    OK, all you guys predicting that Trubisky will fall to the Browns at like 10 or something.....please take your collective heads out of your asses and rejoin planet Earth. He goes Top 5 be that Browns, Bears, Jets, 49ers.

    to be fair gipper i did two drafts because i agree mitch wont fall to past 5. but if we can get garrett and trubisky that would be cool

    Sure, why not.

  • Don't forget it's also only december. In previous years Geno Smith, Teddy Twatwater and others have been locked in number one picks until a bad pro day, or bowl game, or combine or whatever.

    Nah man, Trubisky is the best player to ever play the game of football, haven't you heard? He's a QB and he's kind of from the greater Cleveland area. We should be trading up to the 0th pick to get his ass.

    He said he wanted to be a Brown! Hysteria!

    Well... it is something we don't hear every year...

    Closest we've come to it since Bernie was "Let's wreck this league." 😮

  • so what are the legitimate chances that we select garrett and he declines it and asked for trade immediately?

  • Ag has guaranteed he'll be great for us, so must mean he'll sign with us.

  • Scratch Derek Barnett off my first round list and as a premium pass rusher.

    Next up, Tim Williams tape.

  • Your Picks:

    Round 1 Pick 1: Myles Garrett, DE/OLB, Texas A&M (A+)

    Round 1 Pick 4 (CHI): Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina (A+)

    Round 2 Pick 1: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford (A)

    Round 2 Pick 15: Adoree' Jackson, CB, Southern California (A)

    Round 4 Pick 1: Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M (B+)

    Round 5 Pick 31: Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn (A+)

    Round 6 Pick 1: Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State (A-)

    Your Future Picks:

    2019 Round 1 Pick

    I like this draft. I solved problems. I got skills and talent. mic drop

    I got Garrett's teammate Hall, he made plays as well. I think that with a front of Nassib, Shelton, Hall flanked by Ogbah, Collins, Kirksey and Garrett would be lethal. Back em up with Haden and Kindred at Safety, put Jackson and Taylor at corners... we'll have a strong D, with a lot of other players returning from injury. I mean you could even keep Haden at CB and put Jackson in the slot for a while. We found a good player in DKindred, he reminds me a little of Ward. We could try and pick up a FA Safety to cover the other slot or see if Campbell can take it.

    Offense is sick looking. Our Oline will recover next season... Our line will look ages better with Trubisky's dual threat and quick release. Our WR triple threat... GORDON! Pryor and Coleman will finally materialize. RB group of Duke, McCaf and Pumphrey will be to quick and fast to catch.

    And we got a legitimate contender to hold Dawson's jockstrap.

    LOL! You know you want him with the Browns. We take him he won't weasel out. And I know you've seen enough to add your guarantee too. 😆

    Zero.

  • Agree with war on both counts.

    @logicisforsquares said:

    It's what I didnt see. His first step lacks explosion, kid plays heavy footed.

    No ability to dip and bend getting under and by the tackle. Also saw no strong bull rush to compensate.

    Makes decent enough use of his hands, stacks and sheds well enough. But if this team is looking for a pass rusher first and foremost, he ain't it.

    Thanks for the insight. I hadn't watched the kid so I wanted to know what the hangup was.

  • I'm looking at WalterFootball and Charlie Campbell has got us:

    1. Myles Garrett (DE/OLB)

    9. Mike McGlinchey (OT)

    33. Gareon Conley (CB)

    50. Marcus Maye (S)

    Two questions:

    1. What does everyone think about us skipping an offensive lineman and stocking up on stud defensive players? I wouldn't mind grabbing Marlon Humphrey (if he slides to the 9th) or Jamal Adams as opposed to another OL. I know that this draft class is loaded with defensive backs, but why not og after the two best ones? Humphrey looks special.

    2. Charlie Campbell has Tim Williams at 27, and he questions his ability to be an every-down backer/end. Isn't he the more reputable one vs. Walter?

  • I'm happy skipping OL in a weak OL class, given our *relative* depth at the position.

  • Plus... and this is simply based on history... I think there will be at least one hidden, OL gem waiting to be mined on Days 2 and 3.

    I know, at least between myself and you, this has been a theme for the past couple years.

    In that time I've seen these value picks bloom so I'm on board with day 2 or 3 lineman.

    But to ignore the OL completely if it's suggested...? Not a chance.
