  • Highest graded DE against the run AND pass.

    Watching him slide inside to a 3tech and destroy guards with his speed and hands on passing downs.

    He reminds me of Michael Bennett. Yes please.

    Even the announcers tonight were talking about his hands. THis kid is a freak. Watt may have been physically equal to Bosa at this stage in their careers, but not skill wise. One of the plays that impressed me the most though tonight was a run away from him where he tracked down the line for the solo tackle. His reads off the line are amazing. You can tell that he's a level above all the other defenders in terms of instinctively knowing where the ball is going at the snap. Not that the other OH St guys are bums, but he's just special.

    I'm doubling down on my original posit that I based this thread on, I really do honestly believe he could have played for the Browns this year and possibly been a starter by midway through the season. If we draft him next year and turn Armonty and Kruger back to 4-3 DE's we might be able to do something defensively. God I just hope whoever drafts this kid doesn't say hey I know let's make him a standup 3-4 Jack! Indy ruined Bjoern Werner doing that who was also the best DE in football for two years.

    I don't know if we'll pick at 1 or not, that's where he might go. But I think it's reasonably assurable we'll be picking top 5

    No thanks, Jar Jar.

  • If you're satisfied with picking a lineman rather than an OLB which is a much bigger need, you can get one of Bosa, Nkemdiche, or A'Shawn Robinson pretty much no matter where you pick.

    of course YOU would think that you pessimistic fuck.

  • I hope to christ none of my beloved buckeyes get stuck playing for this shit team.

    If the Browns did draft Bosa, Pettine would move him to OLB

    well the caveat to that is we go back to the 4-3. It's where our current supposed 3-4 OLB'ers fit better anyway. You draft a player like Bosa you don't shoe horn him into a failed system, I could see us saying hey wouldn't it be great if we dropped 15 lbs off him and made him a standup OLB'er? And it would suck. In any case Bosa could very easily do the 5 tech as OH St has him doing already when they do 3 DL. And he abuses interior lineman just like he abuses tackles. If we pick high we have to pick him, barring major injury he's got a bigger upside than Watt. Watt wasn't this kind of a freak in college, Bosa still has to continue to develop in the Pro's, obviously, and if he does he'll be better than even Watt. Unless he allows some defensive genius to say hey wouldn't it be amazing to turn Bosa into a free safety? Maybe return some punts?.

    I know I've been saying for better or worse we're stuck with Pettine for at least 2 more years until we can fire him without repercussions to the Browns brand/franchise. But if he were to do that.......................get out. I wouldn't even let him pack up his stuff.

  • He's probably going in the top 3. We're bad, but we probably won't be that bad.

  • Do you know what's going to suck? The ravens. And they're going to suck so much, they'll somehow luck themselves in to Bosa, who makes it his duty to pick up from Suggs in the new tandem (Ray Lewis->CJ Mosley) and terrorise the browns for 12 years. Can't you just feel it coming?

    yeah I can feel that cunt landing somewhere in the North besides Cleveland. What's more, I can see us passing on him first, than someone else in the North picking him up and he puts it in our ear for years.

  • I wouldn't be shocked if bosa stays in school for a year to play with his brother

  • does anyone want to venture a guess what Watts career stats would be if he landed somewhere in the North and got to play us twice a year?

    He would easily clear 20 sacks...each time he played us.

    not happening. He's draft coasting already. He'll dial it up for the playoffs but he's quite obviously in coast mode. That dude would already have broken the NCAA sack record or well on his way to breaking it within a few games if he was playing balls out from day one.

    wuts sad is that although clearly impossible what you suggest, it's not unreasonable to say that in at least one of the past years it's entirely feasible that he would have close to or at 10 sacks between two games against us.
