I know what a dickhead is. With a mirror you will get to observe one as well.
Is it something you haven't seen in 40 years?

Single "handedly" keeping the lotion business afloat.

I keep seeing BPA being tossed out there.
To me, that's impossible to determine when dealing with such vastly different roles.
I prefer BPI: Biggest Positive Impact
Maybe an offensive lineman is the top player in the draft. But would an O-Line guy have a bigger positive impact on the Browns than a good QB or a star edge rusher?

And I think Sheldon Rankings is a better 3-4 DE prospect than Bosa... I'm not a Nassib guy at all.
Yea, sure....and the Dave Clark 5 was a better band than the Beatles.
Point is, as you know, schemes matter. Bosa would be an upgrade over Kruger in Krug's historic role, but as we talked last season, with Krugs in the line-up we were a 3-4 in name only. Make it official... swap to a 4-3... give Bosa a home. But he is miscast as a 3-4 OLB...
At least now you got something right. What dumbass would ever think of putting Bosa as an OLB? He is a DE....3-4, 4-3, it don't matter.
But I still go Goff at #2...

Gip, if you don't think 3-4, 4-3 DE it don't matter- TC is right, you don't know what you're talking about.

That's a fantastic way to put it. I've been going with just your basic ROI terminology, but this makes much more sense.
To me, Goff/Wentz + BPA 3-4 OLB would have a much higher BPI than, say, Bosa + Cook.
In a year so deep at DE/OLB, why blow it all early on a guy who, in my opinion, is maybe half-a-Watt at best.

Bravo, great post.
DLs who can win and disrupt and edge rushers who can collapse the pocket are what are needed most.

You could be right. Which Day 2 EDGE guys are you liking?

All signs pointing towards Cook being a less talented Jay Cutler.... Or that being like Jay Cutler would be his peak

I'm a Nassib potential guy. He checks every box in terms of off-field intangibles, and I really like that he added basically 75 pounds to his frame so that he could play DE. He's a guy that I think could come in and compete immediately and blossom into an above average professional player for an extended period of time. To me, he just seems like one of those draft finds that teams like the Patriots or Steelers of late would grab.
I'd still go Goff or Wentz at #2 as well.
The thought of getting Jaylon Smith is intriguing to me if the price is right.

Same here, but I think that ship is about to sale. Word is his rehab is going amazingly well and he will walk onto the field at the Combine sans crutches. He may even lift.

I'm Glad All Over to have fixed your reply... well, at least the fixable part of it.
The 3-4/4-3 being the same part is beyond help...

I don't know where guys are being mocked as of late, I haven't had the time to really pay attention to the draft as a whole.
Guys that I've been intrigued by, that aren't necessarily the top at their positions, however:
- Obviously Jaylon Smith (because of his injury, I mean)
- Obviously Leonard Floyd
- Emmanuel Ogbah
- Noah Spence
- Shilique Calhoun
- Carl Nassib
- Kevin Dodd (kind of)
I'm intrigued by Calhoun's talent, but worried about his size and technique. The guy I'm the most excited about is Nassib, I think he will really come on strong in about two years. Spence is another that needs a couple years and is a decent sized risk.
We could go the work ethic route and go Ogbah/Nassib. We could go the go the talent upside route and go Spence or Calhoun. We could go the trade up route and try and get Jaylon or Leonard in the mid-late first.
I have a bunch of garbage floating around in my brain that I need to iron out, there's just so many different edge guys this year that I haven't figured out a best case scenario yet.

Whats intriguing is how loaded this draft is with DE's and DT's.....absofuckinlutely loaded.....what 10-12 are projected as round 1 talents?....and you know they arent all going in the first.....which ones drop is the real question....but you'd think there will still be some good talent in rnds 2 and 3...
And compounding the dilemma is that DE is one of the strongest areas in FA too....so, it will be interesting to see if the Browns go after a top FA, instead of drafting DE early...
How about a Mario Williams(soon to be cut)...Olivier Vernon....Robert Ayers....J. Pierre-Paul.....Mohammed Wilkerson....??
All double digit sack guys about to hit the market....

Have not heard many people say "absofuckinlutely loaded" about the depth of the EDGE draft class. Which is what we need to be focusing on, not DTs. The Browns just used a high pick on Shelton, just drafted X Cooper, Meder has been a good surprise, they have Des Bryant under contract and extended Hughes last year. Starks might also have another year left in him.
They need a 5-tech who can hold the edge and collapse the pocket, and a OLB who can hold up against the run. I don't see many dynamic OLB rushers in the class, at all. Might need to pay, or hope Kruger will be utilized better under Horton.
Getting Bosa at 2 and then Shaq Lawson/Noah Spence at 32 would be a dream scenario.

I'll look into Calhoun more. I like Noah Spence, Floyd and Shaq Lawson the most right now. Not sure any fall to 32.

Including me.....
Not seeing too many sure shot dominant pass rushers, hence the suggestion we look at FA's that are proven,many of whom are young and have lots of miles left........and then tap one a little later in the draft........
And if they draft Bosa, Ill be perfectly fine with that....guaranteed....

He's thin. Not Mingo thin, but still thin regardless. Does a better job of converting his speed to power than Mingo does, but he won't win any battles with straight power.
Shaq would be intriguing but I have a feeling he'll be gone by 15. Something about Clemson defensive ends and people just go bananas.

Agreed. And add Calhoun to that list @ #32. It would not bother me to trade up into the first some to get one if it appears all will be gone by 32. Denver just proved once again what all of us oldtimers forget from time to time. Defense wins championships. Ours can be fixed quite well and very quickly with those we have and those we add in FA and this draft.

I love Spence as a Kruger replacement, but I do not see Spence or Lawson being around at 32. They are very good Edge Rushers in a thin crop.
Was just scouting ND's Stanley (OT) and watched his Clemson game. Lawson ate him up with a gorgeous spin move.
Day 2
Calhoun will be there, but does not excite me. Speed is OK; Power is OK.
Nassib strikes me as a one-trick pony. Can he develop? Sure...
Georgia's Jenkins intrigues me... need to spend more time on him.
Day 3
Nicholas (VaTech) and Ngakoue (Maryland) have also caught my eye.
Kinda like Mud, what excites me are the number of DTs in the draft that look like they have the potential to be great 3-4 DEs. Nkemdiche (Ole Miss), Rankings (Louisville) and Washington (OSU). Even Day (NDU) fits this mold. And unlike the Edge guys, a couple of these will be there on Day 2.
