Draft so you can win more games

Everyone was buying drinks and I received some. Top shelf stuff.  
 

I was with a Texans friend and told him to drop it big on Cincy for his first start

And somehow Manziel was the second-worst first round pick the Browns made in 2014.

My fear is that he's the highest rated LT left on the board at #24 and we didn't take one at #6.

I wouldn’t be happy with him at 24.

I’ll be irate if they go full-Browns and take him at 6. 
 

You never go full-Browns.

I know that Berry is not good at drafting OLinemen, but he can't be that bad...can he?

Do you really want that question answered?

Let's start with a positive - I applaud what he's doing for the OL in this FA period. 

That said, if he's still piss poor/lacking confidence in his ability to draft OL - he's gotta go.  Last year's OL assassinated this team's chance to win as it did the year before. Is he ever going to look at film and access the expertise of his OL Coach?  It shouldn't be this impossible. Again, Berry worked for Philly GM Howie Roseman before Jimmy took him back.

HOPEFULLY, this is all pre-draft Poker strategy so nobody perceives they need to move up in front of the Browns at #6. The last 2 former Bama OTs the Browns brought here were Jed Wills and Cam Robinson.  The Bengals also tried and drafted LT Jonah Williams at #11 overall from Bama; and that was a disaster for them.  Saban's program did better at developing Interior OL (G/C) -  I think Roseman found a couple of those between rounds 2 and 4 in the 3-4 years.  Like they said in the video and others are echoing in thread - he'll probably be an OG/next generation Nate Newton.  We already have a LT that showed up to training camp way overweight 2 of the 3 years he got parked on IR here...

I was at a Winking Lizard and told my friends I'd buy them all Jabrill Peppers jerseys if we drafted him. That changed to t shirts real quick...

Speaking of buying Jersie's, think of all the Shedufus fans who have to go out and buy another jersey.  LOL

Well, I can wear my Manziel jersey anywhere around College Station, because he's still a Heisman winner there. And I can wear my Garrett jersey anywhere because he's King of the World.? (I had to grit my teeth not to mention a pretender).

There's 2 guys in this video (Simpson & Proctor) that did a Whale of a job talking the Browns out of considering them in round 1 while Germie Bernard (in the 2nd half) looks like he could be a good 2nd round projection.

Big Bernard fan. Not the fastest, or the biggest, but the guy is just a professional WR. 

Here's something I heard this morning on Proctor, and I had forgot about this...

After Saban left, Proctor hit the transfer portal and went to Iowa for about two weeks, then left and returned to Alabama.

Word is he couldn't hack Iowa's OLine room - the coaches there were just too hard ass for him.

He's literally the worst attributes of Dawand Jones and Jedrick Wills.

I like Tate but with all the depth at WR if I’m the Browns and the draft is about playing Chess he’s not the pick.  

There are so many good WRs in this draft mainly 2s and 3s probably not #1 WR types but  39 is a prime spot to take one.  
 

Bernard reminds me of Jarvis Landry

Actually I heard someone describe Omar Cooper Jr as "Jarvis Landry with speed" too...

I like Cooper, Denzel Boston, Bernard and KC Concepcion at 24 (Cooper/Boston) and 39 (Bernard/Concepcion).

I feel like I'm back in my mom's chocolate store back in the day when I wanted anything that didn't have coconut in it.  Relating this to WRs, I'll be happy with many good WRs in this draft that land on any of our 1st 3 draft slots...

...nuff said.  Let's go with that.     

He would come to us and immediately draw the opposition's best CB.

Yes!  It is option 1c for me.  He’s plenty fast enough for me.  The guy is a route runner, contested catch savant, and a sideline toe tapping extraordinaire. When has one of these OSU guys failed?  

im still 1a trade down or 1b. downs
