How does an Orchard treat QBs?
-
We're arguing about a guy who will never start at LB, unless it's because of injury.

Orchard or Pullard? cause I see Orchard getting some serious reps this season depending on the matchup. Some teams we'll have to have Mingo in there if there's some really good TE's or catching RB's. Orchard will probably see a lot of reps against teams we can't put two hybrids in on but don't quite have the threats that require Mingo's services every down.

Again ,you are making completely inane, unwarranted, unsubstantiated assumptions.
If he is in fact one of the top 70 players in this draft.....as a few pundits have said...CBS, SBNation why would you not expect him to have a chance to start?
He has about as good a chance to become a starter as anyone the Browns have taken.
-
yer right.....and I completely missed that....none the less, Pullard wasn't rated as a second rounder on any credible boards, is all Im really trying to say.....
Why would SB Nation be any less "credible" than any other service out there?
So far we have had a sampling of two opinions.......SB Nation and CBS.
But I believe I also posted another "credible opinion" that did have him up there as well. (I will have to find it again.)
I know that one said the Browns took 8 of the top 100 prospect where SB Nation said 7.
Edit: OK, here it is, I requote from my other thread:
CBS thinks the Browns did even better:
For a team with a lot of needs, the Browns added a lot of pieces to their roster with 12 draft picks over the last three days. After temptation to possibly package picks for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, Cleveland hoarded picks and ended up with 12 selections, including two “safe” players in the first round with nose tackle Danny Shelton and offensive lineman Cameron Erving. The Browns were very active with Pac-12 players (58-percent of their draft class) with Shelton, Utah pass rusher Nate Orchard, Washington State defensive tackle Xavier Cooper, Washington State wide receiver Vince Mayle, USC tight end Randall Telfer, USC linebacker Hayes Pullard and Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. That final pick is tremendous value for a first round player who is coming off a knee injury and likely needs a redshirt season as a NFL rookie. The Browns wound up with eight players who were on my final top-100 draft board.
Who said that? CBS Sports. So, apparently, they don't even agree with themselves.

If it makes you happy to believe that Gip, then so be it....
SBNation is a "blog" site....look it up, your good at that......just a place for people to submit their pieces.....so, yeah, Id consider a blogger just another [ersons opinion and not a "credible site"....
And the second CBS article you quote doesnt have Pullard as a top 100. They list him as one of many Pac-12 players....
Chris has already said twice that "CBS" had him at #288, so how could they also have him in the Top 100?.....I dont know who wrote your second article, but it wasn't "CBS Sports".......
Im a drop it. You can believe whatever you read and it's no consequence to me,,I guess......But if you're gonna insist he's a second round talent, just because 2 bloggers said so(and when 100's said otherwise), then remind me to no longer trust your information or sources....

NFL.com has him ranked as the 23rd best linebacker and the 10th best interior linebacker, and a 7th round pick.
You seem to have read one blogger's opinion and then run with it as fact. As Mud said earlier, SBNation is just a collection of bloggers - the same as Bleacher Report...and everybody here gave Mike H. shit for writing for Bleacher Report.
The quote you posted above, about the 8 players in the top-100 is from Dane Brugler...a respected CBS columnist. Unfortunately, Pullard was not one of those players in the top 100. That list has:
Danny Shelton
Cameron Erving
Duke Johnson
Vince Mayle
Nate Orchard
Charles Gaines
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
Xavier Cooper
The list is here: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25139156/nfl-draft-draft-board-30-expands-to-top-100
So...once again...Hayes Pullard is not a second round pick. He's not in anyone's top 100. The list that you've been basing your entire argument off of does not mention Pullard. Pullard is special teams fodder.
Can we put this to rest finally?

TWO motherfuckers that put this shit out say he is. Why don't you call them....and disagree with them.
You and me neither have NO FUCKING idea who the top 70 players in this draft are.......Tom Brady was only the 199th best player the year he was taken.
CBS Sports has him ranked 288th overall - 14th best interior linebacker, and a 7th round pick or UDFA.
One CBS Sports writer has him there....another has him #69. You merely choose to choose the one you agree with.

You provided a list. If that is the case then why when he said the Browns had 8 of his Top 100 did he give 8 names in the article....one of them being Hayes Pullard. All this does is detract from this guys credibility. He says one thing one time and then contradicts himself later.
Can we put this to rest finally?
Sure. But I am still right when I said: Two sources had Hayes Pullard ranked in the Top 100 players in this draft.
And that is a fucking fact. You can deal with it....or STFU about it however you choose.

Hayes Pullard at some point in the not too distant future will be a starting Inside LB for the Cleveland Browns. He will outperform many of those drafted before him at his position.

And NFL.com and ESPN are just "bloggers". That is EXACTLY what Kiper and McShay were before they were hired by ESPN.
The quote you posted above, about the 8 players in the top-100 is from Dane Brugler...a respected CBS columnist. Unfortunately, Pullard was not one of those players in the top 100. That list has:
Danny Shelton
Cameron Erving
Duke Johnson
Vince Mayle
Nate Orchard
Charles Gaines
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu
Xavier Cooper
The list is here: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25139156/nfl-draft-draft-board-30-expands-to-top-100
So...once again...Hayes Pullard is not a second round pick. He's not in anyone's top 100. The list that you've been basing your entire argument off of does not mention Pullard. Pullard is special teams fodder.
You provided a list. If that is the case then why when he said the Browns had 8 of his Top 100 did he give 8 names in the article....one of them being Hayes Pullard. All this does is detract from this guys credibility. He says one thing one time and then contradicts himself later.
Can we put this to rest finally?
Sure. But I am still right when I said: Two sources had Hayes Pullard ranked in the Top 100 players in this draft.
And that is a fucking fact. You can deal with it....or STFU about it however you choose.
TWO motherfuckers that put this shit out say he is. Why don't you call them....and disagree with them.
You and me neither have NO FUCKING idea who the top 70 players in this draft are.......Tom Brady was only the 199th best player the year he was taken.
I still haven't seen any "motherfucker" say he was a top 100 pick. You haven't provided that at all...the above quote clearly does not state that and I'm starting to think you made the other one up.
One CBS Sports writer has him there....another has him #69. You merely choose to choose the one you agree with.
Which CBS writer is that? I haven't seen that anywhere. I'd love to see where.
And SBNation had him ranked #69....so what we have is dueling dickheads.
I have him ranked at 424th. And I have just as much credibility as anyone who writes for SBNation, since it's a website where random joe's submit their own blogs.
And NFL.com and ESPN are just "bloggers". That is EXACTLY what Kiper and McShay were before they were hired by ESPN.
Sure, that's what Mel Kiper was....30 years ago. That's like saying the 19 year old kid on the city council in Myrtle Beach is akin to the president, because they are both in government. That's like saying your middle school nephew is the same as Tom Brady, because he plays QB for his Pop Warner team. We're arguing about the opinions of other people, sure...but I'm going to go ahead and side with the person who is infinitely more qualified, who's been doing this at a professional level for 30 years and has all of the scouting tools available to him. You can hitch your wagon to Joe Nobody all you want, that's your prerogative. Just don't get offended when literally everyone else disagrees with you.

No, it doesn't. Brugler listed the Pac-12 players by name (and since USC is in the Pac-12, Pullard would be a part of that). He then went on to say there were also 8 players in the Top 100 that the Browns drafted. The two statements weren't connected. It doesn't detract from his credibility in the least. It just puts your comprehension into question.
I highly doubt you're actually that dense...and you're just arguing minute points because you don't want to be wrong.
Sure. But I am still right when I said: Two sources had Hayes Pullard ranked in the Top 100 players in this draft.
And that is a fucking fact. You can deal with it....or STFU about it however you choose.
Where? You've still yet to show us where anyone has said that. So I'll just go ahead and look for you. Here's what I've found.
Where Pullard should be drafted:
Mike Mayock of NFL.com listed Pullard as a 4th round prospect.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com listed Pullard as a 5th round prospect.
Chad Reuter of NFL.com listed Pullard as a 5th round prospect.
Charlie Campbell of Walter Football listed Pullard as a 4th round prospect.
The DraftTek computer algorithm listed Pullard as a 4th round prospect.
People who don't have him in the top 100 (or more):
- DraftTek has him as the 154th best player.
- Newsday does not have him in their top 100.
- Mike Mayock does not have him in his top 100.
- CBS Sports, the site as a whole, has him at 288th. (This isn't a personal writer's opinion, this isn't attributed to any specific person, this is the rankings from NFL Draft Scout...the service that CBS Sports owns and uses.)
- Josh Norris of NBC Sports/Rotoworld does not have Pullard in his Top 100.
- DraftInsider does not have in their top 225.
- Michael Middlehurst-Scwartz of USA Today does not have him in his top 100.
- This writer for SportsGrid does not have him in the Top 100.
- This FFtoolbox blog doesn't have him in the top 100.
- Draft Countdown has him ranked 142nd.
People who do have him in the Top 100:
- This personal site has him ranked 85th. It also has Jameis Winston ranked 36th (well behind #2 Mariota) - so take that information as you may.
- This personal SBNation blog from last December has him ranked 94th.
- This SportingNews blog has him ranked 92nd.
The only three places I could find Pullard ranked in the top 100 were personal blogs not affiliated with any sort of major publication or network. Nowhere on CBS, NFL, ESPN, USA Today or NBC was I able to find anywhere where Pullard is ranked in the top 100.
The only credibility that's being lost here is yours...because you are A) refusing to admit that you are wrong or
hitching your wagon to the opinions of unqualified randoms. If it's , that's completely fine. Just don't expect anyone to ever trust your opinions on future players...since your "sources" are of great question.So I think it's you who can choose to deal with it or STFU.

Well, the Cleveland Browns had him rated highly enough to take him and I have him rated as a future starting MLB for the Cleveland Browns.......so where someone did or did not rate him will become irrelevent once he hits the field.

If he hits the field. Which could happen but, in my opinion, it won't be due to his talent but rather necessity.
No, when I read it he said there were 8 Top 100....and he gave 8 names....and he noted they were from the Pac12. It was all one package. I may have misread it....but again, he didn't clarify well.
He technically only gave seven names when talking about the Pac 12. He talked about their first round picks and gave two names. He talked about the Pac 12 and gave seven names. He then brought up the top 100. Even still, it could be confusing.
OK...a 4th rounder certainly can be considered Top 100....or on the cusp of it. Thanks for doing my research. SB Nation had him there. When I googled his ranking, they were the first to come up.
Good on them for having a strong organic search ranking for the query string [nfl draft top 100] or something related. Unfortunately, that's more due to the fact that they likely have a plethora of content with a high concentration of those keywords (due to the nature of their site).
You listed NFL.com 3 times. Draftek etc.....why contradict yourself.....and here is a clue.....the guys that work for CBS/ESPN?USA etc.....are also just personal bloggers hired by someone else.

I listed three different writers from the same organization, since you aptly pointed out that different writers within the same organization can have differing opinions. And they also got those jobs because of their credibility. It's the difference between getting a professionally created logo from a design firm or going to Fiverr and getting one from an amateur.

Fair enough. Your stance is that you found Pullard rated in the top 100 - and he was. It just wasn't on any of the large networks or from any widely known analysts. I see your point.
I don't go off of any one person's opinion when analyzing or projecting draft picks. I watch film once on my own, I create a quick hit list of pros and cons, I read multiple sources on said prospect, then I go back into film a day or two later and see if what I originally noticed still holds true, or if I was approaching them with too critical of a mindset the first time. If I quote someone on a forum or in social media, I also try to let it be known what my opinion is as well -whether I agree with them or not.
I think you'll be waiting for that call for a long time.

I think you are all missing the point of my original post. That was that it appears that the Browns had one hell of a draft by outward appearances. I found a source that said that they had 7 of the Top 100 available players. Someone reported that another source said they had 8 of the Top 100....which source did not even include one of the players the other source said was in that group. So, cumulatively you could argue that the Browns picked up as many as 9 of the top 100 players available.
Most teams would be lucky to get three of those. I would have to check it to see where some of our rivals did in this area.
See my list under the 7 of Top 100 thread for the data on this.

Three 2014 games here...
http://draftbreakdown.com/players/nate-orchard/
Just looked at the Stanford game.
Nice rip-strip forced fumble and he got two sacks.
First sack (2:40) was a coverage sack, but 2nd (4:14) was a nice rush where he got a under Peat's pads.
Run D... not great... recognition issues.

Worth noting, Jim O'Neil said that our line Coaches (Moeller & DeLeone) informed him that film of Orchard was destroying intrigue for a lot of oline prospects he went up against. In particular, one has to wonder if his 3 sacks vrs Stanford made the Danny Shelton choice at #12 all the more easier. Orchard absolutely ragdolled Peat on one of the sacks so it certainly makes me wonder how he'd handle a matchup with T. Suggs in any game he's sloppy with bending and pad height.
Elite Left Tackles in the NFL have been able to go through a 16 game season giving up something like 1-2 sacks all season against some excellent athletes off the edge. There is no such thing as a coverage sack for this type of tackle striving to be the next Walter Jones or Joe Thomas for that matter. Does anyone remember where JJ Watt ended up the 1 time he lined up across from Joe Thomas last year? This should be easy because it was one of the only offensive replays we wanted to see more than once that day. He ended up on his back. Joe Thomas turned him into Wattshisname.
Lucky for Peat, the team drafting 13th overall thinks pad height is something they can correct beginning mini camp stances and starts drills. Back in the day, we did a board drill where 2 guys were facing each other in a 3 point stance as offensive linemen at the mid point of a board about 10 yards long and 1 foot wide. Here were the goals: 1) Be first to contact, 2) Come out of stance with the better pad height that allows you to keep your legs while the opponent loses his, 3) Keep your base wide enough so you don't over extend or fall off to one side, and 4) Finish him! Kick ass drill with a profound effect. I used that drill when I coached Offensive Line at the JV level in my first coaching experience and continued using it all the years I coached.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
