  • "I just got this feeling man!!!".

    Im in no mood to watch garett go get 10 or more sacks for another defense

  • Bosa was a better player than Garrett. Not as high a ceiling, but better player.

  • Honestly i wouldnt mind taking garett this year even if we had taken bosa last year, those two would be unfair on the same front 4. However, think what we could command this year with the 1st?

    It'll be interesting to see how that all plays out for sure

  • my top 3 on my board

    #1 Allen

    #2 Lattimore

    #3 Garrett

    agree with Sapp elite pass rusher if you are a 4-3 team and need a rde but a one trick pony

    Solomon Thomas DE/DT Stanford was a 10 at the combine but only produced slightly above avg at Stanfordf...sort small for a dt,doesn't run an elite arc at de so I'd guess solid 5 tech with avg production

  • Hey Sapp - your rant works better if you substituted your "financial acumen" for Myles Garrett. Bankrupt MF.

  • Garrett will be a great player if and when the Browns can schedule Prairieview for just about every game. Otherwise I think Warren Sapp may be right.

  • I don't see anything wrong with cancelling interviews.

    Can get you in trouble sometimes.

    BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

  • I feel like we will shake things up and draft Trubisky.

    He will sit for a year

    We draft OJ Howard,

    Go defense the rest of the way

    Too late. The Browns defense needs stars, and those are only available in the first round.

    The same reason that guys - who for what ever reason, couldn't even start on their college teams become NFL studs..... There are no guarantees that any college kid, regardless of his measurables, will succeed at the next level.

    If college performance consistently translated to the NFL mock drafts and the months of discussions would be non existent.

    Exactly.....but its all we have to rate them by and it's what every one does.....and no guarantees either way....ever

    Which is why it's stupid for anyone to claim their guy is best base upon college perf, while claiming another guy sucks because college doesnt prove anything...which is where a lot of these threads end up.....

    All you can do is factor an educated guess.....and dwerps that claim to know "with certainty" that any player will fail or succeed are just that....dwerps...

    Carry on....

    I'll be the first to admit I watch very little college ball. For those of you who do tell me why he is so much better than Derek Barnett for example. Even Solomon Thomas. Also if you have followed him personally does he love football? Does he take plays off? Is he as surefire as the hype? Lastly if you don't believe he actually is a lock at #1 who do you take or do you move down a few spots? EDIT- Expand the thought process to not only is he the best DE but is he the best player.

    Warren Sapp apparently doesn't understand that college D against running QBs a measure of discipline from the DL and especially Edge DL.

    Barnett is smaller and slower... good enough? Solomon Thomas? Different player and a closer, but still not all that close, call.

    • Love Football? Yes.
    • Take plays off? Yes... more on this later...
    • He's as surefire as any in this draft.
    • He's my lock, so can't help you.

    On taking plays off...

    I think Jeff Saturday said it best last week on NFL Live when he said (more or less),

    "Can we knock this crap off? Every player in the NFL takes plays off. I took plays off. There are times when you are dog tired and you know you should chase that LB downfield and be in position in case your RB cuts back, but you just don't. And these kids in college are on the field for a bunch more plays than any pro ever is."

    So much is made about measurables - 40 time, arm length, long jump, shuttle time, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada..... There are only two things that make the great players great, and it's their heart and brain.

    So while everyone - or at least most, like to geek out on his 'freakish physical measurables', if he doesn't have that certain something burning deep inside of him that few have, then it will all be for not.

    I'll wait a while to buy a ticket to his HoF induction ceremony.

    Bullshit... if it were true Ben Boulware would go #1.

    "Heart", "desire", "passion", "motor" plus "football smarts" can only close small "talent" gaps.

    I will grant you that all the talent in the world doesn't mean jack, if desire is not there. But just because it's not in your face, does not mean it's not there... and here's proof...

    So you finally admit that Bosa would not have improved our 2016 results? 😉

  • With everyone all up and arms over Jamal Adams, I don't even think he's the best safety in this draft. Malik Hooker, while raw, has all the tools to be the best defensive player in this draft .The way he high-points the ball, his positioning, instincts, scream all-pro by year 3.

    to a point, I believe that too, except for Hooker's hip injuries, and the fact that Hooker is a free safety,

    and Adams a strong safety. Seems like that is missing from some rankings...

    Hooker has unlimited range and elite tracking skills. Shades of Ed Reed.

    Whereas Jamal Adams is better tackler and a better finisher at POC.
