    Sure, again, just going on the sim results. They didn't franchise him and he hit the open market.

    LOL-got to be a bad sim because he goes nowhere near $13mil in the open market. Closer to Suh's contract.

    Quite possibly. Then again I had plenty of cap space left.

  • With Mack cut - I basically signed Gino Gradkowski as an almost direct replacement. Will look to draft someone as well maybe later if it's good value:

    DOH! SO you don't think Israel can handle RT? 😉 And forgot that I'd resigned Olsen, but thought he was likely bubble material, thus the 0% guarantee. Anyway... added and gone...

    All the PS guys are dumped into the one roster up on the Browns' website... so there's a few names listed that the sim site has not bothered to update.

    I do kinda like the D. I think the front 7 just might be able to generate some pressure. 🙂

    I gave up trying to resign Gipson. Last offer he rejected was $7.5/2/50. Poyer might be serviceable at FS. He did do some nice fill in work. The kid I drafted late is interesting. Kearse played as a 6'4 SS last year for Clemson at 220 lbs. And he's fast enough to handle FS... And while I list him at CB, I still think Gilbert might pull off FS.

    I see lots of FS options beyond Gipson, though I dont think anyone is gonna pay him top dollar.....Eric Weddle and Reggie Nelson would be good pick ups......Gilbert is a VERY interesting prospect at FS, providing he picks up on his tackling......still think Desir could fill that role quite well too.....

    With a lot of moving I got 2 1st rounders and an extra 2017 first rounder 🙂

  • Shit, meant to post one earlier today...hopefully it's still queued up in my work computer's clipboard when I get back in the office.

    This is the problem I have with this game...

    Traded with Dallas to #4, picked up their 1st, 2nd, 3rd.

    First two picks were Tunsil (TEN), Ramsey (DAL).

    Traded 2017 1st and 2018 1st, plus 2016 3rd and 5th for San Diego's #3.

    Took Bosa at #3.

    Traded #4 to San Fran for #7, 2016 2nd, 2016 5th (I think)

    Next three picks were Goff (SF), Buckner (JAX), Stanley (BAL).

    Took Jack at #7.

    Traded 2016 2nd, 2016 2nd, 2016 3rd, 2016 5th, 2016 6th with NYG to move up to #10.

    Took Wentz at #10.

    Bunch of other shit happened.

    Took Brothers at #32.

    Took Matakevich in the fourth.

    Took Kolby Listenbee with my last pick.

    Ended up with:

    Bosa

    Jack

    Wentz

    Brothers

    Matakevich

    Listenbee

    When all was said and done, I got the top OLB, one of the top DE's, one of the top QB's, probably the third rated pure ILB, a project ILB, and a KR/ possible replacement for Benjamin.

    Still got a 7,600 or some shit.

    Granted, I did mortgage our future...

    And deservedly so. It was some shit because you got Jack Shit coming in the next two drafts. 😛 No one in their right minds gives up two future first rounders for a #3, let alone adds in all the rest of those. Did you learn nothing from the Ricky Williams deal?

    I'd venture to say that Myles Jack and Joey Bosa would likely be top ten prospects in the next two drafts, so it's essentially a wash. And are you implying that every pick outside of the first round is "jack shit"?

    Why do you say that? I've watched a decent amount of tape on him - as much as on Bosa and other non-QB players. I don't see anything wrong with him, aside from his injury.

    Admittedly, I don't pay as much attention to OLB/DE as I do QB...but Jack checked all the boxes for me. Smart, instinctual, athletic, meets the runningback in the hole (a huge plus in my book), solid first step, takes good open field angles, doesn't get caught handfighting, leverages his lower body strength.

    Granted, he's a little undersized for the 3-4, but I think he'd be a great rush LB and an instant improvement over anyone on our roster.

    Combined bigger than I expected.

    Agree he's be an upgrade and an instant 3-down OLB, but I don't see an impact player. His edge rush from tape I've seen just isn't there... not as a steady diet anyway. More of an "element of surprise" rusher...

    Might end up at ILB... at least in dime packages. The kid can cover... and is great in space.
