Draft Day 1 Thoughts

Johnny Fingers Farmer

I'll give the guy a chance before I bag on him. However WTF BROWNS

I don't think people will ever be happy. We don't draft a receiver we get arguably either the #1 or #2 WR depending on who you talk too and people are pissed. just crazy.

Strengths

Instant blur off the snap. Feet turn over at a blinding pace and he devours cushion before cornerbacks know what hit them. Able to get over the top of every corner he faced and demands safety help over the top. Works back to the ball. Explosive leaper with ability to climb ladder and win the 50/50 ball and body control to secure the acrobatic catch. Touchdown maker finishing 2015 with 20 receiving touchdowns. Smooth, speedy stems to the post will be difficult to mirror and match for NFL cornerbacks. Easy route adjustments in space. Defenders who try to jam and miss pay the iron price (touchdowns). Able to make tacklers miss in tight spaces. Has experience as ball carrier and punt returner. Heavily targeted (39 percent) in Baylor's high-flying attack.

Weaknesses

Does his best work from outside the numbers, but lacks desired NFL size to play outside. Allows cornerbacks to leverage him against the sideline on deep throws. Takes longer than expected to gear down for comeback routes after hitting top speed. Ran limited number of simple routes. Hands are a concern. Fails to catch away from his body. Dropped 10 passes for a drop rate of 11.9 percent. Loses focus and concentration on routes that work towards the middle of the field or when he senses defenders are closing in. Had sports hernia surgery that forced

The guy's got speed, and is a play maker. It's not a bad pick at 15.

2015 Biletnikoff award winner (best WR in college football) the #1 WR on many "draft guru's" board, a nasty player, and a position of desperate need, and yet that's not good enough for some of us????????

Really like what the new staff has done. Getting good grades too: http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades.php

We do have 12 more picks this year . . . at least at the moment.

Lot's of Ammo for the next two years also.

The Browns should have drafted whatever some internet forum turd decided was the better pick.

Mr. Sensitive

Ambivalent about this pick. We shall see how it works out.

WR was a strong need and we took one and got a million picks in the process. Coleman also had the best pure athleticism of th WR class. Could have been wayyyyy worse

Lynch still on the board...I have a bad feeling about this.

I'd laugh. Like "hey guys, we're really not Ray Farmer"

Lynch is 3rd round quality at best

MLD Woody

If anything, this draft has really let the dumbasses on the board shine through

gftChris

Broncos trading up for this pick...

JAFBF

Said they're done for the night, and that they've had calls already about the #32 (first tomorrow) pick already.

Coleman has the highest ceiling of any WR in the draft. Browns went shooting for the moon. I dig it.

Paxton Lynch to Denver
