2023 Browns NFL Draft Prospects
-
"A concern of Scott’s game is his drops. According to Pro Football Focus, Scott had a drop rate of 11.3%"
As much as I love the story of a local kid, that's damn near going to scratch him immediately off my list. Seen too many receivers with questionable hands come through. And my cut-off is about that 9% mark, volume dependent.
I thought that was the WR with the insane drop rate, but when I looked him up a scouting report didn't mention it (what?) so I thought perhaps it was another local kid I was mixing him up with.
I still like the Penn State kid, though.

Not to put any pressure on you or jinx ya - but you got me intrigued by him too! The good news about that is if he disappoints - you can blame me.
I usually get 2 draft magazines that are a good guide; but I haven't seen either one yet. They usually come out right after the Combines without the recently updated 40 times. Last year, I only found Lindy's Sports Pro Football Draft here in Florida. They prolly think people in Florida can't read or something judging by head-on collisions on 1 way streets and the "No Cop No Stop" tickets being given right next to those adorable red stop signs. We can read - honest!
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
I don't know much about Mitchell. Will have to check.
I really like Achane, but I really doubt we use a 2nd rounder on a back.
My feeling is Berry discounts backs a bit. Most teams do to some degree. I would love to get the guy if he was there for us in the 3rd, or even try to work a trade to move up to get him if he falls a bit further than 42, and i think he will.
He might be near BPA at 42, but that might be on some boards, but not on ours.
Also, I saw something in one of the articles that Berry thinks Ford can fill the receiving back role. I think Achanes value will be determined by how many teams think he can play 3 downs. If most see him as a Sproles type player, then he probably drops to the 3rd or further. If a team or twelve think he can take the rock on a regular basis and be productive, then he won't make it to 42.

Ss Antonio Johnson or Jordan Battle might be there too as BPA and position of need. And I agree on Ford. I like him a lot and think he gets a greater role should we drop or trade a RB.

A.T. Perry still looking good. Reminds me of Michael Jenkins at times.
Also, speaking of Buckeyes - Stroud really showing out for that #1 overall, #1 QB.

I usually look for the Lindy's magazine around St. Patrick's Day, that seems to be when it comes out.

atta ECU Pirate Keaton Mitchell ?
4.38 40.. ranks 3rd, with #1 10 split of 1.48
Go catch the ball Key !
Give you one guess who came in #2 in the 10 yd split at 1.51. A clue can be found above. And what does that tell you? The other one is the long distance home run hitter that few DBs can catch when he breaks through. They may both be right there in the 2nd when we pick, maybe one is BPA. Ya never know.

We spent a 5th on Jerome Ford..
I'm a grad of where K.Hunt graduated from.. I'm gonna hate losing a animal like Hunt.. but Ford's RB2 in 2023 is coming..
Achane has a 2nd or 3rd round grade ..
I need a rookie back to boot Felton or D'Ernest Johnson's RFA deal at camp..
I'd prefer one of Deuce/Mitchell or Hull and hope we only spend a Ford 5th or a Felton's 6th rounder to replace one or both..
I still can't believe RB John Kelly has not been picked off our PS.. Bigger needs than a RB, before the 5th/imo

The good thing about the RB position these days is they aren't being prioritized early on in the draft. I'll bet there will be some good RBs available in round 7 or in the undrafted opportunities. As much as I criticize Berry, he does a pretty good at finding late round RBs that can help us. Now if he can expand this art of not reaching on guys to other positions, he just might get this whole thang figured out here in 2023...
-
Off the top of my head, we could do with more than one IDL. Possibly an Edge as replacement for Clowney. A replacement for Deion Jones, who we can no longer afford. A possible replacement or upgrade over Walker Jr. An upgrade over DPJ as #2 WR. An upgrade over Bryant as #2 TE. Competition and a possible '24 replacement for Harris at C. And there is probably more...
With respect, why are we talking about RB? Even without Hunt, it is one of our most stacked position groups. Probably second only to CB. Would be more than happy to go into the season with Johnson and Ford behind Chubb.

All true, but how often does a guy land as BPA that has true timed track speeds that would have come in 6th in the last Olympics in both the 100m and 200m. He has that 7th gear and very good hands to boot with the ability to lose coverage and get those long 1st downs or better. Achane may be sitting right there on day 2 with speed that has proven to transfer to full pads. The reason I put the TD video against Bama was because of the kind of speed only a Bama has on STs top to bottom. He made them look slow.

We've been talking about needing to make IDL a priority since last year at this time so I don't mind people talking about the RB position in the same type of places we've been adding depth to that position (anywhere from round 5 to undrafted FAs). People have been talking about finding a WR in this draft. I know I'd like one.
When your draft begins in round 2, it's not a year to show up to the draft buffet on an empty stomach. I think we'll get a better idea of what the LBers can do when better IDL keeps the OL off our Backers. When we couldn't do that 4 LBers ended up on IR.

It's not that I mind discussing the position. Heck, I'm partaking in the discussion.
It's that I would prioritize all the positions I mentioned over RB currently, because of the backs we already have. Wouldn't even spend a late-rounder on one.

Sounds good, but if the BPA is a RB that's so much better than an alternative position of need, what then?
For example, DT is a high position of need, but this is one of the weakest drafts ever for a quality DT. Which do you take then?

I don't think we need to draft one either; but I wouldn't mind adding 1 or 2 Undrafted FA RBs. I think Herman Fontenot was one of those back in our 86 season we went 12-4 in. He had 47 receptions out of the backfield playing almost exclusively on 3rd downs back when we already had Kevin Mack, Earnest Byner, and Curtis Dickey splitting most of the carries. Fontenot was a nobody from LSU that converted countless 3rd downs for us lining up in the backfield and catching the ball. That's a perfect example of why you still look for an undrafted RB even when you already have a crowded backfield. This is exactly what our current team is missing IMO.

BPA is a fine creed, but it shouldn't become a religion. Surely a quality player for the many positions I mentioned will be available when we get to pick. We have too many needs. RB shouldn't even be a want.
Same goes for CB for that matter. As for the counter that Nickel as actually a need, because Newsome said he didn't want to play that anymore, I say he should stop whining like a little b***h and play his ass off. Emerson surpassed him already.

UFA is another matter. No capital wasted there. And I do like a strong backfield for sure.

Busy watching Pickens, IDL from South Carolina.
But when you're watching the trenches, you can't help but watch the assignments from the opposing Oline as well. This center for Arkansas has REALLY caught my eye - #51, Stromberg. Good eyes, good decision making, good wingspan and hand usage/anchor for a center and moves laterally fluid enough. Looks like he's the one calling protections at the line too when the Razorbacks go up tempo. Speaks to his coaches trusting his knowledge of the offense and how to set blocking points = football I.Q. He also has a nice first punch in his short sets when he goes into pass pro, almost reminds me of the strikes you see OT's land.
Arky has a nice mix so far of gap and zone calls, and he does a nice job looking strong and well leverage, then explosive and sound in the other. Count me on board as interested in a VERY early day 3 prospect here.
edit:
6'3, 306 with a 33 & 1/2 arm is great size for a center. And seeing how this coaching staff seems to like taller centers, (Pocic, Deaton)... I'd say he's on the radar.
Also can't help but notice the parallel the last few years in Browns personnel drafted and their overall athletic score via NFL.com.

Take a look at 1st team AA Center John Michael Schmitz of Minn. Same size minus 5 lbs. and highest graded OL for 2022 by PFF. Drafttek says he's a mid-2nd rounder. But if we are not looking that high for another center or OG, seems like your guy would be a good pick for sure.

Somewhere in this draft we probably need to draft a center. I doubt we sign Pocic, and Harris is in the last year of his contract and he seems to be an injury risk. He just gets crushed under the larger D linemen.

Our tackle position seems tenuous too...
Will the Browns extend Wills? Will Conklin continue to be injury-prone?
And at guard, Joel Bitonio was drafted in the infamous Justin Gilbert/Billy Manziel draft. That was a lifetime ago.

Thanks! To your point, the back-up to Pocic was the 6-5 OG Hjalte Froholt (who also played OL for Arkansas like Stromberg before NE drafted him in the 4th round in 2019).
It'll be interesting to see what happens with 6'1" Nick Harris drafted by Berry. He had an unfortunate season ending injury when he started at Center in the very 1st preseason game. Prior to that, Stefanski had high praise about the off season work Harris put in to position himself for a great shot at the starting job. Seems kind of interesting what ideal frames Callahan prefers at Center and what Andrew Berry preferred back in 2020. Since that has recently changed to taller guys, it looks like Berry might have listened to some input from Callahan about frame/size preference. That's a good thing they're on the same page an working together.

Conklin always tries to play through injuries, which always seems to either aggravate the current injury or to predispose him to another one that causes him to miss starts. Hopefully, he's healed up this offseason especially considering the generous new contract he got for a guy with his wear and tear.
To state the obvious, Wills really has to step it up this year. The inconsistency at Left Tackle on the blind side of our $230 million QB looks like a red carpet welcome to the edge rushers on our schedule. Reminds me of the 68 year old body Guards Saddam Hussain had protecting him from American Troops. Gee, what could possibly go wrong there? Tackle seems like a bigger priority than Center to me at this point.
The good thing is I think we have sufficient competition at Center to where we shouldn't have to spend a pick on 1 this year.
I see needs as DT/IDL, Safety, OT, WR, DE/Edge Rush, TE2 (given the situation at LT), LB. The first need won't be satisfied with just 1 guy. Given how often Denzel Ward gets injured we could use some depth at Cornerback. Feels like we're heading to an all you can eat buffet on an empty stomach without a 1st round pick...

I doubt, especially with our current injury ridden log-jam, that we'll be entertaining a center that high. Which is why I was looking early day 3 that also offers some positional flexibility.
As Flugs pointed out as well, given Deaton and now Pocic, this front office is seeing some benefits of a center with some serious wingspan.
