  • Peppers isn't half as good as Hooker.

    Hate this pick.

  • As far as houston they aren't really a shit team so Watson will have a chance to not bust.

    Chicago sucks. Good luck mitch.

  • Nate Burleson on NFL Network says the Browns are now 5 or 6 games better than 2016 even before we know who we take day 2. He loved the 3 starters we just added.

    EDIT: And the whole Good Morning Football crew think the Browns pulled this off without reaching and setting 2018 up to be another banner year.

    Ball hawking? No, Hooker wins that going away. But all around DB play? That gap narrows...

    While I'm not a big fan of Chuckie, Gruden made a couple interesting comments about Peppers...

    • his PassD numbers would have been much higher had been primarily utilized in a single-high role, and
    • if he could pick one guy to be the last tackler between a ball carrier and the winning TD, it'd be Peppers.
  • ]What's so hard to understand? They did pretty much what I thought they would do. They took the best pass rusher in the draft, a safety that fits Gregg Williams' scheme as a box safety and fills our returner needs as well, and a tight end with tremendous upside for an offensive scheme that led to Tyler Eiffert catching 13 TD's in Hue Jacksons last season in Cincinnati.

    And they had to make all of those deals to do that?

    What they're doing is trying to show the rest of the NFL is that they are the smartest ones in the room.

    Interesting comment. I don't disagree though. He's run down WRs and HBs in games where he could just take a break.

    It's amazing how one player can have people think he's a great tackler and people think he's a terrible tackler at the same time

    And college is different than the nasty professional game, separates the men from the boys who want the paychecks and not the brutal play.

    I know I don't see Peppers as a hard-hitting, form tackler, but that's different from reliably bringing the ball carrier to the ground and I think that's what Gruden was saying.

    Right but there are people, including some on here, that just think he can't tackle

  • I was hoping the Browns would draft Peppers...in about the 4th round.

  • It'll be fun looking back at these threads once Peppers starts making plays all over the field.... I'm thinking by early November.

  • If you haven't seen

    .. you really should. His sr season stats aren't what you'd expect, for good reason.

    His stats were the topic of discussion this morning on the local sports radio. They were something along the lines of:

    10 passes defended

    1 interception

    0 forced fumbles

    BTW, those are career stats.

    Not the kind of stats I would expect from a first rounder (and I don't give 2 shits which college he attended).

    That's a hell of a price tag for a special teams guy.
