The Problem with DePodesta the bean counter:
Funny pic, but I don't see how that applies to DePodesta?
In the beginning the plan was to get rid of players from a team that won 1 game over 2 seasons, build some assets, and go from there. What we are seeing now is the result of the plan. We will soon find out if the plan pays dividends.
Seems the pics are reversed.

looking forward to seeing this guy in the pre season

2019 Review: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about WES MARTIN: Wes Martin is already in line to start at left guard as there isn’t much competition that pre-existed and it was such a sore spot in 2018. The powerful run blocker will still have to earn his stripes in training camp however.

There's a rumor out there about the Browns trading/signing for Aaron Donald. That would be the nuts if it came about.
-
CB Thakarius Keyes. He's a 6'1 , 202 lb. camp body. A nice big corner. Mike Pettine would love him. A 7th round pick of the Chiefs in 2020. Was with Chicago & Indy in 2021. No stats last year.
Enjoyed a 2 week vacation to OH-io & Michigan missing 1 roster transaction..
For the Browns to add CB Thakarius "BoPete" Keyes..
The Browns waived 2022 7th round draft pick, C/G Dawson Deaton w/injury designation.. (in 2022, D.Deaton tore his ACL in August going to IR)

And this is okay because it looks like we already had a young Wypler Snapper ahead of Deaton on the depth chart anyway... Welcome back Gumbs!

Interesting numbers but if Wills don't get his shit togedda!... Numbers ain't gonna matta!.. Only to say the kid is a guard so.. No fear there right? I'm really intrigued by Dawand Jones... He has the potential to be special.. But.. Lets not get ahead of ourselves right? I would like to see Berry start hitting on some of these picks.. The Merry-Go-Round gets tiresome...
-
These type of Camp sudden moves always spark my interest. (Waived 1 hour after practice) And I'll keep my dollar, that Berry won't make a move until mid August
We have one open roster spot !
CB Thakarius 'BoPete' Keyes was waived with injury designation for a finger injury.. Browns never reported a injured finger/nor did Keyes miss any practice time.

#Browns worked out Lorenzo Burns (signed), DT Shelby Harris, Michael Joseph, Mac McCainShelby Harris would be a welcomed upgrade of Elliott or Winfrey.. but for now,
the 90th position goes to CB Lorenzo Burns to replace BoPete Keyes

Browns are spoiled for choice at backup OL. Jones, Martin, Wypler, Dunn, Hudson.. and Harris. That's a replacement OL L-R that is at minimum competent and at most a couple of near-all-pros. Here's hoping they're ST all-stars because I don't want to lose any of them.. and it's been a while since we've had anything other than starters.

We better hope some of them are capable to move into starting positions in the near future, because (as you know) the Browns can't avoid salary cap hell forever.

The team has made the signing official while *releasing WR Ra’Shaun Henry* to make room for Wiley.
Roster sits at 90 players

Might be time for a Browns clearer Depth Chart going into PSG3 Eagles inter-squad practices
Latest moves
a.) Browns place LB Jacob Phillips on IR with torn pectoral (out season)
b.) Browns sign former Colts RB Jordan Wilkins
Wilkins has played in 54 games in the NFL since 2018. He averaged over 5.5 yards per carry his first two seasons, on 111 rushing attempts but has only had 13 carries the last two seasons.
c.) Browns waive S Bubba Bolden with injury designation (hamstring injury)
d.) Browns sign S Nate Meadors (former Browns PS)
At this time, only Ourlads is showing the correct personal.. Injury & personal rotation are day to day
️ = Injury/ not returned to practice
Update soon after Philly week
-
10 days away from August 29th's 53 man roster cut down date for 32 teams.
Some releases may become released has soon as this Week before the final Pre-season games.
Cut Tracker's have started-https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-roster-cuts-tracker-team-by-team-player-moves-ahead-of-the-2023-season
I'll hold my water on releasing a Browns 53, on hopes of some Pup's or injury clarity that may open some spots after PSG4 at KC. I'm not even counting out Berry on snooping out trade targets at this juncture before teams release them.
Not the paid click writers though.
Good Depth Chart info from Jack Duffin here
DBN has their opinions here

If this had happened in February, Moore wouldn't be on this team.
My changes with OBR's prediction are:
Fields makes the 53 at LB because all he does is make plays and be in the right spot.
Hickman makes the 53 at S over a 6th LB.
Obscure player note - Sometimes, the jack of all trades guy is in fact good at none of them.

Sadly going to miss this KC game live due to working ?
I've got 40'ish that feel safe..
On the Bubble to finalize.. (any others?)
1.) QB Mond.. Does he take a 53 spot? or waived again to PS? (teams have the option to carry only 2)
2.) RB Felton or Wilkins or FA?
3.) WR Grant vs. Darden vs. Watkins.. goodbye Schwartz !
4.) C Keep Nick Harris, while Wypler swings to G vs Dunn.. Does Forbes move to short term IR? Wes Martin to PS?
5.) DT Elliott vs Hurst vs Togiai
6.) LB Kunaszyk vs. Mike Adams OLB Fields vs Diabate
7.) CB Mike Ford vs AJ Green
8.) S Hickman vs. Bell
9.) DE- Rumors say Wright gets on 53, while M.Thomas gets buried on a injury list? Sam Kamara might be a watch at KC?
Going to assume WR's Michael Woods/M.Goodwin..DE's Thomas-Wright.. LB Taki.. TE H. Bryant & G Drew Forbes see's some type of injury list NFI/PUP/IR
Score some points & get after KC Defense !

AJ Green, Diabate make the team. Hopefully Watkins. Toigai is on the bubble but playing his best football
i think we use the waiver wire for RB.
Id like us to stash Charlie Thomas LB on the practice squad.
I don’t have a clue on the offensive line but I bet some teams are watching our cuts. Same with WR someone will give Schwartz a shot
