  • Solid 3rd rounder. Drafting Mathieu would have been a bad fit for us given how small Skrine is. Adding another 5'8 guy would not be good.

    McFadden is average size for a corner and has good enough skills to be a solid #2 corner. He will start day 1 across Haden. Exactly what we needed. Hopefully, a decent FS or G are available early tomorrow for us.

    No, Mathieu would have been a shitty pick here. We have no one to keep him in line. Zona does

    agreed....if it was a later round in the draft maybe 6 or 7 then the risk vs. reward might be worth it......Still not sure about Mathieu's cover speed and height though, also non-existent twice against Bama in the biggest games...

    And lets not forget the level of competition brought in the off-season.

  • Here are some highlights for McFadden. Maybe it will make the whiners feel better. LOL.

  • Size doesn't matter if you don't know how to get into position and use it. From his highlight reel is seems that McFadden gets himself into a good position on a consistent basis. I love the pickup and hopefully if he works hard he can start opposite Haden.

  • Judging by this pick, our corners are going to be asked to be on an island all day. There were many better overall corners on the board, but McFadden is highly ranked as a man cover corner.

    Don't like this pick either, but I like it more than Mingo.

  • Badger is 5'9" an inch shorter than McFadden. NFL graded McFadden 80.7 .3 off of being 7th highest graded cb in draft. Badger graded 73, McFadden is compared to Brent Grimes who we looked at in FA was a pro bowler before injury. McFadden is described as a man to man corner.

    he is almost 5'9", we have mcfadden now and he will be our #2. wont be getting his jersey but I do like the pick.

  • Fits my play style Madden well.

    Honey Badger blows. Our small corners will be fine with our 14 pass rushers creating havoc.

    Minnifield was small and from a basketball school too.

    Lombardi is showing balls taking guys he likes regardless of where they are slotted.

  • i love that we got a cornerback. so who's bitching you dumb fucks? (i was getting worried if they were going to be any decent ones left by the time we got our 2nd pick).

    if would have been watching the espn coverage they showed the brown's pick of mcfadden and his highlight reel. 2 mins later they're showing the highlights of mathieu. there was no comparison. it was laughable how much better mathieu looked on that reel. besides he played in the best division in college football against NFL top tier talent.

    again i'm glad we got the cornerback (and whoever thinks i'm whining can go fuck themselves) but why do other teams always take a chance on a guy except the browns? who cares if petersen is there to look after him? i would have had any behavioral issues affecting the team in a negative way written into his contract and could be a reason for financial repercussions etc. this is just my opinion.

    i'm not saying mcfadden sucks. you know what i'm saying.

    hell as long as he makes this team better in a position which we desperately needed help at hey, i'm a fan.

    and arizona gets mathieu right after us.

    are we the dumbest team on the planet?

    Are you listening to this guy, Mathieu, talk? He graduated college? Are you kidding me. He sounds like a total bust.

    Your opinion & mine are the same. Thank God it wasn't the Browns drafting him.

    BTW, if I am wrong about Mathieu, I'll post as much.

    I'm certainly willing to cut the Browns some slack, but I was distrurbed by Mike Mayock's lack of enthusiasm for McFadden, who he thinks would be a good FIFTH ROUND pick. Mayock did like McFadden's quick feet! Mayock and company were very surprised the Browns didn't take Webb from William and Mary who they all graded much higher than McFadden.

  • hey i bleed brown and orange, no matter what.

    but there are plenty of players with probs off the field this year whom other teams had no problem signing. i'll say that ogletree picked by NE and belichick was a much riskier pick than mathieu.

    and if being articulate in the english language is a requisite for being a baller then mariano rivera should not be allowed in the bb HOF.

    hell, don't go to east cleveland because you won't be able to decipher a single fucking word you hear.

  • All the draft Guru's are paid to guess and grade people. . Wacthing the draft, the espn guru's said Mcfadden was a great get for us, and if he was a little taller her would have been late first early 2nd.

    Ogletree was drafted by the Rams.
