    Just started to watch the presser.

    What's with the hearts bubbling out of MKC's head? lmao...

    EDIT: Had to bail on the link replay... hearts... tweets... distractions...

    Full text is here: http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/article-5/Sashi-Brown-and-Andrew-Berry-pre-draft-press-conference---419/c5e5e1fb-7ff5-447a-a5fb-d5dd6511ecea

  • Eye opener from Andrew to open his participation...

    "When we embarked upon evaluating this draft class last spring, we really start with a scouting database that has roughly 8,000 prospects across all levels of college football, and to whittle that list down to the 175 players roughly that we deem as draft-able and Browns’ fits takes a lot of hard work, energy and sacrifice."

    8k to 175! That's some heavy lifting...

  • Here Tour without the hearts which is a feature on periscope

  • On how much of an understanding the Browns have with what may occur prior to the team’s second pick at No. 12 overall:

    Brown:

    We do a lot of work on that. We do quite a bit of scenario planning and you start to dig.

    Music to my ears...

  • I love what these guys always say but not always what they do.

    Hopefully other teams reach for offense early leaving us with no choice but to take the better talent.

  • Just finished watching the presser. Here are my takeaways:

    1.) Myles Garrett is their guy at #1

    2.) They are extremely confident in what they have planned for this team. The front office is in line with the coaching staff

    3.) No Jimmy G or AJ McCarron

    4.) They really value and therefore want to keep their 1st and 2nd round draft picks over the next 2 years to build this roster

    5.) The Browns are going to stick to their draft board for the most part. Don't expect the wheeling and dealing all the draft guru's are calling for them. They will go BPA with exceptions to the rule if it is truly going to make the team better

    6.) Don't be surprised if they do not pick a qb with the first 2 picks

    7.) Sashi loves to diss and discredit MKC

    8.) They have already begun scouting for the 2018 draft per Sashi

  • On the Browns’ philosophy on drafting the best overall player or for need, including weighing when it might be beneficial to ‘reach’ for a specific position of need compared to where a player ranks on the draft board:

    “All of that comes into consideration – overall talent, positional value and need on the current roster. It really just depends on the circumstance. It depends on where you are picking in the round and what other opportunities may be available later in the draft, depending on how deep a particular position is."

    And there it is...

    Secondary a late concern?

  • I think we often forget that we started behind last year given the FO and HC changes...

    On how much more prepared the Browns are for the draft after having the staff together for more than a full year:

    Brown: “We really have already started on our 2018 draft at some of the pro days. Our scouts go out and start gathering information on some of the underclassmen. You can imagine when (Head Coach) Hue (Jackson) and I were put in position here and AB joins us after the Senior Bowl how much of an abbreviated period there is in terms of being able to be prepared and get to draft night. It is a true sprint. It is about 100 days that you have once you hire your head coach to be ready, and I feel for all of the teams out there that had changes this year in GMs or coaches or both, which is what we had. We had just infinitely more time to understand our system, understand each other, understand the draft prospects and dig on them. We rely very heavily… We felt good about last year. We will feel better about this year just because we have had more time to prepare and work with our entire scouting staff and coaching staff throughout the year.”

  • On if there is any difference this year because the Browns have the No. 1, No. 12 and No. 33 picks, which doesn’t happen often:

    Brown: “That is right. You want to have an impact. Again, the number of picks high in the draft, the way we have positioned ourselves makes it that much more important.”

    Impact... watchword of our 2017 draft...

  • On if it would be a stretch philosophically to trade up in the first round or if it is a possibility:

    Brown: “We are open to it. Generally, we value picks. We think no matter how prepared you are there is always a lot of uncertainty in the draft. Every team misses. We are not going to be different in that regard.

    We like young talent. We have said the draft is going to be the pipeline. We don’t want to get into a habit of turning two picks into one, so to speak. We just don’t think that is a good way to do business over time.

    We have studied this around the league, and it is just our inclination. It does not mean that if there is a player there we might not go take a shot. We think we are positioned to be able to do that without impacting our draft much.”

    Maybe not at the slimming field of Safety positions? Will be interesting to see how they/(G.Williams) values a good S vs FS vs CB early or late? ST Return skills always a nice find also

    Hey... everyone needs a hobby...

    MKC does draw the shortest answers.... maybe if her questions were shorter... or better...

    Maybe, but also could mean it is simply not an early concern...

    Other side of the same coin maybe, but I am talking about very early as in Adams or Hooker at 12 or higher. And when I think "late", I think Day 2... starting at #33.

    When did the roster review in Gip's Current Browns thread, I came away thinking all the need is at FS where our two best rostered players, Powell and Reynolds, feel like they'd make kick-ass SSs. And that's them atop Campbell...

    Powell's speed may put him in play at FS, but no one ever said speed is bad for a SS...

    sit the orange kool-aid down 😉 Powell was a boarder line PS player coming from a good defensive club in Seattle.I like our odds coming to a browns roster. Campbell & Reynolds together were no better than Jordan Poyer now playing at Eagles(utes)..Go get Adams or Hooker from 12..Lets Lay some wood on Green & Ant. Brown...not splinters

    If they're rolling with Kess ( fine with that) and Kizer drops, as I said a while ago - fine with trading down from 12. Ideally getting a 2nd or 3rd in return would be nice.

    I'm imagining a scenario trading down from 12, netting another 2nd rounder, taking OJH with our additional first then seeing the staff bundle two 2nds to move up late day 1 and snag Kizer.

    Or perhaps just standing pat after trading down. Myles, OJH then DB, LB and Oline.

    Standing pat in said scenario.

  • Up until a few weeks ago MKC was pounding the table that the Browns

    would not take Garrett at #1. Said the people she was talking to

    didnt like him. In other words pencil him in at #!.
