I've added Matlock & Ojomo to view some games next week..

Combine Week starts March 2nd 3pm.. I'll be over here ?'g to move up from pick #98
