    It looks like Vagina ended up with a mouth on the hook here Mud. That said, it was hard not to fully enjoy the priceless irony of Vag announcing how few should be reading Gipper with any degree of regularity as Vag gets busted for doing so. That's like Bart Simpson or Eddie Haskell giving advice on good behavior... Even better, we got that entertainment for free...

    Pittsburgh fans hate it when we don't see the same Walt Disney stories they're buying about Ben Rapen, Domestic Violence Poster Boy - James Harrison and others. But don't you dare tell them "False Glory: Steelers and Steroids" is non-fiction or they're gonna turn the conversation into a Jerry Springer episode. Understanding all that, where is there any chance for intelligent conversation with that fan-base? You're gonna have better luck with a pet rock or gold fish.

    There's a lot more than 5 people that appreciate what Gipper continues to offer this place. Nobody is putting a gun to the temple of those that don't...

  • Would you package the #19 pick and a second rounder for Shelton. Dude would would anchor the defense for a decade.

    Mean while back at the thread...

    As someone else pointed out... Hell ya! Since the trade might well have to be as high as with ATL at #8 to bag Shelton, that would be fair value or slightly favoring us per the old chart.

    But here's the kicker... we'd still have our #12 to trade down and it'd easily net us a replacement #2.

  • wait a sec, if all you were trading was the 19 and a 2nd rounder....for Shelton? Fuck yeah you jump all over that mark you just got the fuck over on somebody real hard. Of course we're not gonna be able to land Shelton without giving up the 12th pick, be serious. But yeah if we could keep the 12th and move up for our 19th and a 2nd rounder you'd possibly be looking at Shelton and one of the great fucking pass rushers coming out this year.

    Glad you said that Tour......meant to reply to CF4L after I read his post yesterday....

    Gotta say I didn't think of this scenario.....always had #12 as the price to pay....BUT, Id give 19 and our second, assuming I still had 12.....yep...Id do that....

    But then....looking at moving up into the top 5 or 6......I might get eyes for a Leonard or Beasley.....

  • no way man. you're talking about trading the 12, 19 and the second rounder to move up to the 5th pick ala a trade up for mariota etc.?

    scenario #1: danny shelton (picks 12, 19 and 43)

    scenario #2: a DT, OLB and WR

    hmmmmmm????????

    now if you're talking moving up to 5 getting that pick ANF having the #12 as well then that's different. you just better not whiff on those first 2 picks.

    yes.....trading 19 & our second for a top 5 kind of pick.......so, for instance, we get #4 from Oakland and still have #12......

    heyyyyyyyyyyyyy....wait a cotton pickin second......oakland needs a WR and LOTS of picks....we could sweeten it with some JG rights.....(just their kinda player)

    if any team were to do that deal it would be the raiders for sure....

    the question is now though, if you could get up to 5 who do you take? what i've read from pettine is that the NT isn't 'his' #1 priority for the draft:

    Not that long ago, the Browns were considered one of the front-runners for the services of Washington nose tackle Danny Shelton. The Browns had moved on from Ahtyba Rubin, who had held down their nose tackle position last season, so it seemed only logical to add a young and large player like Shelton to join Ishmaa'ily Kitchen in replacing Rubin and improving the position.

    However, that seems less likely to happen now, particularly in Round 1. Browns head coach Mike Pettine, speaking at the NFL owners meetings in Arizona, said that Phil Taylor will be the team's primary nose tacklethis season, backed up or spelled by Kitchen in the rotation. Last year, Taylor played out of position at defensive end before being placed on injured reserve in November with a knee injury.

    This year, it looks like Taylor will be back to taking on double-teams in the middle of the defensive line. With him and backup Kitchen, the Browns no longer have an immediate and glaring need at nose tackle. Though they may draft defensive line depth, no longer does Shelton—or any of the top defensive tackle prospects—seem in the cards for the Browns in Round 1.

    yep, it's from bleacher report so we all know it's just fluff, but it does bring up the question.

  • Thats the million dollar question......if it's #4, they're probably after Leonard......

    but, assuming both QB's are gone it'll leave you 3 outta 4 of Shelton -Beasley - Leonard or Fowler....choose your poison....

  • i myself would take shelton all day long considering you have to question whether taylor can last a whole season.

  • yeah...I waffle on it.....very happy Im not the one who has to choose....

    Part of me says get the dynamic LB first, cause he wont be there at 12,,,,,while theres a good chance that Shelton, Ray or Brown would still be there....letting you get 2 defensive starters, instead of one....

    tough tough choice....brrrr

    Ray? Shane Ray? I keep telling people not to be shocked if he's the first pass rusher off the board. I'm honestly not all that impressed with Gregory or Fowler. Atlanta plays a ton of 4down so it's a natural fit for them.

    All you old timers really get a kick out of yourselves. As far as Shelton is concerned doesn't he project at DT? You have Phil Taylor unless the team would put Shelton at end where I think he's out of position. Taylor sure as hell can't play de

    Two firsts in dt's? If they were interested in Shelton i would think Taylor would have been moved and not Rubin.

    Actually Phil fills quite well when he's the SDE.

    Rubin is gone, Taylor is coming off injury and might not be back next year. Gives the Browns the ability to make sure Shelton's conditioning is top notch and gradually bring him along in the defense.

    Is that not plausible?

    I know Rubin is gone. Phil is huge for a de. I don't see them drafting Shelton.

  • It's more than likely a moot point as Shelton probably won't last that long, but if he's on the board at 12 I don't see them making any other pick.

    @miktoxic said:

    Phil's good every other year so I expect to see a lot of him in 2015. My issue is Kitchen. He's not a #2 NT IMO. With Shelton and Taylor in a 1-2 rotation there's position dominance on the field the entire game.

    @vagitron said:

    NT... best NT prospect in the draft.

  • I just don't see Shelton making it to 12. I wish he would though.

  • with all these crazy mocks i'm seeing (shelton falling to us, kevin white falling to us etc. etc.) who knows what's going to happen.

    all i know if i was a defensive minded head coach and we needed the center of our D line upgraded, shelton would be the guy.

    i'm hopin farmer pulls his best sonny weaver on draft night.

  • Just something to consider for all those who feel defense, especially Dline isn't something of a priority. I wasn't aware of just how bad it was until I saw some PFF stats backing up what my eyes saw. - NO, it wasn't our linebackers.

    "
    The Browns defensive line that combined to earn a -48.6 overall grade last season which featured only one defender with a positive overall grade"
