Taking a step by step look at the Browns draft

The Browns Board
54 14 1.4k
  • What warps my psyche, is that if we do go Trubisky, and I'm high on the kid,

    he's going to need a terrific TE, and so will our other qb's, like Kessler,

    who might start. Like Gronk. Tyler Eifert.....

    But not getting an elite defensive player in the first round, means cb, fs, and edge rusher

    with the next three picks? That's a quandary. Just one FA signing of a very good player

    that improves the team would make a huge difference.

    Was just reading an article about a few predictions of players who have a high upside in

    the NFL

    You can certainly get a good cb, fs, rusher with those next three picks. This draft IS deeper at those spots than it is at QB.

    A Derek Barnett or Marshon Lattimore or Teez Tabor may be there at #12.

    McKinley/Tim Williams/Charles Harris may be there at #33.

    TJ Watt/Budda Baker/Adoree Jackson may be there at #52.

    And yes, some FAs to fill in some gaps wouldn't hurt.

  • I hope it's Myles garret but I reluctantly agree with ghoolie, Trubisky is a position the browns need

    Trubisky is not a position...

    PLAYER the Browns need.

    Exec #2's kid has caught my eye at the SR. Bowl...

    Executive 2: UConn safety Obi Melifonwu

    "The UConn safety is really intriguing. He's freaky athletic and he's going to put up big-time testing numbers. He'll run low 4.4s (in the 40-yard dash) and jump over 40 inches. He can play in the slot as well. Huge upside.

    ... and he is 6'4 219... He's going to rocket up boards.

    And then there's #4's TAMU consolation prize... Hall.

    Well we had another who clearly came out of nowhere to be an elite DL for Seattle-undrafted free agent Michael Bennett. But I'm not convinced on Hall. He should have played better with so much double teaming of Garrett the last 3 years.

    Stat-wise maybe, but how much was his production depressed by his assignments in the Aggie D? I saw evidence of this in Garrett's case, does it apply to Hall as well?

    And have you guys screwed up Daylon Mack or was he a flash-in-the-pan? He was a non-factor in every game I saw this year...

    They have replaced the strength and conditioning coach mainly due to underperformance of lines and LBs in the SEC as each season went on. We shall see if Mack gets salvaged out of that.

    Caught some of Obi-Wan at the Senior Bowl practice, and he's impressive all right. Shines @ the Combine, 2nd round for sure.

  • cal... you asked before about what a DE can contribute against a quick passing O? I neglected to mention "hands up."

    Send a couple minutes here... stay with it at least through the field level replay and freeze frame. I promise, it's slack-jaw stuff...

    Garrett is going to jump out of the room at the Combine...

    Funny you mention it - I watched that yesterday, don't even need to get to the point. How many DL can jump like that?

    OK I demand equal time. 🙂 Why me and Gip see Franchise QB.

    The most important observation made here, and demonstrated is the way he does in fact go through his progressions to find an open receiver. Some have claimed he does not do that, that he focuses just on his initial target. But this clearly contradicts that belief. On some of these highlights he had extremely fast reads to find the 2d/3rd target.

    (this announcer though is pretty lame)

    Um very accurate, mobile, good pocket awareness, and noted he can toss the ball 50 yards in the air off his back foot under pressure.

    We want Mitch! We want Mitch! We want Mitch!

    You have sharp eyes for an old fart... but a crap sense of "equal time". I showcased one play; you post a 13.5 minute video. 😛

    I watched that one as well... as I did Kizer's and Allen's and...

    On the whole I like Voch's analyses, the points he makes ring true for the most part. Even for QBs, a position he states is not really in his analytical wheelhouse. (He's a "trenches" guy.) But what becomes abundantly clear after watching a few of his vids is that his sample size is very small.

    He pulls a couple snippets from a couple cut-downs and talks over them as if he's not seen them before. Entertaining as hell... but not conclusively persuasive. He seems to be going for a volume of players covered rather than depth of coverage.

  • I actually thought that for as long as his video was, he did not illustrate enough plays. He liked talking about the same play over and over.

    And to be totally fair Tour- those plays were pulled from his big wins- when he was "on". I've seen enough, MHO Trubisky is way ahead of any of the other qb prospects. We may well take Garrett- and I'm (reluctantly) OK with that. It's going to be an either\or. We get Myles or Mitch- not going to be both. The odds of Mitch lasting to #12 are about the same as Garrett falling that far.

  • To be fair, I'll bet that one of the QB's falls to 12. The teams from 1-11 have some pretty big weaknesses on D for which the D game-changer is more of a plus for that position than the QB.

  • Trubisky is going measure in closer to 6'1" at the combine.

    We'll see. Of course a lot of those college height\weight stats get inflated- but not always.

    Ha if Garrett can't make it in the NFL, the NBA awaits- but can he shoot?

    What would yours be? Outside of inexperience, which isn't *necessarily* a disqualifying factor.
