The earliest I ever felt like talking about the draft.

The Browns Board
33 12 2.8k
  • FIRST ROUND

    I left out Curry because I think he'll be gone before the Browns pick...

    LB, James

    Laurinaitis,Ohio State Laurinaitis won the Butkis Award in 2007 and could have been a top ten pick if he would have entered the 2008 NFL Draft.

    DT, B. J. Raji, Boston College Raji is a monster at 6' 1" 325 pounds and already has five sacks this year. A great nose guard prospect that creates havoc on the inside.

    RB, Chris (Beenie) Wells, Ohio State (JR) Wells (6' 1" 225 lbs/ 4.46 speed) has all the talent in the world and might go much higher than this.

    CB, Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State I was surprised Jenkins didn't enter the 2008 NFL Draft, where he would have been a top 20 selection. Jenkins is the top rated cornerback entering the 2008 season.

    OG, Duke Robinson, Oklahoma A mammoth (6' 4" 335 lbs) road grader who is light on his feet and can pull very well.

    (surely he would be a better RT than Shaffer. My neice has a horse that would be a better RT than Shaffer....

    SECOND ROUND (TRADE EDWARDS FOR AN EXTRA SECOND ROUND PICK) (okay, or a firstwhatever)

    WR, Brian Robiskie, Ohio State Robiskie should be one of the top senior receivers available for the 2009 NFL Draft. He is the son of former NFL player and current coach Terry Robiskie. He may go in the first round, though.

    ******* sentimental favorite, he needs to be a Cleveland Brown:

    OLB, Clay Mathews, USC A pass rushing terror that is having a great year. His father played 13 years in the NFL as a linebacker. Has the size (6' 4" 244 lbs) to play in a 3-4 defense.

    *******

    DE, Connor Barwin, (6' 4" 250 lbs) linebacker in the 3-4 defense.

    OT, Garrett Reynolds, North Carolina

    CB, Coye Francies, San Jose State Francies has nice size (6' 1" 186 lbs) and NFL scouts are just raving about this kids man to man cover skills.

    CB, Domonique Johnson, Jackson State Johnson has nice size (6' 2" 190 lbs) and blazing speed (4.39). NFL scouts are just raving about this kids man to man cover skills.

    Vance Walker, DT, Georgia Tech (3-4 end - 6'2 - 293 lbs.)

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

    *********

    THIRD ROUND (we don't have third round pick? Trade ANDERSON)

    OG, Louis Vasquez, Texas Tech prototype size at 6' 6" 335 pounds.

    C/OT, Max Unger, Oregon Unger has decent size, (6' 5" 308 lbs), is extremely athletic, but needs to get into the weight room, best position might be tackle.

    Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State

    Mark Parson, CB, Ohio

    Xavier Fulton, OT, Illinois

    Fenuki Tupou, OT, Oregon

    Keenan Lewis, CB, Oregon State

    Sam Young, OT, Notre Dame

    Vance Walker, DT, Georgia Tech (3-4 end)

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

    Since I went to college with Jack Lambert, I watched him like a hawk

    at games. I always wanted a taller, rangey, smart buttkickin lb.

    I would love to have the Browns get a 3rd rounder with Anderson,

    and get this kid.

    so, my Jack Lambert pick of this draft is:

    Matt Shaughnessy, DE, Wisconsin

    Height: 6-6 DE Rank: 8

    Weight: 251 Overall Rank: 82

    Year: Sr 40 Time: 4.66

    Matt Shaughnessy Scouting Report by BadgerNation

    Pros: Quick, tall, athletic defensive end prospect. Very disruptive on passing situations, always seems around the ball on running plays. Can play a 4-3 end in a cover-2 defense, or a 3-4 edge rusher. Team leader and positive influence.

    Cons: Slightly undersized, needs to bulk up. He will need to work on technique and upper-body strength to face elite NFL tackles.

    Overall: A great pass-rusher and solid hybrid DE/LB prospect. A hard worker and a team leader.

  • Laurinaitis should have entered the draft last year, I will be really surprised if he is even taken in Round-one this season. i pray that we don't go anywhere near him.

  • Brian Robiskie will more than likely drop down do to the fact we havn't thrown the ball that often since Pryor became QB. not to say he is a bad receiver, he isnt he is a good route runner and and knows the game. his father taught him well.

  • Laurinaitis - I think Stan is right. After this past year, he isn't an A.J. Hawk.

    if Jenkins is there, I'd have to take him, I think.

    In the second, I'd be looking at

    Robiskie, Mathews or Shaughnessy, Reynolds or Walker.

    Robiskie is a smart player, fast, and he really catches the ball. (see ya Braylon, don't let the door hit ya...)

    Now I wish we had 4 second round picks. dammit.

  • Laurinaitis should have entered the draft last year, I will be really surprised if he is even taken in Round-one this season. i pray that we don't go anywhere near him.

    hey cal i like your thinking let'S DRAFT A LEFT TACKLE IN ALL SEVEN ROUNDS THAT WOULD MAKE IT ALL WONDERFUL................YOU BEING A GENIUS ON FOOTBALL SHOULD AGREE LEFT TACKLES ARE THE KEY TO WINNING

  • Rich - Malcolm Jenkins is a cb. He plays for Ohio State. That's a state university that is in Columbus, Ohio.

    A cornerback is not a left tackle.

    Ohio is the state east of Indiana, west of New York and PA, well, and WV.

    Ohio is the state north of Kentucky and WV, and south of Lake Erie, except for part

    in the northwest corner, that's south of Michigan.

    A right tackle is not a left tackle. A right tackle plays on the opposite end.

    Don't keep being confused on that, despite the fact that the left tackle also

    plays on the opposite end from the right tackle.

    And a tackle is not fishing gear. It's a position on the offensive line in football.

    Unless you're fishing.

    I hope I helped you get grip on things, Rich. @@

    Seriously how can 5 of your top 7 be either Ohio State players or Clay Mathews' son?

    BTW Clay Mathews has another son who plays for the oregon quacks.

  • having a gun is no big deal. it's never adversely affected anyone's NFL career. just let the kid play.

  • We dont even know what the new regime (if theres gonna be a new regime)will want the team to look like so its hard to call until lerner moves his soccer loving ass and gets something done..

    As for the current regime if they stay they just keep the team basicly the same and trade our drafts for more worthless leftovers...and hope against all odds they can get another rogers..

  • Okay, Lum. I'll answer your question.

    You see, the names mentioned are not in order, but they are listed in groups per draft round.

    Inadvertently, Clay Mathews just happened to be second on the list.

    Clay Mathews is listed on http://www.nfldraftdog.com/2009_NFL_Draft/...0_prospects.htm

    as being the #55 of the top one hundred players.

    That doesn't mean he's a lock for the 2nd round, but some mocks have him there.

    Besides, I SAID he was the sentimental favorite.

    And, the Ohio State players are bigtime mentioned in the top 10/15 picks in the first round in a ton of mocks.

    Thanks for the info, Lum.

    Any thoughts on Keenan Lewis? If we go CB in Round 2, he could possibly be one of our targets.

    I'm particularly interested in how well he's been tackling this year. Has he been playing well in run support?

    cmac & the ghost of ONB, feel free to respond as well.

  • Didn't read the thread, much, BigBrownsFan, right?

    Here: Laurinaitis - "I think Stan is right. After this past year, he isn't an A.J. Hawk."

    That's what I said to Stan.

    Stan originally said Laurinaitis should have come out last year, and that he'd be surprised if he went in the first round...

    , T agreed. Nobody said they wanted Laurinaitis.

    There are no colored blinders.

    He is listed high, surprising very, very high.

    He's a lb. But I didn't list Curry because he is said in some circles to be

    souring toward the top of the list.

    Laurinitis is a good player. But not high in the first round I don't think.

    That's why I said I'd take Malcolm. Malcolm isn't Laurinitis.

    geez. BTW, I have read that Maualuga is a terrific talent, but

    not very vocal. Not a leader. I prefer a vocal leader.

  • Offhand, he sounds like a super lb, who would yank off his helmet at the end of a game and let the other team have time to

    win with a field goal.... and he's only 6'2". I like a taller middle lb.

    He's also tight-hipped...

    Rey Maualuga, 2009 NFL Draft Prospect

    Middle Linebacker

    6”2’ / 260 lbs.

    Senior

    Strengths: Hard hitter, sheds blocks well, good instincts

    Weakness: not vocal, tight hipped, temperamental

    By: John L. Clarke

    As you can see from the accolades below (and the numerous videos on YouTube) Rey Maualuga is a terror at the middle linebacker spot. He reminds me of another MLB named Ray (although obviously spelled differently), as in Ray Lewis. Although Lewis was much more of a vocal leader and all around a better athlete, Maualuga has that rare ability to dissect plays within seconds and deliver jarring hits.

    Maualuga would probably have been the 1st MLB/ILB taken in the 2008 NFL Draft, most likely supplanting Jerod Mayo, whom was selected with the 10th pick. Although Mayo is more of an athlete and a more vocal leader, he does not have Maualuga instincts…something that you cannot teach. Durability is also something that separate Maualuga from other hard hitting linebackers. Deciding to stay for his senior year will more than likely improve his draft stock, similar to ex-teammate Keith Rivers. Although he is a machine, learning how to deal with the media (more important than you think) and improve his overall athleticism (i.e. more interceptions) is something that is better practiced in college than in the pros.

    He reminds me of another Trojan linebacker, whom also wore #58, Lofa Tatupu in a lot of ways. Both are hard hitting, instinctive middle linebackers that offenses game plan around and running backs run away from. Can Maualuga become another former Trojan that makes an impact? I think so.

    He had small off the field incidents that I do not think will affect him in the long run. He also seemed to take steps every season and is becoming more mature as he grows into a dominating presence in the middle. If he can control his emotions, without losing his ferocity and get better in man to man coverage, he is going to making many trips to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii…a place he

    I agree. The Bucknuts are WAY overrated.

    Mark Parson from Ohio would be a great choice for the Browns. I go to Ohio and have been able to see him play. He's the real deal IMO. He would be a solid 3rd round+ pick.

    I also think Maualuga would be the spark we need on D.

  • Cal, BigBrownsFan was confused because you copy & pasted from nfldraftdog without making clear where the info was coming from.

    And you should really stop quoting this stuff. Not to be a dick, but I don't get where this guy's coming from.

    Comparing Rey Rey to Lofa Tatupu? Rey's 6'2", 260; Lofa's under 6' and maybe 240 soaking wet. Also, Rey's an incredible athlete with possible coachability issues, while Lofa gets the most of out of his marginal athleticism (4.83 40) through film study and instincts.

    And "whom was selected with the 10th pick" doesn't sound right to me. I'll send it up to Dennis for booth review.

    I'm particularly interested in how well he's been tackling this year. Has he been playing well in run support?

    cmac & the ghost of ONB, feel free to respond as well.

    Both of Oregon State's corners are seniors and both are 4 year starters. I didn't realize one was a prospect and one wasn't. Both are pretty good but Lewis has stayed healthier. I don't recall many tackles of RBs.

    Here is an article about them from the school newspaper.
