    It wouldn't shock me if the Browns traded down out of the #4 spot, but that seems like quite the trade down. 

    Hey Dutch are you still thinking about a draft questions list?

    Pick no, player, team in R1? This might be fun!

    Yeah, I might still do one. I'll try to think of some questions, see if it works...

    First time in a decade or so I didn't do a Tribe one... Doesn't seem like there's an interest on this board for it.

    oh excuse me my bad I meant the Browns trading back up into the first round for the Seahawks pick

    Oh yes, you are right... I forgot about that rumor.

    I could definitely see the Browns packaging a couple 2nd rounders to move back into the 1st too... 

    The only thing that would surprise me is if they just sit and take five guys at the five spots they are at today in Rounds 1 and 2. 

  • Brought this to our Board last year and some folks found it to be of interest. Same as last year it's authored by one of the r/browns mainstays, VonJeager.

    Here's the text of his latest update...

    =======================================================================================================================

    A lot of meetings and visits and pro days have occurred since I last updated, so there's going to be about thirty or forty new names, and about forty new schools visited on there. Note that the "Private" column represents either a private workout, private meeting, local Pro Day, or a visit to Berea, just to condense the chart - and all of those indicate specific individual interest.

    Observations:

    • They're obviously narrowing down on the QBs. It's fairly obvious that they're going to take one high, but I wouldn't totally exclude the possibility that they add a second one later on in the draft. They've done the most work on Josh Allen out of any QB, with either Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield coming in after that, depending on how much interaction they had with Baker at the Senior Bowl (which I don't believe was much, if any).

    • RB has been one of their most active positions, and they've got interest all over the board. Noteworthy, perhaps, that they've been in contact with a couple of later round guys since signing Carlos Hyde in John Kelly, Nyheim Hines, and Martez Carter.

    • WR is another active position, with again guys up and down the board. They've shown a lot of interest in late round guys like Jeff Badet, Damion Ratley, and Montrel Meander - noteworthy that all three of those guys are good athletes and good top end speed. They privately worked out Badet in Norman, while Ratley was brought in for a visit.

    • Almost all of their offensive line work, at least from what I can track down, has been on tackles. I haven't been able to find private workouts for tackles, but being that they've put a fair amount of mileage on seeing some of these guys and talking to them, OT looks to be a position that's on the board.

    • A lot more defensive line work since last time this was updated, at least inside. I'm sure they've shown more interest in edge rushers, but thus far, it hasn't been much. Maurice Hurst and Vita Vea are coming in for visits, which I guess is noteworthy due to where they're expected to fall in the draft. Beyond that, Nathan Shepherd is really the only other name to note of the DTs in terms of draft position.

    • Most of their linebackers they've talked to have been later round prospects. I don't think there's much a priority here at the position early on, just from what we can glean from who they've talked to. They're working out Shaheed Salmon privately.

    • John Dorsey loves his late round DBs, and that's exactly what we're seeing here. Interestingly, I've not seen a ton of noise on high round CBs, but that might change as more visit news comes in. Denzel Ward and Malik Duncan are supposedly going to be at Cleveland's local Pro Day, while the Browns are bringing in late round guys Tremon Smith, Arrion Springs, and A.J. Howard for visits and workouts.

    • Christian Kapp (Kicker), of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, worked out at Wagner College's Pro Day, and Cleveland spent a bit of time with him.

    • As of right now, a lot of focus for day one talents have been at QB, RB, DT, and CB. Day two featuring more RB, WR, LB, S. Day three prospects featuring a lot of WR, DT, LB, and CB.

    Overall, I expect more bigger names to pop up as visits become more public, as usually those sorts of things happen up until about a week-and-a-half to two weeks prior to the draft, so within the next two-and-a-half weeks should be when we kinda have a mostly solid idea of who they brought in, which is probably the strongest indicator of interest, just due to limited number of times they can do so.

    when your 0-16, it's the longest offseason ever..

    I dunno. When your 1-15 only because of a missed FG, that off-season seemed longer somehow. This one at least held promise of a lot of better positioned draft picks.

  • Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson visiting this week according to Ian Rappaport

    Despite all the noise I don’t think the Browns have decided on their pick at #1 yet at all.

    Isn't that the truth, I hope they're #10 maybe #16 next year and not "on the clock".
