Where do the great ones come from....?

Udfas tend to do better than 4th to 7th rounders bc they get to pick the team that suits them best. Their agents and managers work to put them in the best situation possible. Rather than being picked by a team that hasnt done the homework they did with their first 3 picks.
That's why I hope Ricky Seals-Jones goes UFA with the Browns and makes the PS so they can make a real TE out him where he should have played his last two years in college.

Take the guy that can't block as an H-back and make him a TE? How's that a good idea?
I don't think the kid can play.

We're not drafting him. We're seeing if he can be something different on the PS. Cost-nothin' for former best player in Texas HS football.

To be sure, he also has stone hands and is slow.

Here is the data for WRs/TEs/Flankers/Split Ends by draft round:
1st: 14 <--- obviously the cream of the crop in college and NFL
2d: 4
3rd: 1
4th: 5 <--- some positions might generally get picked lower than others, QB, DE, and used to be RB picked ahead of others
Numbers and stats can be fun.

Speaking of "great ones"... hopefully this signals the peek of silly season...
Joe Thomas: Denver Broncos New Left Tackle?
http://predominantlyorange.com/2017/04/12/joe-thomas-broncos-left-tackle/It's kinda like the buzzards returning to Hinckley/Whip's Ledges... happens every year.

If Cleveland was willing to make the move for a late first round pick two years ago, would they consider it this year as part of a deal for the 20th overall pick? I think so.
Hello! McFly! Is anybody home? Two years ago you would have been dealing with the discredited Ray Farmer. Now there is a new bunch running the Browns that...hopefully...aren't so stupid.
