Mock Drafts & Draft Prospects

Who's to say Berry might find trading #54 is the better option again? (pro GM's/staffs get paid to project players draft slot windows/ misfits too,KC K. Toney, example only)

Took a look at some options, ruling out now FA's such as Tee Higgins or Michael Pittman. ^^

Most had rumors at last seasons trade deadline and have contract outs in the 2024 season. You know.. Stuff like, the Jets got to go OL with the 10th pick? But wait, misplaced WR Davante Adams could reunite with A.Rod for that #10 pick? -or- Washington, DC's DT Jonathan Allen to the built to win now Packers . Cost? 2.41 plus 4.125 

Browns web-dork rumors really like calling the Denver Donkeys? 

#1. LT Jedrick Wills age 24 on paid 5th year option in 2024 paying 14.6M

#2. Browns trade pick 2.54 to Denver for WR Jerry Jeudy age 24 owed 13M in 2024. Browns were rumored close to a deal at trade deadline last season. Rumored Denver passed on 2nd & 5th round pick. (team unknown)

Believable maybe, is the Browns on the clock, with draft names available? -Anybody think Denver would take Jed Wills off our hands for WR Jerry Jeudy straight up? 

Other articles, seen options with age & out options in 2024..

#3. Denver---LT Garett Boles age 32 due 18-20M has a out in 2024. WR Cortland Sutton age 28 due 17M has a out in 2024. S Justin Simmons age 30 has a 2024 out option due 18.2M ?  tied to that kind of money option? They'd be lucky to get a 6th or 7th rounder, if a no trade clause isn't in their contracts .

Dallas Cowboys-- How many times can WR Brandin Cooks be rumored to team up with D.Watson again? Cook's is now age 30, with 10M owed, if plays 2024 season in Dallas? MAR 19 2023 Traded to Dallas (DAL) from Houston (HOU) for 2024 6th round pick and 2023 5th round pick (#161 - traded)   Start trade talks in the 6th?

 just spit-bailing, some media readable draft trade player name options here? Any opinions? other trade names out there?

There's a line of free agent LBs possibly leaving the Browns this offseason, and I'd love to add a bigger, physical presence next to JOK in the draft...

That guy might very well be Junior Colson. I think he'd be a nice complement.

Whoa!  Be careful.  Woody's gonna be moaning and groaning in here like he's on a permanent overdose of ecstasy.

Isn't that Woody or is that one of the other little Keebler Elves cheerleading in Annie's Arbor?

I think Patrick Queen is available and a FA.. As much as I like AW... we need a younger body back there.. I also would like to see us get even faster on the perimeter if at all possible

Calvin Ridley could be the missing piece to the Browns' passing offense

hell yes, do it in a second

You bet!  Or, did he bet?  Hold on a second...

T'Vondre SweatDT Texas

I love the pick, but I think he's gone in the first ten picks of the 2nd round, if not the end of the first. The big man can play, plug up the middle, collapse the pocket... that would make for a stellar dl rotation. Goal line stands? he's rated 100% against the run. I'd move up in the second round if it would work out.

Have you told our audience you don't watch college football because you have better things to do with your time?  Judging by the response you got I'd say everyone is well aware of this.  I can't wait to start talking about our OL and what our plan is at RG when/if someone signs Wyatt Teller.  Once upon a time that kind of thing interested you. It still interests me; but what could I possibly know or understand about offensive line stuff...

4.21 Worthy is definitely before our 2nd rd pick now

True. Believe it or not Texas has another WR (Adonai Mitchell) that could be tempting in round 2 if still available (despite more pressing needs). He's 6'2" 205lbs and the stats below show us he scored 11 TDs while averaging 15.4 yards a catch in 2023. Aside from that he ran a 4.34 at the Combine.  That didn't look like a fun tandem to try to defend.

I think I'd gladly take the 6'2" 205lb WR who ran a 4.34!

Those type of Texas WR's make life easy for QB's. Texas QB Quinn Ewers completed 69% of his passes. Isn't Texas where QB Arch Manning went to play?

They sure do Gumbs!  To answer your question - Texas is where Arch Manning went to watch.  They're still working on the "to play" part.

Since he had been linked to us that's the first thing I thought when I saw his 40 time.   But ya know what?  He's 165 lbs.  We're playing tackle football here.  And a knock on him is that he takes plays off when the ball is not intended to go to him.  As noted in above posts, his team mate Mitchell is big and fast.  I like him better for tackle football.  Of course, he's got a couple of knocks too.  He's a cradle catcher who struggles catching with his hands.  That's a problem.  Coverages are tight in the NFL.  QB's many times have to throw it where you're going to have to reach for it.  They can't always aim at your gut.  Also, he doesn't want to put effort into run blocking.  That of course, would be corrected in Cleveland...if he doesn't want to be inactive of Sundays.

Did Mitchell run The Gauntlet at the draft?  Did anyone see him run it if he did?   I was unable to watch the Combine.
