Official Browns Board Mock Draft

The Browns Board
124 32 5.7k
  • Blitzz is on the clock ...Broncos

  • What about the texans?

  • Houston Texans

    The Texans do have many holes, which is why they have been destroyed in the second round of the playoffs the past couple of years.

    One of those key holes is LB.. Brian Cushing was knocked out with a torn ACL, Barwin left in free agency, and the other ILB spot next to Cushing was never any good. Whitney Mercilus is a league-average player.

    The other key need is WR.. Other than Andre Johnson, the Texans have had the Bill Simmons puu-puu platter of WR's since they came in the league. Also, it's not exactly a secret that the Texans offense broke down last year when Johnson was doubled because nobody else on the roster had the quickness to get open.

    The Texans end that strategy by selecting Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee. After running the 40 in 4.44 seconds at the combine, scouts believe he's fully recovered from his ACL injury. He has the size and hands to work in the short to intermediate part of the field and the speed to get vertical.. more so than DeAndre Hopkins, the other option at this slot.

  • With the 28th pick, the Denver Broncos select

    Damontre Moore DE Texas AM

  • With the 29th pick, the Patriots select WR Robert Woods of USC

    Mike

  • OK, sorry about mixing up the order above. Glad you all were on top of it.

    On the clock: Represent for the Falcons

    Interesting. A lot of evaluators put him as an end of the second round type talent. We'll see how it goes in the real draft.

  • All the players I want are still on the board I might get my 1 and 2 picks regardless of where I am picking love it!

    Are they still? You are up to bat.

    Gipper.. check those evaluations of Hunter after the combine. The second-round grade is only the case if you look at his performance during the beginning of the 2012 season. Hunter began to display the requisite explosiveness during the second half of the season - right around the 1yr+ mark after his ACL surgery. It's Hunter's rare combo of size [6'4, 200] and speed and agility and hands that puts him in the first round.

    Makes you wonder what exactly was going on with UT the past couple years that they had Bray / Patterson / Hunter and did nothing.

    Note that Woods/USC was a deep threat receiver before his ankle injury.. but both his combine and pro day workouts suggest that Woods' deep threat skills haven't returned. Hunter, however, did everything James Andrews told him to do.. and has made it back.

  • With the 30th pick in the NFL draft the Atlanta Falcons Select......

    Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame.

    "And the crowd goes wild!!!"

  • Damn, that was my pick- ugh. You're killing me Smalls. I think CB and OT were more of a need for the Falcons but I guess it's your call.

    With the 31st pick of the Draft the San Francisco 49ers select... Matt Elam, Safety, Florida.

  • Wow, the run on WRs is kind of ridiculous...

  • with the 32nd pick the Ravens select Manti Te'o

  • with the 32nd pick the Ravens select Manti Te'o

    I could see the Ravens feeling the need for another "mascot" LB to fill the shoes of RayRay.

  • MLD, I think you forgot about Ogletree. He's much, much better than Te'o.

    Also, here's the video of John Harbaugh watching Te'o run the 40 at the combine last month:
