  • In a video on ESPN, McShay talks about all 3 guys. What he said about Matthews is VERY impressive.

    Comments included:

    Pads always in ideal position

    Tackles on the rise with same leg/shoulder

    Extremely fast

    Good in coverage

    Instinctive player

    Learning edge rushing

    To me, Clay is a gem in the rough...and he isn't even that rough.

    Plus, he's SMART...I want to trade DA & our 1st for a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd & I want Matthews. As someone else posted, "it's in his DNA"....I think he'll be a great LB. I just hope he does it as a Brown.

  • You rock, John.

    I really disagree with McShay about possibly considering Maualuaga at 3-4 OLB. Yesterday, Phil Savage called him a "pure inside linebacker."

    Here's McShay talking about the USC linebackers:

  • I believe he's actually Clay Matthews III, named after Grandpa Clay, just for the record. 🙂

  • IMO -

    1. Curry

    2. Matthews/Sintim

    Would be a bad-ass 1st day in April.

    I've never been on the Rey-wagon. A freakish athlete that cashed in that chip to make the squad/start for USC. Eternally bailed out by the other 10 freakishly good players on those defenses. Makes a nice highlight video, or bone-jarring hit occasionally, but not a good single game video.

    Absolutely no football mind. In lacrosse, we tagged these guys as "big dummies" - good for one or two de-stick or de-cleating hits a game, but absurdly simple to beat with strategy & execution.

    Pass on Rey. Would take Cushing or Matthews (obviously), in a heartbeat.

  • Another SC guy we may be interested in is DT Fili Moala. He was a bit inconsistent this year, but he's got the potential to be an elite 3-4 DE.

    The Ravens were paying a lot of attention to Moala yesterday. If he's available at the top of Round 2, we may consider taking him.

    I like that scenario too. He was around the ball a lot or occupying 2 o-linemen in that Clay Matthews video. Even disengaged/shed a blocker to get after a screen.

    Sounds like USC has the top 3 LB's in this years draft.

    To Bad Laurinaitis wont be playing in the senior bowl.

  • I thought the Browns traded away this years #2 pick?

    We have 1st/2nd/4th/6th this year.

  • oh ok. Phil traded away the 3rd and 5th.

    What about Beanie in the first and Clay Matthews III in the second?

  • matthews is also a guy who'll do anything to make himself and the team better, and you can never have too many of those.

    he's rising really, really fast.

    yep. people are talking about him on Carolina Huddle even.

  • How in the world do you pass up C3 if he's there in the second round? I'm not sure you can.

    The 2nd round is a reasonable place to draft him and he'd be a PR homerun. The jerseys would fly off the shelves. There was no #57 on the roster this year (or at least currently listed on the Browns site).

    If he's there, get him.

    Fun fact : Grandpa Clay Matthews was drafted in the 25th round. in 1949 by the Rams, but ended up playing for the Niners.

  • the Browns could certainly use some positive PR and increased fan interest.

  • REY?

    He is obviously at his best coming downhill and can be a freight train in that capacity,.....................UMMMMM Isn't this exactly what we've been missing for 40 +years at middle linebacker????

  • Problem I see with Rey as the freight train you speak of is that he's often on the wrong tracks.

    Nice turn of phrase. Personally, I would've gone with this:

  • Crazy Train perhaps good for football, Alo. Runaway Train, other the other hand, bad.

  • well this guy could work......

  • Dudes, Angus...
