Day 2-3 Targets YOU Want to See

The Gipper

I would say Ragland.....but just this morning I am hearing about his medical issues.....and wondering if it is too big of a risk. Jack is in the same category.....CBS has him rated #4 overall best talent in the draft. But there he sits with medical issues. Then there is Spence, not medical, but character issues. Three first round talents.....all big question marks. You didn't say how many picks we have. So, if we ignore the above guy here are 4-5 guys for 32, 65, 76,77,

32: Kevin Dodd DE Clemson or Jason Spriggs OT Indiana

65: Nick Martin OC Notre Dame

Joshua Perry OLB Ohio St.

Darian Thompson FS Boise St.

Kentrell Brother ILB Missouri

76/77: Jerald Hawkins OT LSU

Pharoh Cooper WR S. Carolina

Bronson Kaufausi DE BYU

What's our history like with guys who have character/medical issues? I want to say not good in recent times.

So pissed the Raiders jumped all over Karl Joseph... That was my pick for tonight. But, moving on...

If the Browns can make a Myles Jack/Hunter Henry sweep in round 2.

I guess you'd need to take Jack now at 32 and trade back into the second to swipe the TE.

I wouldn't hate it if they took Hunter Henry, but I don't see it as an urgent need. But nothing wrong with more weapons.

Personally I have gone 100% risk avoidance for this draft... at least when it comes to Days 1 and 2. No medical or personnel red flags period.

Day 3? We'll see, but not today...

Absolutely. The draft in itself is a risk. We don't need to add chances of character & medical risks.

Scooby Wright is a smart football player with a nose for the ball. Plays tough.

We should get Jack, and then take Scooby as insurance on Jack. Two amazing LBs, but Jack could play all over the field.

Ragland is tooooooooo slooooooooooow...

And yet you want the slower "Scoobie"?

Noah Spence, Derek Henry and Jason Spriggs. Ian Rappaport is reporting the Browns are going to trade the 32nd pick and I believe it.

This. You can't complain about Ragland's speed then gloss over how slow Scooby is.

In our board mock draft I got Leonard Floyd at 32 but he went at 9 so I would like one of Spriggs, Hunter Henry or trading down and getting Kentrell Brothers

Okay so we don't take Scooby. Or Killebrew. But for The love of God draft Jack.

Well... he is a faster choice...

I don't like the idea of by the end of three-years, the length of his rookie contract, the time may be up for his knee. Just at the moment when the rebuild is scheduled to turn the corner to being competitive one of your building blocks has to undergo a still very iffy procedure.

Gun to my head I wait a round and cast my net in Jaylon Smith's direction... at least he'd be mended by then, if it's going to go his way. And the word on him is that the nerve is question is stretched and not severed, which dramatically increases his recovery odds.

That said... currently there is no gun to my head.

Here's the Dr.'s report I alluded to for Smith...

That’s because the lateral damage stretched Smith’s nerve “enough to make it go to sleep, but it wasn’t stretched enough to be structurally elongated or visually very damaged” like more severe injuries, Cooper told USA TODAY Sports. There’s normally a one-month lag time before the nerve regrows at all, and once it begins, the rate is only about 1 inch per month.

“He’s had time for his nerve to regrow 2 inches, and the area of where his nerve was injured is 6 inches above the muscle that it innervates,” said Cooper, who’s also the Dallas Cowboys’ head team physician. “I wouldn’t really expect him to get much innervation back into that muscle for two or three more months. Then once it does – I’ve seen kids who are completely paralyzed like him on the lateral side and not able to pick their foot up at all (that) wind up being totally normal.”
