    I thought that acquiring four first rounders while being able to keep our 2018-19 first round selections was an epic and masterful move... I guess you disagree...

    nobody cares about these unrealistic computer fantasy mocks. If this had even the slightest chance of happening in real life, I'd be pumped, but it doesnt. Maybe these fantasy mocks need their own thread?

    I don't know if it's unrealistic. The #1 pick can obviously be turned into two first rounders. 12 could be a bit more difficult but not impossible by any means. Will we do it? Who knows.

    Serious lack of explosion, questionable hand usage to keep lineman from getting into his pads, no counter move. Just not impressive as a pass rusher, basically.

    Others have had the opposite opinion. I guess it just goes to show.

  • What position does Watt play in our D? If it's OLB, is drafting him contingent on NOT signing Collins?

    If we sign Collins, I don't want to draft any other LBs at all unless it's Foster or a day 3 flier like a Boulware.

    What have you done wrong that you have to be vindicated for? Just about all the rankers have this guy...Barnett.. ranked in like the Top 15 players.

    Do you think they are all wrong and only you are right?

  • Watt is pretty much a consolation prize... I actually think he might look pretty good at MLB... at least in our base 4-3, but if not Kirksey can play the middle for me.

    Always interesting to see what the sim does when picking for us... I took BLT... the sim took:

    Round 1 Pick 1 (1) Browns: Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson
    Round 1 Pick 12 (12) Browns: Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
    Round 2 Pick 1 (33) Browns: Sidney Jones, CB, Washington
    Round 3 Pick 3 (67) (CHI) Browns: Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
    Round 3 Pick 5 (69) (TENN) Browns: Marcus Maye, FS, Florida
    Round 3 Pick 17 (81) (WASH) Browns: Tyler Orlosky, C, West Virginia
    Round 3 Pick 26 (90) (SEA) Browns: Conor McDermott, OT, UCLA
    Round 4 Pick 10 (106) (CHI) Browns: Kareem Hunt, RB, Toledo

    Basically trade-wise it stood pat thru pick #33 and then went nuts... but landed some good value.

    More of an ironic kind of comment for going against the 'popular' pick. Or even when my pick isn't the popular one.

    Do I think they're all wrong? No, not one bit. Just about all?... yep. After the combine I'm willing to bet Barnetts' draft stock takes a serious hit.

    Well, OK, we shall see. I mean, I don't care if we get Derek Barnett, or Dick Barnett (former NBA player), or Dirk Bennett (porn star).

    Just do the Casey Stengal thing: Get us someone that can play this game.

  • Giving Patrick Mahomes a second look now. I swear I'm watching Vince Young minus the top end, long legged runs.

    Just no to Watson @ #1, Pocic won't go in the first, and Switzer will be long gone by the seventh.

    I agree with Gip. if you want to play Fantasy Draft, I'm starting a new thread just for that. This one is already 71 pages. AND I'm closing this thread and starting a new one draft talk #2. Reality only there, talking about prospects, keep the computer games out of it, please .
