    Saw a very new mock draft (about an hour old) that has us taking Mitch #1, and then Cam Robinson, OT from Bama, with the Eagles' pick. Can't say I'd hate that. We'd need a lot of help from the football gods for that to happen, but talk about filling some major needs...

    To build on that, don't be surprised to see the Browns trade back into the first round with (you guessed it!) the New England Patriots. The Patriots are notorious for trading back and acquiring picks, and would there really be THAT much difference from pick 33 to pick 30? So WHY would we want to do that? Well, I could see us doing that if the draft's top OG is available. His name is Dan Feeney I believe, and he plays for Indiana. He's a tough bastard, and that would fill another need. Yeah, we need safety, and yeah we need a corner...but we REALLY need another guard too.

    But we really really need a center better than Camshaft more. 🙂 Elflin (Ohio State) can play either. He moved from guard to center this year. MHO- problem solved. Assuming Reiter comes back and isn't the answer either.

    With the all the unknowns regarding the OL, the more versatility we have the better.

    You never know when we'll have to resort to plan "B"...or "C".

    Pretty sure this week we're at at least Plan "D"...

    I'd be ecstatic if we got our QB and the two best lineman in the draft.

    Look at the Titans.

    The last 4 years their first round has been

    OL

    OL

    QB

    OL

    They were 2-14 two seasons in a row, and all of a sudden their franchise guy is protected, their running game is 2nd in the league, and they are firmly in the playoff hunt in December.

    We should take a page out of their book.

    No way we'll have the patience to go through what Tennessee has on the way up.

    Well we did draft a first round OL last year, and second round the year before.

    That's a pretty fair point, and it's similar to what the Cowboys have done. The Titans also invested heavily in the RB position, and it's paid dividends. Investing in the RB position is somewhat controversial, and many people are of the thinking that "you can get a decent RB anywhere." There might be some truth to that, but elite RB's aren't found every day either.

    There's going to be a lot of pressure on this upcoming draft and free agency. Time to knock it out of the park.

    Hold off for Guice from LSU in 2018, the "next" Elliot runs like a clone.

    Are we sure by that time he won't be the 'next Fournette'? After all, Elliott was the first great, generation, can't miss running back since a guy named Todd Gurley was drafted by the then-St Louis Rams way back in 2015.

  • W wargograw wrote on last edited by

    Fournette is still a better runner than Guice. The latter is probably a bit more athletic; maybe a better blocker.

    That's the key... Zeke is so much more than "a runner"...

    I read that this morning, good article. I'd take either one of them at this point, though I'm still more in love with Kizer's potential than anything. Just no Watson, please.

    As I've said, I thought he looked pretty good the only time I saw him during the only year he was able to start in the ACC. But, if we're talking about him for the 1st overall pick, it wasn't enough to change my football wood factor from balsa to sequoia.

  • jiggins7919J jiggins7919 wrote on last edited by

    There's a large piece of me that hopes Mitch grades out really well, and we select him #1. I would like to have our prospect locked up, and ready to go. I just don't know if we can pass on a blue chip pass rusher. It's such a mind screw. Watching us get stonewalled by a decimated Charger OL....it was just awful. We had NOBODY that could make a big play on the QB on so many 3rd and longs. Nobody that could push their guy out of the way and slam Rivers. God we need that. It's just so tough when you haven't had a QB in so many years.

    A maybe QB or sure thing pass rusher?

    Not much of an argument imo

  • C calfoxwc wrote on last edited by

    I think the draft is deep in edge rushers. Take the qb, if he's your guy.

    You find the guys you want to add to your team, and take em when

    you think they can still be there. Like the 246 offensive tackle. If he was

    there in the fourth round... he's a guard probably, but what a guard.

    SF will lose to Seattle while the Browns will beat the non-starters in Pitt. SF takes Trubisky and the Browns take Garrett or Allen.
