    Regarding the draft all I keep reading is that it could be the worst for many years and that there is very little first round talent?! 

    I like the first round. Seems solid for both lines especially.

    Not great for QBs, not sure about the overall depth of the draft, which is why it might be considered weak.

    Pro Football Focus has it weak for QBs, linebackers and interior OLinemen. Strong for tight ends, cornerbacks, OTackles, DTackles. Good for remaining units.

    Looking at Washington's team this year, it's amazing what you can do with starting a draft at #2 overall especially when the Bears are the team drafting 1st.  Daniels was amazing yesterday.  I'm not sure there is a QB in this draft anywhere near the talent Daniels is; but a decent GM could make this a great draft. 

    Per the part about what the draft is strong at - we need OTs (LT is a must), DTs, Cornerback, Safety and how about Jack Sawyer lining up on the opposite edge of Myles (33rd overall maybe)?  RB and a QB somewhere in a mid round (especially if the QB position is weak).

    Jack Sawyer

    may have to move up to the back end of the 1st round to get him, Especially after he has a monster game tommorow

    I can tell you this - I don't think there's a Jayden Daniels equivalent at #2. You know who else had a REAL good game for Washington last night? Their 2nd round pick CB Mike Sainristil from TTUN.  Absolutely no overthinking.  

    Hunter will be very tempting for the Browns. We NEED a corner and as much as I like our young WRs - this guy is on a different level to refrain from putting him in the mix .  It IS fun to dream.  

    Right now our secondary is awful except for Ward and Mitchell.  Newsome and Emerson are bullseyes for our opponents while we have the worst set of Safeties in the AFC North. 

    I'm glad to see OT is one of the stronger positions in this draft.  

    There's a very good chance the Browns could be trading back.

    well they put themselves into a position where they pretty much have to

  • If there is a QB they believe is a franchise QB you take him.  But don't drop back farther that about 5-6, take Abdul Carter.

    I could see a trade back and then a trade up.  I like Carter a lot too.  There is nothing in my opinion equal to him let’s say at 12. There could be a steep overpay better than the 49ers Dolphins trade in 2021 for someone to get to 2 and much smaller ask for us to go from 12 to 6.

    If there is one player think ranks right up there with Warren....it's Abdul Carter. IT's been reported that there is legit question - will Owusu-Koramoah be able to return to football at all? Given that....I would pick Carter and have an All-pro lb for years.

         Terrible injury for Koramoah - but will not be disabled - he's fortunate. I don't see him returning.

    'Actually, It could come down to this:

    FIRST ROUND #2 = ABDUL CARTER

    TRADE BACK UP INTO LATE FIRST ROUND -

    ............JACK SAWYER, Ohio State, DE.

    that would be cool.

    So you want us to draft two Defensive Ends with first round picks?

    I guess you can't have enough pass rushers, but with Myles Garrett on the team already it seems like we should possibly go in another direction with the #33 pick.

    And it's Jack Sawyer ?

    I agree, IF they think Ward or Sanders is a franchise QB. What I don't want them to do is force the issue and reach for one because they feel like they have to.

    Love Carter, he's my favorite for the Browns. I don't think he gets past #4 though, tops.

    Here's the thing, when you don't have a QB because your incredibly big QB trade flopped, and you have a team that was built to win now, how do you walk up to Jimmy Haslem and tell him, We're not picking one of the two best QB's in the draft?  I mean, Jimmuh's first question is gonna be, OK, so what's your plan.  And ya better have one because the team ain't worth $#!+ without a QB.  

    We'll have a better idea regarding 'The Plan' when the new league year starts and Free Agency opens up.

    I know he's a DE, but he could play lb. Sawyer is the DE.

    Abdul Carter 2025 NFL Draft: Scouting Report For Penn State Nittany Lions LB

    Abdul Carter Draft Projection: What to Know About Penn State DE in 2025 NFL Draft Including 40-Time and Best Fits

    "

    Abdul Carter 40-Time and Draft Metrics

    Carter’s athleticism is one of the cornerstones of his draft profile. His speed and explosiveness are rare for his position. Let’s take a quick look at how we think Carter will perform in the NFL Combine:

    • Projected 40-Yard Dash Time: 4.48 seconds, an elite time for a defensive end.
    • Projected Shuttle Run: 4.35 seconds, highlighting his quick lateral movement.
    • Projected Broad Jump: 3.23 meters (10 feet 7 inches), demonstrating his lower-body explosiveness.

    These projected numbers would not only confirm his athletic potential but also underscore his ability to translate his physical gifts into on-field production."

    ************************************************************

    on the other hand, looking into his background, I change my mind. lol

    red flags on character - I hate that. So, I would trade down a bit, and draft Warren.

    Trade back up into the first round and draft Sawyer.

    and still keep a 2nd round pick and draft

    . Alabama image Jihaad Campbell, OLB/ILB, Alabama
    Height: 6-3. Weight: 244.
    Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
    Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

    1/11/25: Campbell had a big-time presence for the Crimson Tide in their road blowout of LSU. He had 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble and was an active defender in both phases. Campbell showed versatility by dropping into coverage as well as rushing the passer. Campbell is a big linebacker with speed and athleticism to go with his size. In 2024, he had 108 tackles with five sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception, and two passes broken up. Campbell looks like an early-round talent for the 2025 or 2026 NFL Draft.

    2. Alabama image Deonte Lawson, OLB/ILB, Alabama
    Height: 6-2. Weight: 239.
    Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
    Projected Round (2025): 2-3.

    1/11/25: Lawson has been a tough defender for the Crimson Tide in 2024, making a lot of plays in the ground game and contributing some plays in pass defense. He had 76 tackles with two sacks, one forced fumble, an interception, and four passes defended. In 2023, he had 67 tackles with three sacks and four passes defended after recording 51 tackles and four passes broken up.

    If I’m not sold on the QB available at #2, I pass on him rather easily.

    But can Andrew Berry do that?  Knowing that his job is dangling by a thread?  That would be hard for anyone in his position to do.  Again, FA will be an indicator.

    I'm saying, again, that I'm not sold on Ward at #2, and I'm not blown away with Sanders enough to make me want to deal with the circus that would surround him.

    I'd like a starting QB that is not a clown show. I've had my fill with Billy Manziel, Baker and Deshaun.
