    Other than QB, I don't think we should draft to cover positions.

    It will work out early on that we can draft good players and still cover some positions.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

      It is one of the reasons that Chubb is still a potential candidate.  One could say that the Browns have the DE position covered....and that they should go elsewhere.....but getting another superior talent at a position that may already be considered a strength can be considered a way to make that particular unit totally dominant. 

      One thing the Browns could use is complete dominance at one unit,  be it RB, WR, OL, DL, LBs, DBs.   

      I guess a similar argument could be made for taking Barkley.   (though I joke about him being a cheerleader whose best skills are with pom poms...that is just to get the goat of the Barkley Drool Crew).   If he is the talent people think he is...and you join him with Duke and Hyde....then you should, by all rights, have a totally dominant run game/pass catching out of the backfield game.   The difference is that with DE/DL...you can have all your "stars"  have impact on the same play potentially...where on the offense, only one guy gets to carry/catch the ball on a play.  It is never bad to be overloaded with weaponry....but it is a fact that only one guy has the ball at a time. ...as opposed to defense.

          I think they should prioritize in this order, based on need and strength of the draft class:

          QB --> S --> CB --> DT --> OT

          [all are very close after QB]

          Everything else is BPA/planning for departures next offseason.

            CB is definitely above S after offseason movement.

              QB--8 interviewed--5 in Berea

              OT--5 interviewed--2 in Berea

              CB--13! interviewed--5 in Berea

              WR--9 interviewed--2 in Berea

              DE--2 interviewed--0 in Berea

              S--5 interviewed--0 in Berea

              These^^ are Media reported contacts only.. Will add we met with 2 TE's & 1 FS. Neither in Berea. May mean absolutely nothing with Dorsey dealing the cards. But our positions of need may see the higher numbers, but looking at multiple round targets? At QB, looking like we stayed focused on the top of the crop..(just get it right 🙂.. please)

                Am I the only one that thinks Safety is NOT a need this year?

                We've got two first rounders back there, Randall is under contract for two more years, Peppers for four more.

                Kindred is a good backup, Nacua and Currie are good special teams types that can fight for the roster ... Why do we need a safety on the first day again?

                  I guess I did not realize that Randall was originally a first round draft pick.  And I may tend to agree with you and say the Cornerback is a bigger need....given that I don't think much at all of Jamar Taylor.....who was burned constantly by the likes of A. Brown and AJ Green....and just about everyone else.

                  We got Terrence Mitchell and  Travis Carrie.....but what are they?   Otherwise we have Boddy-Calhoun....perhaps at best a decent backup.  Yep....Corner is a big need.....ergo.....should we be surprised if the Browns took like Denzel Ward.....or the like?

                    All correct points, safety isn't a need

                      We've got EJ Gaines as well, one year contract I believe. And last year's pick, Wilson.

                      I think Carrie is the only one they see as a starter in 2019, so yes, a position of need.

                        Well.....we also still have the (arguably)  GOAT back there:   Michael Jordan.  Listed at 3rd string on the depth chart at LCB.

                          Truth is we don't know, but the possibility of being set at Safety, does depress the perceived need.
