    Guilty here as well... Love my DVR!

    But just not going to be the same this year without Mayock talking about "bubblebutts"...

    ? I love me some Underwear Olympics too!   Mayock, and his sense of humor, will definitely be missed.  1 year they kept showing his interception of Dan Marino.  To the best of my memory, an annoyed but poised Marino responded with "Hey Mike, do you have keep showing your only INT?"   Mayock was like "I have no control over it Dan; but I certainly appreciate the ability to relive a fond memory as many times as they will allow me to."

    I like the NCAA womens springboard and high diving championships.

    Yes, seriously.   Why should we care about potential Texas A&M prospects any more than Texas prospects, or Texas Tech prospects, or Texas Christian prospects....or, you name the school.

    Give us a list of the priority needs of the Browns, and which prospects may fit those needs who may be available when the Browns pick, regardless of college.

    Hell...for all I know there may be a couple of Akron U players that could be draftable prospects.  Maybe we should highlight them.

    It's background on prospects for the NFL draft that we may or may not draft. If someone has Insight on players that could fill a need for the Browns because they have watched them their whole career why would we not welcome more information about said players. He doesn't know every single  player that's going to be drafted and when  and their strengths and weaknesses but from watching  those guys he gave us his scouting report. What is wrong with that. The Browns certainly aren't looking at quarterback at least in the first round and you have given breakdowns and Dwayne Haskins in a thread or two. I fail to see the difference. If there are players from Akron that you think that posters here should look into because you think they could fill a need to feel free to give as much information as you can.

    Edit also you said this in a post I just saw 

    "I say we get good/better everywhere we can....no matter the position.   If say, a CB is clearly the best player available in the draft, then you take one over what you consider a lesser talent at a position of greater need.   But all things being equal talentwise, you take the place of need."

    So who is to say one of those 3 guys won't be bpa at one of our picks

    But don't you know, someone's "rules" only apply to others, not them. They are a genius, who has to make a point, while trying to embarrass others.

    But what I really took from it was that it was A&M players being talked about, and who should care about them.

  • @texasag1969 said:

    3 best Aggies this year listed by best for Browns first. All are coming out a year early.

    Eric McCoy - Center - I think he is going to be a very good pro center for some lucky team. Or even a G since he has excellent pulling skills. The one A&M player I think could contribute to the Browns the most if we could pick him up around the 3rd rd.

    Jace Sternberger  - TE  - He will be very similar to our own 3rd year TE Njoku but better hands to start out his rookie season. (I liked Njoku's progress this year in that area).

    Trey Williams  RB - Leading SEC rusher in 2018 and broke all time A&M single season rushing record - great vision and follows his blocking very well - quick through any crease and very decent after contact yards. Good hands. Very similar to our own 3rd down RB Johnson. The write up on him in the article above is very outdated. Major jump from 2017 to 2018 under far better coaching. Less than 1000 yds R/R in 2017 to over 2000 this year.

    Why should we care until and unless we draft them?

    Last year it was a little different Gip.. We needed a quarterback- badly. And we picked #1 and #4. So yeah, I watched the Combine- especially the QBs, and all their pro days too.  So what did I say about Josh Allen based on his game tape and pro day? Huh?  

    @the-gipper said:

    Garret was the projected #1 pick in the draft.  The Browns had the #1 pick in the draft.....so certainly we cared about him for that reason.

    Where do these other guys project?  Any of them in the mix for the #17 pick?  That would be the only reason to single them out.

    That's the difference this year. No player is going to impact the W\L as much as the quarterback.  16 teams picking ahead of us- so much harder to say what's going to happen. A guy we may want could be off the board. Count me not quite as interested. BTW, several DL from Clemson, as well as other guys rated with good pass rush skills could be on our radar. We'll certainly look at CBs, and maybe a few WRs too. O-line depth.

    Did you give a so what, we have Tretter at center? And if he gets hurt?  Right now they have Kyle Kalis listed as his backup. Ever heard of him before?  Maybe, can Corbet play center?  See what I mean?  So we can't be looking at just one guy at a given position.

    I agree.  Many more players are on the table, and it's a message board.  Gip's a buddy, but he doesn't decide what to talk about and and what not to talk about.  

    My theory is if the topic interests you, join in...if not move on to another topic.  I don't comment on every thread in this forum, mostly because all don't interest me.

    Again, Gip, you are a solid in my book.

    I was really just ragging on Tex because he was being an Aggie Faggie. It was done far more for that reason than anything else. Was just a little jovial banter

    Well just remember the name Kenyon Green in the 2022 Draft. If he stays healthy he will be the best OT ever to play for Maroon & White.?

    Jesus, your obsession over Rosen is downright stalkerish. 

  • It was a joke. Bringing up Allen, wouldn't you claim the same about hoorta?

    Neither one did well in their rookie years. I made fun of myself over that.

    Speaking of stalkerish, your repeated belligerence towards me, go look in a mirror.

  • My eyes for us at 17 are on greedy williams (CB) Byron Murphy (CB) Dexter Lawrence (dt) ed Oliver (dt) montez sweat (de) rashan Gary (de) Devin white (lb). All of those guys are in the top five at their position by most Scouts but only greedy Williams Byron Murphy top two corners and Devin White top linebacker are at the top of the list the other 4 are all in the range of 3rd to 5th best at their position (on average ranking). I don't see any way possible that there isn't a very good defensive player on the board for us when we pick a 17 like others have suggested.

    I said I was worried about his concussions and other injuries... take those away, I was on board, didn't care about the personality issues. Like someone else here did. Josh survived the majority of an NFL season without further serious damage, so it remains to be seen. 

    Too early to write any of the 2018 QB class off as busts, but for sure Baker had the best season of all of them.... 

  • Baker was a BRILLIANT pick alright. He probably didn't surprise Dorsey, but a lot of folks

    didn't know Baker was going to already have a place at the HOF.

    Just amazing. Baker surprised me on the news the other evening:

  • I still think this draft class (compared to next season) is going to be to hard to pass on for Dorsey's likings at Tackle position.The scouting rules of most NFL LT's arm lenght is 34" inches.larger wingspans combining good feet balance & base .some monsters & surprises.. https://walterfootball.com/combine/weighin/OL (sorry, but walt needs to fix his pop-ups)    

  • What's is name:  Kyler Murray,  is supposed to undergo all those measurements this morning.

    Height, weight, arm length, hand size.

    They say he could compare to Russell Wilson....but I don't think so.

    Wilson was 5'10  3/4ths.    If Murray breaks 5'9 I may be surprised.

    Wilson weighed  205.   Unless Murray does a major carbo load, he could be under 190.

    Wilson's hands were huge.  10" 1/2 inches.  At 6'2"  my own hands do not reach 10 inches.   I do think that Murray could have decent hand size, the way he is able to handle and throw the ball...but not  10.5 or anywhere near.

    Of course, in theory....it is still optional if Murray wants to undergo these measurements.  He could decline.

  • Kyler Murray was 5'10, 207 with 9.5" hands. 

  • I'm so glad that this year we're not the ones trying to chase Baker's success by talking ourselves into drafting his Billy Barty like collegiate replacement.

    A lot of people on this board were saying much the same about Baker last year.

    Time will tell if Murray will be good or not.
