Overall Draft Reaction... your thoughts?
-
Overall, I thought the Browns did well addressing areas of need. I'm disappointed they didn't really add any pass rush, but otherwise did a good job position-wise.
I'm not overly impressed with WHO they drafted at those positions. They seemed to go for character and work ethic (for the most part) over explosiveness and play making.
Favorite pick: Callaway-WR
Could be a MAJOR steal, think Tyreek Hill. Or, vould be the 2nd coming of Josh Gordon... in a not good way. Either way, I like the risk in the 4th round.
Honorable mention: Genard Avery-LB
Finally, a steal. He should contribute quite a bit and was a great depth pick.
Least favorite pick: Chad Thomas-DE
I thought we'd look to upgrade the pass rush with a DE, instead we reached for a potentially good run defender... oh well.
Honorable mention: Baker Mayfield-QB
I don't HATE this pick, but not the guy I thought was best. I REALLY hope he proves me wrong
Others thoughts?

You listed Antonio Callaway right after typing this. Did you even proof read, bruh?

The first five picks, the most important picks, warrant exactly what he said.
After that, they did take some chances on some guys - I trust that Dorsey and co did their homework on these guys,
and decided they were worth taking a chance on.
Like Calloway - a first round talent, troubled off-the-field.
But he has a daughter now. He has been influenced by Antonio Brown - wants to get his life right for his daughter.
For later on draft picks, I can see taking chances on a player if it's warranted. Calloway is very much like Tyreek Hill, who Dorsey
also took a chance on. I'm good with it, as long as it isn't in the first three rounds. So, of course, in the higher rounds, they went for character, etc.

-
Yeah no joke. Dumbassey has shown like his alcoholic and drug addicted draft picks he also has no character or integrity.

Yeah not quite. He took an alcoh9lic Retard #1 overall. That isn't a "high character" player anymore than Callaway or the other drug addled loser he took late in the draft.

No, they don't.
We ignored some off and on field character speed bumps with Mayfield for his 'talent'.
We went for Ward who is both a great talent and has zero character concerns.
Corbett who looks to be a swing T/G with no character concerns and has little to do with explosion and playmaking
Finally, Chad Thomas who is a tweener in that department. He flashes great physical and explosion. Doesn't appear to be a character issue.
The "character over explosion" is an inaccurate and cliche' comment.

I can't say I dislike any of the picks though there are a few I don't know anything about.
I love the Mayfield pick, as well as Chubb, Ward(thought I had to mull that over for a day after) and Calloway. Calloway has had his problems but as a 4th rounder, there is little risk. 4th round receivers wash out all the time. Does it really matter why a player washes out? I don't think so. If he doesn't, we got a top 15 receiver in the 4th round. Well worth the risk IMO
I really like the Corbett pick. The scouts love the guy...not just our scouts...and call him NFL ready. Add in he can play anywhere, all the better. Avery is another i really like. I think he will be a heck of a backer.
-
Or we could just like, NOT take low character trash period and stop trying to be like the Bungles.
-
Or we can take calculated risk to gain a 1st round talent in the 4th round.
4th round receivers wash out all the time. Does it really matter why?
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Callaway 5'11" ran a 4.41 40, BJ 121.0 in. and Vert. 34.0 in.
Ratley 6'2" ran 4.39 40, BJ 124.0 in. and Vert 38 in.
Those are serious numbers for our two WR takes in the draft. Dorsey likes speed and ability to go after the ball. You sure can't sneeze at 4.4 speed.

I wonder how they compare to Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman's numbers when they were drafted?

For me Walter Football has always been a joke. They've reinforced that here by calling the Browns draft "homoclitic" and claiming that it should have been "heteroclitic" instead. JFC -You're writing for football fans, not high school kids studying for the SATs. Know your audience!

I always keep in the back of my mind when I read anything these sports writers are paid to meet deadlines, beat the other guys on topics, sometimes just to be contriversional not necessarily correct.
It keeps the very crowded sports reporting world full of opinions!
.......edit add, oh there are a few I do like.

Honest opinion..So much evaluation time was spent on the QB parade coming & going ending up back again at Berea. That the firm of Wolfe & Highsmith sole job was to have 3 players names ready per round starting in round 4.Dorsey than had his own visited troubled list to project to those players chosen by W&H . A)Baker became my #1 after all prodays..At the visiting period, Baker is the only QB I could see "Wanting to 'really' Win in Cleveland" like Dorsey motivates. Far more than Rosen or Darnolds bland energy of interviewing that I picture.Took Baker in pick 6. B)Ward became my #4 pick as posted in Barkley at 1 overall topic. Seen every B.Chubb game. Position gap at CB #1 far larger than Chubb Vs. Ogbah. C)RB N.Chubb became my #2 of RB class after comparing his combine numbers to Barkley. N. Chubb surpassed Sony Michel as my #1 Rb after posting RB class fumble ratios//With pick #33 my hopes were, getting up to #18 with Seattle to go get big Mike McGlinchy. Giving Shaq Griffin to Seattle at #33. Well Big Mike went #9 to 49'ers..no chance..So to whom ever this Austin Corbett is to become..Try being better than Mike McGlinchy..

On calloway- this guy isn't your typical 'character' problem guy. By most accounts he is a BAD APPLE. I follow sec football pretty closely, and I cant recall
many players who have his sorts of character issues. He isn't the kind of player who gets caught up in the wrong crowd; he IS the wrong crowd.

Another group of picks being coached by the worst head coach of all time. What could go wrong?
"And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."
