    Decided to play this one straight with no trades. 

    Your Picks:
    Round 1 Pick 1: Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA (A)
    Round 1 Pick 4: Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB/FS, Alabama (A)
    Round 2 Pick 1: Isaiah Oliver, CB, Colorado (B+ )
    Round 2 Pick 3: James Washington, WR, Oklahoma State (A-)
    Round 2 Pick 30: Anthony Miller, WR, Memphis (A)
    Round 3 Pick 1: Kerryon Johnson, RB, Auburn (B 
    Round 4 Pick 1: Derrick Nnadi, DT, Florida State (A+)
    Round 4 Pick 24: Jeff Holland, OLB, Auburn (A+)
    Round 5 Pick 1: Royce Freeman, RB, Oregon (A+)
    Round 5 Pick 22: Brian O'Neill, OT, Pittsburgh (A+)
    Round 6 Pick 1: Azeem Victor, ILB, Washington (A+)
    Round 7 Pick 1: Kurt Benkert, QB, Virginia (A)

    Dear Browns, just do this. Retooled secondary including Fitzpatrick who can be a day one contributor at multiple positions. Retooled receiving corps with an outside deep threat and a burner in the slot. Most importantly however, the QB position is finally solved with the most pro ready prospect on the board and a great value project player. Sprinkle in some value picks for the o line and defensive depth and there ya go. 10-6 and a first round victory over the bungles who haven’t won a playoff game since the early 90s. 

    I bolded the agreed upon selections. 

    Suggestions- 

    1- Barkley

    4- Mayfield

    Note- It sucks that the Eagles kept winning. That 2nd has quickly became a sub-3rd rounder. It's almost like having 2 firsts, 2 seconds and 2 thirds now.

    Sometimes it works great like the #4 pick sometime it doesn't, eh? The Eagles are one win now from the last pick.

  • Is Marcus Allen comparable to Minkah Fitzpatrick?

    They both have two legs and two arms. One will be drafted in the top 5 overall, the other maybe by the 6-7th round. I predict Bama's other safety will go several rounds before Allen.

    I have Marcus Allen early to mid second round. 

  • Your Picks:
    Round 1 Pick 1: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State - Franchise runner, defensive nightmare, unstoppable unless he wants to be- and then it's on a dime.
    Round 1 Pick 4: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma - One of the most electric and successful college QB I've seen since Kevin Hogan, playmaker that gets it to playmakers. Accurate.
    Round 2 Pick 1: Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame - A true to life #2 WR with #1 potential. A great kid with amazing hands. Huge frame like Gordon. Faster than fast.
    Round 2 Pick 3: Billy Price, C/OG, Ohio State - An absolute monster, plugging Price into the C spot makes the OL a running game machine. Brains AND Brawn. 
    Round 2 Pick 31: Duke Dawson, CB, Florida - Scrappy azz all get out. Duke Dawson? C'mon, that name though, can't be a coincidence 😉 
    Round 3 Pick 1: Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia - Yeah, I know we have Barkley, but he's the best player on the board and we can use him to get the dirty yards(don't ding the lamborgini)
    Round 4 Pick 1: Simmie Cobbs Jr., WR, Indiana - Yeah we got our Saint earlier but too much talent here, gonna need a lot of bodies because the offensive yards are going to kill. 
    Round 4 Pick 23: Holton Hill, CB, Texas - Hill is a mountain. 6-3 corner with 4.5 speed- could come in very handy covering these bigger WRs and TEs. 
    Round 5 Pick 1: Daniel Carlson, K, Auburn - Gonzo needs competition and Carlson is a great kicker and a good kid. May the best man kick.
    Round 5 Pick 22: Nyheim Hines, RB, North Carolina State - ANOTHER RB? Yes, with Crow gone we'll have RBs- Barkley/Johnson/Chubb and Hines. Never seen a stable like this.
    Round 6 Pick 1: Dimitri Flowers, FB, Oklahoma - Baker Mayfield's swiss army knife. 
    Round 7 Pick 1: Kentavius Street, DT, North Carolina State - Just an absolute monster next to Shelton on the DL.

    The good new is all these guys can flex out to WR and can catch... and get Yac. So you could have 3 backs in the backfield and they could ALL shift out to WR and Become a 5 WR set without a hitch. 

    If we can stay on the field and convert 3rd down and shorts all game, we're going to need a lot of runners. The other teams D better get their cardio up lol

  • We've been bad for so long that we start to look at the numbers. Of course the numbers say we're bad, we're playing bad. Plugging in someone with good numbers is not going to make us better, it's going to make that players good numbers look bad. Forget the numbers. Play better and fix the numbers. We need to get our piss and vinegar back.

    Good luck on that. Bama's Safety Harrison might go about there. Not Allen. I'll go with early 6th as my guess.

    Barkley at #1 is nuts.  Not only  because he's not a qb,  but because he's not that good. 

    I've never seen elite so called "best player in the draft" get shut down so consistently. 

    We'll find out soon enough I guess.

    Mark-now he's trying to pass off the safety from PSU, Marcus Allen.  Bad enough we hear about Allen the QB, now he wants us to take a 6th round safety much higher.
