  • Hey Michigan! Screw you bandwagon MF'ERS.

  • I mean, it's a legit concern that the guy is a jack of all trades but a master of none. Rarely if ever does a guy play more than one position in the NFL, and Peppers will be a safety. His ability to cover the TE is extremely intriguing but what's done is done at this point.

    Welcome to the board! Don't worry, they're not all assholes. Some can actually think around their college fandom bias.

    They'll learn to love Peppers eventually.

    Obviously you can't.

    As in Cam Erving.

    Let this kid be the exception.

  • Being happy we drafted my guy is much different than pure college fandom bias.

    If I say he's guaranteed to be the next Ed Reed or something, then we can talk.

  • This is a little wierd.

    Nickers must curse a lot of things, if that's the case

    Thanks for the above video.

    Gotta say i'm intrigued by Peppers. He reminds me of Josh Cribbs (including attitude), but he will be playing for a coaching staff that will better utilize his talents. The thing I like most is his tackling. No bounce off, body block tackles from this kid. He wraps 'em up & puts 'em on the ground.

    Put me on the Peppers bandwagon. He is a football PLAYER!

    I was thinking the same thing regarding Cribbs. Peppers will be a saftey or corner, and maybe a few plays on offense. Kid has heart and toughness, i like the pick.

  • @cambridgeho said:

    Interesting analysis. Thanks for the link.

  • The more I realize the skills he brings to the DC we just got (not even counting ST's), the more I like this pick. Combined with Garrett and whomever else we add tonight, exciting times for what I wanted most for the Browns, a real defense. And to boot we ignored jumping for Trubs when there are two better next year who really are franchise level with plenty of ammo to get one. We did not Browns this thing yesterday and that makes me smile that we are not where the Bears are this morning, laughing stock of the NFL.

    My only regret is that Foster JFF'd himself right off our board. Dumb MF.

  • @tour2ma said:

    Why not now??? Your post was about pick accumulation... his response was about pick accumulation... we have accumulated picks... so now you change the subject?

    C'mon man... your QB will not be a Brown. Worse yet, his pick by the Bears is getting torched in the media... but suck it up.

    That sun setting over Erie will come up tomorrow... trust me on that...

    Disappointed we didn't get Mitch, sure- but not mad. My point Tour was, if you have an established team with multiple pro bowl players, a HOF qb- you have the luxury of accumulating picks. So how do you get all that pro bowl talent? It's not by passing on higher rated players when you're on the clock- for more picks down the road. We had a shit ton of picks already. Gip said we have plenty of ammunition- shoot it. Seems like the powder got wet today. I posted in another thread who we passed on moving down to #25, and are you going to tell me the Browns had all those guys rated lower than Peppers? Bull shit. Let me rephrase what DePodesta said about draft picks. "We don't really know how to draft, so we figure if we have enough picks eventually we'll guess right."

    C'mon, man... you're reaching... I can't think of a team that drafted to the beat of their own drummer more than the Pats, "pass(ing) on higher rated players" along their way to the top of the league.

    All lower than Peppers? No... can't tell you that. Lower than Peppers plus a 2018 first? Yes... without a doubt they'd take Peppers plus a 2018 first over any player off of the board from #12 thru #24.

    "Not all assholes"... can you be a little more reassuring? And why do Mich fans still need to "learn to love" our new swiss-army knife???

    As was I. And damn I'd be happy with another Josh Cribbs!!

  • I spoke with Williams at the auto show. I suggested Jabrill.

    I did it guys.

    I did it

    Yea, and as we said, we now hold you responsible. If he fucks up, its all on YOU.

  • So we better waste our picks and reach on a QB? Dumb

    Look, if the Browns had taken MT at #1, then Barnett at #12....then Peppers at #33....I would have been fine.

    I am still fine though. Because, well, I am just fine..as in wine.

    No, this is called you being a dumbass apparently.

    Our loyalty is toward the Browns. Not on where Browns players came from.

    Peppers is cool now because he is a Cleveland Brown...and for no other reason.

  • Being happy we drafted my guy is much different than pure college fandom bias.

    If I say he's guaranteed to be the next Ed Reed or something, then we can talk.

    Browns may take Jourdan Lewis tonight. Which would be fine with me..as we need a CB along his order. And there is a DT I think from there that may be in play.

    But, again,they would still only be worth a shit because they would be a Brown...and for no other reason.
