    Storm Johnson, RB, Central Florida

    saw this kid a couple of days ago on NFL network. he did some mock drills that they do at the combine and he did really good in studio on the spot (broad jump, vertical and something else i forget) but at the end of the segment they asked him some questions and one of them was what team would he like to play for and of course he said he'd be grateful to play with any of the 32 teams (PC agent-coached answer) but the guys pressed him and he finally said "the MFing cleveland browns, YO." (paraphrasing a little there).

    he's projected to go in the sixth and he lacks sprinter speed but someone to look at anyways because (i know this doesn't mean a lot #'s-wise) when has the last time you've heard a player pre-draft say he'd want to come to cleveland of all places?

    and where he is projected is just where a shanahan would find that diamond in the rough type guy.

    he had 3 tds and a 6.1 ypc avg. in the fiesta bowl, which was no defensive battle for sure, but the 2013 season did a lot for both bortles and this kid who transferred from miami (the U).

    watch the 58 yd td run vs. PENN STATE he's got mad balance and vision.

    I watched a few UCF games live. Johnson is no joke.

    Yes, Storm would be the guy over the two guys I mentioned. I believe

    that he may be gone in the late 2nd, or early in the third, before the Browns

    ever have a chance at him with their second pick in the third. It all depends on the combine. It's possible West is

    there in the fifth and sixth. Who knows? But Storm won't be. If he's fast at the combine,

    you watch teams clamber after him. There aren't that many big backs in the draft.

    right now he's projected as a sixth round pick.

    Yes, but if he shows greater speed at the combine, some team that only has

    one desperate need, like maybe the ratbirds?

    will jump at drafting him or West far earlier than projected, if he's the guy they want. My projections

    are just stupid guesses, ya know...lol

    After the combine workouts, including extensive interviews, it will be interesting to see how these projections

    are wrong, a lot, perhaps, like mock drafts are mostly all wrong.

    yep, it happens every year. and then all you need is kiper or mcshay to say something positive about the kid and all of a sudden they jump up 2 rounds.

    I've liked him for awhile. Let's get him especially if he wants to be on the browns.

    Hyde pulled up lame at the combine, looks like we should stay away from that.

    Dri Archer will be a kick returner and that is all at the NFL level. Too small.

  • The guy I like is RB Andre Williams from BC.

    He runs like a drunk dad playing tackle football in the back yard with his kids, just runs them over like an asshole.

    Love love love Williams. I think the best route to go at rb would be to grab Williams and Hyde. Fuck those tipity toe dance running backs we need 2 vicious bruisers to beat the piss out of opposing defenses.

    yep hyde pulled something on his first 40 attempt.

    dri archer posted the fastest 40 time below 4.3...almost beating out chris johnson's record.

    andre williams as they just noted did not catch one football coming out of the backfield last year. you gotta have a guy that can catch the ball.

    my guy storm johnson lookin good.

    debatable. Will research the backs more in the next few weeks. The few times I saw Mason, I didnt see a lot of lateral agility. When he has to cut to make a hole, he does a side hop instead of planting and accelerating through the hole. And then, when hes in the second level, he was seeking out contact, which wont be a good thing in the NFL for a guy his size. Also, he didnt catch the ball very much. I dont think we draft a guy before the third round, so he may be gone anyways.

    eisen and mayock were on his and sanky (sp?) jock all day.

    andre williams from BC really hurt himself by not being able to catch the ball.

    i might even wait until the 4th or 5th to pick a RB.
