Are you disappointed and why?

The Browns Board

  • I am thinking this Browns draft would be graded like this by lots of pundits ...... Browns drafting these players C+ if the same players were drafted by the Patriots A+

  • Im less disappointed today, than I was yesterday.....which is now 2 days in a row....trending?

    When I got out of bed today, I think I actually felt a twinge of optimism.....(of was it the rheumatism?)

    Nice...hey none of us know, we're all hoping for the best. But the admission by you of feeling better about the draft makes me feel better about it too.

    I was in Vegas, pissed when they traded #12, but now I'm ok with it.

    I am the worst draft analyst. I'll take the easy way out and give a "C," because they need to get out there and hit somebody.

    A tandem strip-sack of Big Ben by Garret & Peppers Sept 10 yields an immediate A+ from me.

    I really wanted Mahomes, hoping Kizer solves things. I stick with Kessler for now though, even Brock. If Kizer has "it," don't rush him.

    I was furious with the trade at 12....but am over it now.....seems to have worked out well in the end, I think....

    Would you by chance know what the payout for a Garrett/Trade-down Exacta was?

  • I rate this an A- trending up to A+ if one of either Kizer or Peppers become standouts

    We were all furious with the trade, as evidenced by the FU's being shouted at the draft party and the mass exodus as soon as it happened. But like you said I'm ok with it now as we still ended up with a safety and another first round pick to use on LB's and DB's next year. That is assuming we don't need Darnold or Rosen.

  • My vote on this topic is tossed out..Stood with a record attendance number at a Draft of 250 thousand in 3 days. A great football weekend with some great fans of a lot of teams. A lot of players walked with family's just being a football fan. Our Teams name was brought up in so many ways "as getting things finally turned around" My response "The names on Paper only count if Browns are winning. Believe me..You will hear All About Us Then"... Woof WooF!!

    Sorry, no. I was at South Point casino, and was looking for odds on SB, division, conference titles, etc. Over/under season wins weren't posted yet.

    I wasn't even looking for those kind of bets, but I'm sure they were there.

  • The 1st 3 or 4 players matter. They should be blue-chips. We traded away blue-chips for value?

    If any of the later rounds produce a player that's gravy. I will hope but Not expect that.

    Remember you can find good blurbs on any player through the end of round seven.

  • Despise the Peppers pick and praying coach Williams can perform a miracle turn around.

    Not overly happy with the trade up to 29. I don't believe the Steelers would have taken a TE.

    That being said, overall, I'm quite happy with the way the FO went about their business and picks.

    is it more about the player being there or more about the 5th year option that I believe you lose in the 2nd round?

    When you move up like that it's more about the player being there.

    I like peppers and hope The old Gerbil works out. His grade, however, is all-over the board. I do worry we gave up a blue-chip in Hooker for a chance.

    The smoke in philly was we got in front of Pitts. to take Kizer @29 for the 5th year option?(not on TV?) my first thought was. no way, we'd pay anybody at anytime when we find a QB in Cleveland. It really seemed like after Kizer got past Pitt. at 30. Peterman was Steelers guy? Guess FO thought differently

  • Overall disappointed. Love the Garrett pick but didn't like anything after that. Thought there was enough talent at #12 that they could've added a second stud. Peppers is an unknown but it already sounds like they are going to try to fit him in 3 different roles. Njokewho again is a big question mark that they traded up to get. After we hear Slushy talk about filling numerous holes in the roster he takes two "projects" in the first round. A bit hypocritical to me. Again you truly can evaluate a draft until 2-3 years down the road which is good for the Browns since it appears that with the signing of Collins and the 2017 draft Ogbah and Nassib were wastes.

  • In what way was the drafting of Ogbah (2nd round) and Nassib (3rd round) a waste? Ogbah was making plays (even out of position) and Nassib was good for the first two games until he hurt his hand which hampered his development. He was also playing out of position. They are 4.3 Defensive ends trying to play linebacker in a 3.4. They both showed promise. Ndjoku was the second best tight end in the draft and has the most upside of any TE, said by almost every analyst considering he is only 20 years old!! Collins was hands down the best player on the defense when he came over last year and they only gave up a 3rd round compensatory pick for him. I will give you pepper's value is a little all over the board but he's exactly the type of high risk/reward player you take with your 2nd first round pick. If at worst he sucks at SS, his special teams abilities are elite. Bacon, you have the Jimmy Haslam effect going on where if it isn't fixed immediately it's a failure. I compare your thought process to the cubs fans in year 2 of the Theo era who were up in arms because he wouldn't sign high priced free agents, even after he explicitly told everyone what he was doing. How did that work out? Very few rookies ever make real impacts, including qb's (manning and luck sucked ass their first year). This regime has made it abundantly clear they are going to take talented players and need time to develop a roster. Give a team a chance before you call picks a waste.
