  • Are we going to look at MSU's McDowell?

  • Hue had dinner last night with Derek Barnett, Dalvin Cook and Tak McKinley

    Tonight he's dining with Deshaun Watson and Mike Williams

    If nothing else he's eating like a king at the moment!

    As @RapSheet said, FSU RB Dalvin Cook is visiting Browns. Also in Berea today, per source: Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon & Florida CB Quincy Wilson.

  • 21 privates in the books of 30. 20 if Mitch was a freebie. Privates that got a double look with pro day..Myles...Hooker...Mixon...QB's Private with Combine..Watson...Mitch...MaHomes..more RB's than I'd ever think. Maybe that 2nd on Crow is now on the table to trade up to Hooker/Adams?

    =========================================================================================

    Updated tracker.

    Might be the final tracker worth posting, as pro days are essentially over by this point, meaning that everything going forward will be prospects coming to Berea, or the Browns visiting them at their home campus.

    Some notes:

    • Kizer, Trubisky, and Watson all have the "x/x" by their name, for the reason that the Browns have conducted both private meetings and private workouts / visits with them. It's probably also worth noting that of all the QBs, Watson and Kizer probably have the most time invested into them, as the Browns did extensive research on both during the season.

    • While it has taken a while, the Browns are finally looking at a number of DBs, and with the names mentioned, its fair to guess that they're planning on taking at least one DB earlier in the draft.

    • TEs remain the hot position for the Browns, as they added David Njoku to their list of visits and checked out Evan Engram at Ole Miss' pro day. Cleveland's going to walk away from this draft with a tight end, it just depends on when.

    • Surprisingly some movement at RB. It's fair to wonder if some of these - Cook, Mixon in particular - are simply the Browns doing their homework, or if there is serious consideration to drafting a RB high in the draft.

    • Interestingly, there's been very little meetings or visits set up with defensive tackles to this point.

    • The Browns have been checking out a lot of players that should be on the board at 12, and then likely a few at 33.

  • Speaking of TE's, in a draft like this with premium defensive talent available throughout the first, and us needing to consider the TE position down the road - I'm shocked Jake Butt hasn't been mentioned more.

    I'm not shy in my praise of this kid. I really do believe when he's back to healthy - can be a difference maker at the next level. I see it as a win - win. We avoid spending a top 15 pick on a TE and use it elsewhere on a player

    that I feel can be every bit as good given time while Barney and Devalve hold it down.

  • I overlooked Jake because of his injury, and the uncertainness of when he will be back, ready to play.

    He isn't the athlete that Howard is, but he is ahead of his rehab, and I admire his love for the game, toughness, football smarts,

    etc etc etc.

    I would be happy if the Browns got him.

  • Agree... Ideally in Rnd 4, but I suspect he might go in the Rnd 3 Comp-a-thon...

    Or the JM/JG treatment. As much as I like Foster, for the Browns this is a really big gamble.

    Oh, OK, Gordon. Usually on here we see the JG reference to Garro---Polo. Garro---Polo. Garro---Polo.

    (I wonder if his middle name is Marco?)

    Me? First, I would be looking for long term improvement, not just immediate improvement. And what is BPA is a whole matter of opinion.

    As I have said in other threads, QB is our biggest need, and a link Tour gave said it is a need on a 10 out of 10 scale.

    The 8-9 out of 10 are OLB, CB/Safeties/DT/DE.

    I am not privy to the Browns own board, so I don't know who they have as the best BPA...and I am not going to guess on it. I just hear rumblings that they all don't agree themselves on that matter.
