    No explanation needed. The draft seems so far away and I actually have the time to invest in tape this year. 

    First on deck is a bigger bodied kid who flashed a couple times in the Sugar Bowl.  Late rounder who might slowly work his way up.  Not a huge fan on how Baylor uses him, he isn't that mammoth 0, 2gapping nose.  I see a plus sized,1 gap plugger (where he flashed) who becomes invaluable in rotation.   Still needs work but I see the tools.  This team needs DI's to help limit the running game. I'm starting here.

    It looks like he has good hands and punch.  

    At 1:00 minute he was single blocked put on roller skates and taken out the play on the TD.  And then next play he blows up a double team with great quickness and then Runs over a back.

    Double teaming this tank was the best move Kirby Smart did in Georgia game also.took about under 1 quarter. Kid's motor never stalled though. Honestly. even with both starting Georgia tackles sitting & doubling #99..Georgia's TE's RB's OL blocked anything that moved... Edit- I also like your thought of finding a tall redzone target WR3.. Including myself, it went as a madding miss all season 

  • Alex Taylor, OT, South Carolina. Would be around 4th/5th round gem ?

    or, if he wows scouts at the Senior Bowl and combine... creeps into the late third round?

    He's 6'9", 310 lbs. But he moves amazingly well - and is powerful.

    Doesn't fit the "he's six-nine, has trouble with leverage, and quickness" mold.

    He's a terrific kid, too.

    Can't wait to see him play in the Senior Bowl, Sat. Jan 25th.

    Diamond Talk: Alex Taylor, OT, South Carolina State University | An Athletic Monster of a Man

  • Keeping a complete open mind, so thanks for the suggestions.   I would have liked to have seen either Chase Young or Jeff Okudah, a couple of Buckeyes (because that is really the only team I have "kept my eye on"   this college football season)   but neither of them will be there at  10.  

    If Okudah, for some reason,  dropped to #10...it would be manna from heaven. 

    There are a couple of safeties perhaps in the mix:  Delpit of LSU, and  Simmons of Clemson

    For  DL:   Derrick Brown Auburn? 

    And how about this name:      Lamar Jackson      DB Nebraska...for 2d round pick.

  • What am i seriously missing on this Delpit safety from LSU?...

    I continue to see McKinney from Bama out play this kid, weekly..

    Even re-watched the Sooner game and the guy Delpit seemed to shy away from contact all game long..

    this browns defensive team seriously misses some angry, crazed. jacked up, lumber layers...and am still looking? 

  • Is this thread  titled  "Who you watching"  or "You watching  the Who"   Always liked watching The Who.

    I don't know....I was only going by scouting reports, not by my watching of the games.  I do hear that McKinny may be moving up.  Also, this other CB from Ohio State, Shaun Wade.

  • WR Quintez Cephus, Wisconsin.

    The kid gave Ohio State tons of trouble in the Big Ten Championship.

    Yep him too.  But Has he declared?

    i mentioned yesterday I believe He has some Landry in him- competitor makes the tough catches looks like a good route runner.

    Wade will announce tomorrow and there are a few insiders that believe he will stay.

    Ah, he's a junior, not a senior. I guess I'll have to wait and see if he declares.

  • Correct me if am wrong? but This draft seems heavy on depth at WR/IDL/OT/QB/DE & maybe CB...LB'er & any Safety F or S maybe a reach?

    I'll place this here for FA picture, but it's way to early, but some may see a rise in $tock because of it..

  • Since DT is not our highest priority here is the obligatory Aggie for round 3 or 4. Anchor of the defensive team did not play in the Teas Bowl (declared early and passed) was a RS Jr. this year. Rated by most services in the low 70's overall draft pick is Justin Madubuike primarily a  3-tec DT. Originally recruited as a very fast ILB added 50 lbs and moved to DT where he had 11 sacks his two starting years.

  • One thing I like to think about with draft is where there will be a “glut” of talent at a position that simply won’t get drafted where they should.

    this year to me is WR. The three dudes from Alabama could all easily be 1st round picks. Jefferson from LSU is a monster. Perhaps someone like Tee Higgins could slip and easily has a first round grade. The WR core at USC is also exceptional. I think there’s gonna be a steal in the 3rd round or so, and we have a hole in the 3rd/4th WR slot.

    And let's be honest, how long do we see both Landry and OBJ staying on the roster, especially considering how much money they both make and the big contracts coming up for guys still on their rookie deals? 

    In today's football, you are only a season away from a strength position turning into a depleted position.

    Dutch, you hit the nail on the head!

  • Would be totally satisfied if the Browns could move OBJ to a team like the 49ers for a first or second round pick. This team doesn’t need his Diva attitude and would send a message to let the team know the bull shit won’t be tolerated

    Yep enter guys like Nico Collins and Quintez Cephus.  

  • Just to be upfront about Cephus - he was suspended from Wisconsin while he was on trial for sexual assault. He was acquitted. 

  • I watch a lot of Big Ten games throughout the year.
    Nico Collins WR Michigan.  Been on the radar since OSU-UM game 2018.  6-4” played boundary and slot performed through shaky QB play. Makes tough catches and looks like he’s a good athlete despite 6-4 220 frame.  
     

    Malik Harrison LB OSU not the typical highly rated OSU recruit Cbus kid.  But developed the last two years.  Instinctive. Not a great athlete but makes plays behind the line of scrimmage and in coverage.  Played the role of eraser especially last season making up for assignment mistakes of fellow players. Later round steal. 
     

    Zack Baun Edge Wisconsin.  Perhaps TJ Watt Part 2.  Complete player.  Find a place for him no matter the scheme.  He’s probably going first round especially if he tests well

    All 3 fine players.   Nico obviously drew my (very drunk) attention when he was catching contested passes over a quality Buckeye secondary.

    Malik sadly spent a good portion of his career being coached by Bill Davis.   Probably one of the worst position coaches in football.  I still have no idea how that man has a job.   But I like where your head is at here.  

    As for Baun, I can't really say I've paid much attention.   But Jimmy Leonard is a heck of coordinator and possible future head coach, so anybody on his defensive is going to be the type of player you want on your team.

    I've wondered the same.  I remember tuning in a couple times last year and seeing him jump off screen.  Haven't seen that same type of play when I've had the chance to watch him in 2019.

    Wade back to OSU.  Obviously great for OSU.
