Senior Bowl Week Notes...

The Browns Board

  • TE Mike Gesicki from Penn State has been balling this week. Not that we’re in the market for a TE early, but this guy is a stud

    1. Seems weird that the organizers loaded up the Denver coached North Team with QBs so the Bronco Staff could get a close look at them.

    Uhum....doesn't each squad get the same number of players at each position? Your statement sounds like they are giving the North 5-6 QBs while only giving 1-2 to the South. 

    Or...are you saying that it seems that the North is getting more of the "highly rated" QBs...and that the South is getting the end of the drafters.

  • Here's some practice footage of Allen and Mayfield.

    Not being able to tackle takes away a lot.

    1. Yes..
    2. Therefore it's clearly #2.

    He'll kill it at the combine in the vertical- he was a HS dunk champion.

    Savage did Denver a huge favor loading them up with the top QB prospects, since they're in the market. Elway specifically requested Mayfield. Add in Josh Allen, Luke Falk, and they would have gotten your guy Mason Rudolph too- if he hadn't been hurt.

    Looking forward to this guy

    Yeah- I'm not really feeling the Saquon Barkley love- especially not @ #1 overall. Saw a stat on Walter Football that 21% of his carries were for negative yardage. Ditto the Josh Allen #1 overall by Mel. He's got an Elway arm with Kizer accuracy. 

    Got a feeling there will be near rioting if we don't use one of the first round picks on a QB. Darnold or Mayfield.

    Yes the popular opinion squad that think they actually own, run and coach all NFL teams will have a collective hissy fit and go online and write all kinds of junk demanding change......who knows maybe they'll have another parade! 

    Back to reality who's #1 and 4, a classic opportunity for the BROWNS to make a bold statement!  (I hope they don't knuckle under.)

    You know I'm kidding about the rioting- like us fans have any say in the matter. I think with Jimmuh's comment when he introduced Dorsey- getting a franchise qb is Job #1.

    @the-gipper said:

    For starters Elway "requested" that Mayfield be assigned to the DNV staff's squad.

    Who did the other team get?

    And Rudolph isn't really "my guy"....I simply reported that a particular scouting service had him ranked as the best QB prospect.  And still does.  But some other arrogant cokwads seemed to take personal affront that some professional scouting service would disagree with their amateur opinions.  I pointed out that he is in the mix it seems to be highly drafted...and to potentially be one of the actual better QBs coming out of this group. I also pointed out that he has the big red flag "Big 12 QB"  spray painted prominently on his back.

  • ... and you've been waffling ever since you nearly took a stand.

  • I've mentioned him before, but another player to watch is "Horrible Harry" Harrison Phillips from Stanford. One of the leading tacklers in the Pac 12. Supposedly he is strong enough where he wants to set the BP record in the combine. 

  • ... and you've been waffling ever since you nearly took a stand.

     Yeah because I don't see that any of these guys are all that and a bag of chips it's called being smart

    OK, I understand you were quoting an ancient history mock draft on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. He's currently nowhere to be seen on a bunch of other "professional scouting service" mocks in the first round.  🙂  

    The South QBs, and dig deep Gip. 

    Brandon Silvers, Troy

    Kurt Benkert, Virginia  (Tour has had his eyes on him for a while) 

    Mike White, Western Kentucky (put him in the dark horse thread, he looked decent Thursday)

    Kyle Lauletta, Richmond (I have to say who?) 

    BTW, the South has Rashaad Penny SD State, led DI in rushing... tune in this afternoon...   

  • Gipper thinks Rudolph is the best QB in the draft?  Wow.  That's bold.

  • Thoughts through the first two days of practice.

    1. Seems weird that the organizers loaded up the Denver coached North Team with QBs so the Bronco Staff could get a close look at them.
    2. Outside of the QB group this year's roster feels less talented than last year's.
    3. Outside of QBs the strength of the the rosters seems to be in the interior OL and DL. Should see some real battles here.
    4. Edge rushers seem to have a significant edge over their OT opposites.
    5. Ditto for WR over DBs
    6. Little feel as yet for the RBs and LBs in attendance.

    Players who look to be making money this week:

    • RB
    • WR: Michael Gallop (Col St.); Justin Watson (Penn)
    • TE
    • OT
    • OG: Will Hernandez (UTEP);
    • OC: Isaiah Wynn (UGA);
    • DT: Justin Jones (NC St.); BJ Hill (NC St.)
    • Edge: Marcus Davenport (UTSA); Uchenna Nwosu (USC)
    • ILB: Tre' Williams (AUB);
    • CB: Kameron Kelly (SDSU);
    • S
