Is your board setup to account for Browns needs and fits?

No... It's my BPA list.

What are you seeing in Xavier Su'a-Filo that I am not (not being chirpy, he just never jumped out) ?

bbedward nailed it... He may be the perfect zone scheme OG.

2. Jim Brown

3. Paul Warfield

4. Frank Gatski

5. Gene Hickerson

6. Lou Groza

7. Ozzie Newsome

8. Bobby Mitchell

9. Bill Willis

10. Len Ford

Respectfully, none of these players could play at a high level in the NFL today, with Jim Brown and Ozzie being the possible exceptions... We could continue the conversation on another thread if you want to ( a thread that does not involve a mock draft ).

*Edit most of these guys would not start on the Cleveland Browns Team this year.

Sure they wouln't. Half of them are dead and the others, are all in their 60's, 70s, 80s.

But every single damn one of them would have started if "today" was the prime of their career. Maybe Groza would have to move to RT instead of LT to let JT play....but ALL of them would have been starters....on any NFL team.

Xavier Su'a-Filo - OG

Eric Ebron - TE

Justin Gilbert - CB

While I'd take them all, my list is of who I see as the best players in the draft.

HaHa well played good sir... but not even in their prime would most of them make a team, let alone start. Throw up a size chart and the difference is staggering, include the complexities of the modern game, the rule changes ect... Very few players are "timeless" JB might be the only exception now that I am looking at it...Ozzie was only 6'2 - no way could he play TE in today's NFL

Then you, sir, don't know shit from shinola when it comes to football. These guys "weighed" something less than today's players perhaps (but not OG or JB).

If they were playing today they would be playing under today's conditions. They would have had the training and nutrition of today's athletes, and in having that they would have been on perfect par for today's game.

And FYI, a lot a TEs today play at 6'2"

Sooooo theyd have done HGH too?

2 players play less than 6'2 in the NFL as a tight end, both also weighing over 245lbs (about 15-20lbs heavier than Oz)

but that is not really the point... I will concede that if the players from back in the day had the salaries (to you know play football as their only job) training, nutrition ect they would be better football players, but you can not tell me that Gene Hickerson at 6'3 243lbs would be able to compete with the Defensive players of today...the average NFL G btw is 6'5 310 lbs... you would also not be able to tell me that nutrition and training advancements would cover that gap...no way...

Also, if someone shined your shoes with shit Gip, it's because they wanted to...not because they couldn't tell the difference.

Do they still make Shinola?

Well, by your comment....no quality....or HOF caliber player who played any time prior to like 1980 could ever play in this league because they were just too small.

....this presumes that there were guys back then that were 6'5 300 lbs. that were being denied to opportunity to play football. There just weren't.

If those guys played today, they would probably be 6'5 300 lbs.

Also, if someone shined your shoes with shit Gip, it's because they wanted to...not because they couldn't tell the difference.

Anyone but you, perhaps.
