Carl Nassib
-
Is it too soon to think Carl Nassib could be the next JJ? His ascension into the starting lineup after one game could be a sign. Call me crazy but I have to hope that this could be our most successful draft since the Browns returned.
Of course it is obvious we were playing with a D2 college roster with the previous regime's and most needed replaced, but the future looks bright with most of our draft picks. In 3 years this teams will be a force.

Yes

Nassib was our best "below the radar" pick. Besides, Mud found him first.

"below the radar" We got DE Ogbah at pick #32. Dodd & Jaylin Smith were next 2 picks.10 picks later, DE Jhad Ward went at #44 in 2nd round..My point is, we finally may have got some drafting luck in Nassib. Lasting 21 more picks to get him at #65. Not a DE picked after Ward at #44.. Like what i see in my man Kindred also "under the radar"..#chickencrabshoot

I like Kindred a lot too, but admit he was not on my radar before we drafted him.

Not much was talked about nassib after last weeks game but i saw a few plays that looked like a 5 year veteran play. He still gets overpowered alot but when he can keep his arms extended and give himself a sec to disgnose the play he's seperating himself from the other rookies.
The most impressive play to me was when he held off the left tackle while sliding to his right down the los....he then disengaged and ran the ballcarrier down from behind that was going to tje opposite field. Hey guys, thats a play that kruger may have never made for us. Its the kind of play though that bosa made in college on a regular basis. Nassib not so much and i watched his tape. So om encouraged this kid is growing his game. That was my main worry about nassib is that he wasnt necessarily nfl ready yet and he needed developed, something the browns arent known for.
Just a parting thought, we could have had nassib and bosa. We still obviously neeed to see what bosa looks like but i could pleasure myself to the thought of those two guys rushing off the edge for us.
And have any of u noticed that hortons been standing nassib up too? Did u guys notice nassib take the TE and bump the fuck out of him for 5 yds before releasing him across the middle and covering him like a blanket? All things none of u thought he was capable of nor thought bosa could do either. Those two guys were hands down the top two DE's in the big ten last year and now both will be performing standup duties for their respective teams.
When nassib gets stronger and develops a bullrush to setup his aleady very good edge rush....he's going to be sick imo. Waste to put him in at 3-4 DE for anything more than spot duty.
He still gets overpowered alot
This is my fear about him.
Of course, I hope he turns out to be good!

And no im not getting over it. Not getting over watt, not getting over mack etc,etc,etc.
No browns fan should get over this dumbass drafting we've been up to for years now.

That's part of the reason I turned into a big curmudgeon the last couple months. I'm going to let that go- at least until after the draft next year.

Nassib is currently PFF's highest graded rookie defender after one game and 4th overall rookie. Which is nice.
Also, Jason Kelce, the Eagles' pro-bowl/all-pro center was their *lowest* graded offensive player, while Danny Shelton actually graded out well. Which is nice.

Hopefully Nassib continues to improve but unfortunately if you play like a competent starting NFL defensive end and wear a Browns jersey, you are Canton bound.

That can be said for just about every player we have that does OK to good.....cause we have gone SOOOOOOO long without greatness, that a lot of fans over react and think average/good IS great......Nassib being compared to JJ Watt is a classic example......one of the most ridiculous things Ive ever heard about a guy who only has a few games and tackles under his belt....and is deficient in so many areas.....lets just be happy he's earned the right to play on a terrible team, before we start with the HOF bullshit......thats talk for 5-8 years from now....

Sad how low the bar is.

He is a big guy whith a high motor who doesn't give up. I don't think his ceiling will ever be at Watt's level, but that is for time to tell us. Fact of the matter is 1 game doesn't tell us anything. I don't get why people jump to these conclusions so fast. Like last week Grossi saying that fucked up the #2 pick simply based off the first game. First games and even first seasons don't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. Hell look at RGIII now compared to his rookie season.
-
The thing that we have right now is that it looks like at least three of sashi and co's picks are going to pan out. Too early to say but Coleman, Nassib and ogbah all look promising. When was the last time we hit on one draft pick much less three?
-
Im waiting on Higgins to get his shot at having more playing time, but thats gonna be hard to get once Gordon comes back. Great awareness by him to nap that tipped ball even though the play was called back.

Id say you could probably throw Schobert in there too
-
How about our pair of 4th rounders at Safety. Campbell-2015...and Kindred-2016 both looking good! ?
-
Kindred is certainly panning out, the guy looks very solid. Campbell too - it's a shame they're both hitters and not coverers.

hmmm...how about the last 2 years??
Shelton, Orchard, Duke, Cooper and Campbell....2015
Bitonio, Kirksey and Crow.....2014
Id say most of these guys look promising too.....
And if we're judging after just 2 games....throw in Terrence West, Pierre Desir and Charles Gaines for good measure(as they all had us excited early, as well)....
Lots of young talent that could develop.....
And not trying to be a downer, cause I like these guys, but OIgbah and Schobert haven't really shown much yet, if you're asking me...(schobert 2 tackles-2 games....& Ogbah has 3)
-
While they might not be showing much, they're not really being shown up either, which is a nice change to Mingo not being able to do anything about the run.
