Draft Thoughts 2013
-
I'm wondering - if Milliner is there at 6, what are the chances of him still being there at 11 if we trade down? Is one of Bills, Cards, Jets and Titans going to take him? Big gamble, but if he's gone we could still pick up rhodes at 11, or if we don't value him that highly banks in the second round.

I don't think Milliner will get past the Jets at 9.. they're trading some dude named Revis. If the Jets take Lotulelei, the Titans at 10 have stated on record they're 100% taking Milliner if he drops. I would not trade back -- the difference in skill between Milliner and Rhodes is not small.
I hope this article will eliminate any consideration of Mathieu being drafted by the Browns.. the guy is a basket case.
The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." Paul Brown -
Miami has the extra picks this year in the second and third rounds to outbid the Chargers to trade up with the Browns.
Very cool.
I still like Darius Slay in the second, I doubt he'll make it to the third....
Only Savage would have drafted Mathieu for the Browns.
Will....never......happen.

Fair enough, I was thinking that the Jets would be in the market. Hadn't heard about the titans though.

These are the differences in combine and proday work outs. As you can see there are not a lot of differences. However I do like the extra height on Rhodes, plus 4 more inch vert. Rhodes from a trade down will be one heck of a pick up. Plus a SS either Eric Ried or D.J Swearinger in the 2nd.

last year thinking "please don't draft Weeden or another QB, let's give Colt some decent weapons and some time in an offense he now knows, with a full season behind him." Now I'll go to sleep thinking "please don't draft Smith or another QB, let's give Weeden some decent weapons and some time in an offense that suits him, with a full season behind him."

I have a hunch there may be a number of surprises before this draft is over. How many BPAs will be taken when talent level is so similar fairly deep once you get past the top 10 or so? This may turn into a "need based" draft throughout & some BPAs may drop somewhat. I guess we'll see this week.

Isn't it that way every year?

To a degree, but this year there doesn't seem to be any clear cut #1 at ANY position. The talent is that closely grouped. This year, even drafting for need is "iffy" because so much of the talent is equal. It's actually a great draft in which to trade down as you won't lose a lot by doing so, but who will trade down?

More to the point, who will be trading up? Teams looking for Lane Johnson perhaps, after Joeckel and Fisher are taken. Beyond that, unless someone really likes a player I can't see anyone moving up for the same reason everyone wants to move down. Not like last years where we had two clear cult top choices, then consensus top LT, RB, CB & WR to be taken in the next 4 picks. Hell, nobody can even agree on who the best player in the draft is this year.

mine as well last year and going to saying/praying for no QB pick as well this year.
millner. millner. need i say more?

I heard all year that Jarvis Jones was going to be the top player in this years draft. Then as the Draft approaches he begins to fall as questions about his injury issues and work ethic begin to take root. Now I see him falling to the Steelers, is this another Phil Taylor incident where the Steelers pump out a bunch of BS about a player to hope that he falls to them? I would be sick, absolutely sick if the Steelers get Jarvis Jones. For that reason alone I say we snag him.

Will the Browns take TE Tyler Eifert at #6? Todd McShay seems to think so in his latest mock draft.

Darius Slay has torn meniscus
Mississippi State cornerback Darius Slay, regarded as a potential first-round pick, tore the meniscus in his knee this offseason, raising medical questions with teams, league sources said.
Some doctors have told Slay he can play through the injury without undergoing surgery and other doctors believe surgery would be preferable, sources said.
Teams are aware of the injury and have wanted to see Slay's condition. Slay worked out Friday for the Atlanta Falcons and was said to look "great."
Slay was impressive at the scouting combine in February, sporting a time of 4.36 in the 40-yard dash. He also had 14 reps of the 225-pound bench press, registered a 35.5-inch vertical and claimed 124 inches in the broad jump.

It will almost surely drop him down a couple of rounds I would say.

This is a good article that shows how far the Browns have come over the past 3 drafts under Heckert. 81% are still on the roster, and 13 projected starters we drafted.
Before Heckert came in, in 11 years of drafting (1999 - 2009), we retained hardly anybody. Remember William Greene, Courtney Brown, Brady Quinn, Gerard Warren, etc... Not to mention our lack of hits in rounds 3-7.
Building through the draft is SO important, and hitting on your picks is essential. So, with a new regime (AGAIN) taking over let's hope they can keep this solid drafting alive and help build this team into a contender. This year, in particular, is key to maintain some type of continuity and begin to bring stability, depth, and sense of identity into this roster.

Jeez., if that's a highlight video then I see nothing that warrants #6 overall... not even close. He looks like the type of guy you take in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. BUT, I have seen other tape and his stat lines which make this guy seem worth a 2nd round pick. It is simply his measurables that have teams at the middle-to-bottom of the first drooling. #6 would be a ridiculous reach for this guy, as there is far better talent in the draft. If we could trade back, and use a 2nd rounder on him then fine, but McShay is out of his mind with this one...
