What to do at 33?

The Browns Board

  • As much as I hope they focus heavily on offense, there's exceptional value on the defensive side of the ball going into day two. WIll Johnson, Emmanwori, and even someone like Mike Green all could be day one impact players who are for sure first round talents that slipped. A combo of one of those guys + Henderson would be a great 1/2 this evening.

    With all that being said, the only way they don't go QB with 33 or 36 is if both Stefanski and the FO have been given a strong vote of confidence that it's okay for 2025 to be a wash year and jobs aren't on the line. It blows, but it makes logical sense. If Sanders is called tonight though, I won't cry into my beer. There's enough there to roll the dice now, IMO. I also think there's a little too much worry that taking him (or another QB) in the 2nd round automatically means next year isn't a QB. If they draft Sanders, we suck and he sucks, just take the top dude next year and get some value back. It's definitely the nature of the NFL now.

  • The RB class is deep enough that, even though I love Hendo, he's a no-go from me. You have talents at DB and OL that can be had early. Leave RB to late 3rd.

    Idk what came up in his medical, idk why he fell, but Will Johnson seems like a steal at 33. Dude was projected top 10 not long ago. Homer pick, I know, but it makes sense 

    Now that last season is over - he's great kid now!   Nothing is wrong with him - he's a great idea Woody.  The Browns have this new thinking of drafting Ohio State & Michigan guys like pairing Michael Hall Jr to team up with Mason Graham on the IDL. They recently drafted former Buckeye C Luke Wypler (IR last year) to eventually play next to Michigan OG Zak Zinter in the near future - who may some day also play next to Ohio State T Dawand Jones (if he can ever get his weight down).

    Last but not least, drafting Michigan CB Will Johnson to team up with former Buckeye CB Denzel Ward at the back end is a great idea.

    Something is definitely "wrong" with him right now. You don't got from top 10 to out of the first just by watching tape. Considering the injury he suffered last season, and then something to keep him out of the pro day / combine process, my guess is medical. I wonder if there's surgery needed or something that will keep him out for a bit. 

    Regardless, it seems like good value at this point for the risk

    Agreed. I feel like we've all seen enough the last decade to know you can get RB late. Unless there's truly a generational talent

  • Honestly, they could also trade back again. Teams have to be interested in snagging a QB here, and we'll let them leapfrog everyone. Plus we're still at 36

    I hear you, but Henderson to me really sticks out above the crowd. Assuming we can get Chubb back for one year deal, Henderson fits really closely to get some skills under his belt to potentially have our new Chubb for the next 5-6 years. This team needs offensive playmakers, and I think Henderson is the cream of the crop of guys remaining. I'll openly admit though I'm not in the weeds on this stuff anymore outside the top 50 or so dudes.

    I'd challenge this notion a little bit. I'll be the first to concede a good bit in what I'm about to say, but: all 6 of the top rushers this year by rush yards were picked 45th or earlier. Might be a coincidence, but I think there's evidence that taking a RB in the first two rounds pays off.

    for some reason I am thinking the raiders to swap picks with,  Do they have a 3rd we could get ?

    I might take Henderson in the 2nd if I knew it would spark a run on backs, but I don't think it would.

    If it was me, i would take a back in the 3rd and another in the 5th.  You will still find quality running backs in the 5th.

    I like Henderson but his durability concerns me..

    When I looked at the list of running backs, I picked Kaleb Johnson as the every down feature back - he was bigger and one place above Henderson.

    On this list, Henderson is #24, and Johnson is #8.

    The Browns, with two second round picks? I'm thinking...

    https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2025/4/24/24415786/nfl-draft-2025-best-available-players-for-day-two

    Woody's Will Johnson, CB from Michigan...

    and Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge rusher, Boston College.

    Maybe Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri.

    That Shedeur Sanders fell to the second round is crazy, given all the hype

    Maybe I'm reading too much into it but... There has to be something about him that didn't make him a clear cut/must have pick. Was it the combine.. Interview process... The Prime factor... Whatever the case... I can understand teams having needs and all... But for all the hoopla created over him... And just drop like a rock is strange..

  • maybe no one from his team showed up at sanders birthday party

  • We could use:  South Carolina S Nick Emmanwori,    Utah State WR Jalen Royals,   Iowa State WR Jayden Higgins (BIG target),   Missouri WR Luther Burden III,   LSU TE Mason Taylor.

    Perhaps, but not even as an OSU homer I just think Henderson stands out pretty highly above the crowd of who is still available. I'll be the first to admit, though, the days of me knowing about the 5th round or later 'steal' guys are way behind me. The only guy I know about that has buzz is Skattebo but that's just because of his awesome show during the CFB playoff game.

    I get it, you follow your team.  We all do that.

    I see ranking where Judkins is rated higher than Henderson. The reality is there are maybe 10-15  backs in this draft who project to having nice careers. When there are that many, I think it more important to address the positions where the picking are slim.

    I used to live in Tempe and have all ways kept a eye out on their team, Buckeye games usually come on around 10 a.m and the sun devils around 7 pm, So ya i have watched him play and if we can re build our Rb Room Judkins or Henderson and get Skattebo later,,fuck yes man

  • The RB Henderson is now favourite to be the 33rd pick with the sports books here in England

  • Trade down again, stockpile picks for next year
