    Interesting....I wonder if the Bears ever approached the Browns about a trade up for him.

    then probably Thomas at 3 then hooker at 12 unless they were really greedy and wanted 3 first's in next years draft

    Can you imagine the screams from CHI-town had the Bears paid even more to trade up to #1 for Trubs?

    I don't see any reason that Thomas would have altered the rest of our draft.

    Joe Thomas sees ‘fire burning inside’ Myles Garrett to be great
    Posted May 17, 2017 Patrick Maks Staff Writer

    Veteran OL impressed with 1st round pick’s humility, demeanor

    From one first-round pick to another, Joe Thomasicon-article-link.gif has been impressed with Myles Garretticon-article-link.gif, the talented edge rusher from Texas A&M and No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

    But Thomas, a 10-time Pro Bowler and third-overall pick in 2007, didn’t form that impression entirely based on Garrett’s freakish athleticism and potential to be an impact player for years to come. Instead, the veteran lauded the rookie for his humility and desire to earn his keep inside the locker room.

    “I’m just impressed with his demeanor and his willingness to learn, his humbleness, but also you see that fire burning inside him to be great,” Thomas said Tuesday. “And I think those are the hallmarks of guys that have a chance to be really excellent football players.”

    Hey- I liked Trubisky a lot too. 🙂 But, Trubs has as much chance of being on the level of Aaaron Rodgers as Garrett does of becoming the next Deacon Jones. The more I see of Myles, the more I like him.

    LOL, don't forget Ghoolie- Mitch's OC is going to be our fired QB coach Dowell Low-gains. Yup, so bad the Browns fired him. Peter Principle at work there.

    I just hope Kizer doesn't play QB like Kaiser Wilhelm.

  • Joe Thomas spoke just as highly of Mitch in his pre-draft interviews. Joe T. never plays the favorites game. Big difference now is the Freak meets the best LT in the business..this may call for some caramel popcorn..

  • Very interesting demonstration of what Garrett needs to learn from Joe Thomas. They go into the 3 step and 5 step QB drops and what Garrett needs to do to counter the LT moves. I really believe Joe is going to take a great athlete and make an elite DE out of him within the next couple of years. Nothing like the best to teach you the intricacies of the game.

    I agree. I mean it mite have been good for some fans to hear but not me. The guy never even been on a pro field yet and talking smack? Let your play do the talking. Don't go out and say a bunch of bs you mite not be able to back up......

    what Garrett said was "smack talk"? Lemme guess, you don't eat ketchup because it's too spicy.

  • @ghoolie said:

    Just like Joe Thomas was a waste of a pick. If a guy cannot translate into wins IMMEDIATELY................for the worst team in the NFL, that is a wasted pick

    Didn't the Browns go to the playoffs during his rookie year in which he started every game?

    So Ghoolie is already walking his story back? Gotta be a new record time...

    THAT was a great segment... real "pass rush" PhD stuff.

    I thought so too. But it is hard to evaluate that in terms of what Garrett already knows from his college play because so much of the time he is double teamed throughout that last year. Much, much harder to make moves (especially to the inside) when the guard is coming over to take that way from you should you get through the LT's right side.

    However it's also why I believe Ogbah is going to have a stellar year. Because if they keep doubling Garrett, Ogbah & the DT's will shine in one on one's.

  • Pretty sure Danny will have something to say about where the LG's attention goes... 🙂

    In other words expect more TE's to stay in close to the LT. 😉

    I am a little curious if they devote that much attention to a rookie. In college he was so much faster/stronger than the opposition that teams wouldn't risk it until they had him tired out, or they would do rollouts the other way. He won't have quite the same advantage and I would think the Steelers would think he could be contained by being "out-techniqued" at the early stages of his career.

    Also the last time we (Broncos) played the Steelers they went max protection most of the time. We didn't get a lot of pressure on him but our secondary had less routes to cover and a numbers advantage.

    I am curious to see if your secondary will improve quite a bit this year. Any secondary will look like garbage if the opponent can go 4/5 wide and have all day to throw. It can get a little frustrating seeing the qb constantly take the first option / throw away all the time because his clock is sped up, instead of getting sacked. But those are the things that don't show up on the stat sheet that really help your defense when you have elite pass rushers.

    I think we get that question answered very early on. If he shows out quickly against 1st teamers in preseason, then I would expect he gets extra attention from game one. We shall see how well Joe "coaches him up". I think we also get to see if the older pro LT's get extra no call "holds" as he gets around them. That was chronic in the SEC that often allowed him to get tackled by the neck as he went by. Really shitty refs when it comes to that.

  • And it'll take a while for him to "earn" calls in NFL games as well...
