Trent William's for a 3rd round pick...?
-
So just draft 7 lineman
sure why not you could always trade away some later
-
“Loaded” I would say good depth for sure.
Wirfs is being doubted at tackle. Wills played RT granted he protected a left handed QB but he’d change sides here anyway, Thomas okay, Jones is a good prospect, Becton I don’t see it. You have some intriguing guys down the line that I would say this is class loaded with depth.
But i don’t see a Joe Thomas or even Joe Thomas lite. Granted we may never see that again but we have a top 10 pick and supposedly there will be tackles off the board when we come to 10.
maybe we see a Dbrickashaw/Jake Long emerge 3/4 time probowler out of this group. I think it’s more likely we see a 2/3/4 round tackle play well enough to be a multi year probowler.
Wirfs, Wills, Becton, Thomas, Josh Jones and Ezra Cleveland are all likely to go in the 1st round, 4 of them in top 10. Do you recall another draft this stacked with LTs? I don't. Not even close. Cleveland is in position to grab a Thomas, who is real good.

I have seen no one rate Ezra as a first rounder.....not saying it isn't possible....just haven't seen him being rated that high or mocked to go that high.

Redskins OT Trent Williams: 7 reasons the Browns should trade for him
1. They’d be getting the closest thing to Joe Thomas
2. Browns OL coach Bill Callahan knows and likes him
3. The trade compensation might be reasonable
4. The leadership is invaluable
5. He’s healthy
6. A Williams trade could facilitate a move down from No. 10
7. They could swing it financially

You're more worried about a RB when they have Chubb and Hunt, while the LT spot is the worst in the NFL? Not sure I follow. And didn't we just sign Hooper at TE and still have nJOKE-on-u?
i am gonna double down take a tackle at ten and then with are next pick take another linemen
1) you never quite know if ine will bust
2)we still have a need at rg

Yea, but, did you see our LB corps? Frightening.....second only to LT as a priority.

All sounds good. Some say he is a malcontent....but it seems his only discontent is being stuck in DC (though I am sure he would want more money).
I assume any delay is the "compensation" issue. I don't want to give up a first and 2d rounder......but I may give up a 3rd and a 7th.

Well, the most any team ever scored in a single NFL game has been 73 pts. Let's say that the Browns score 60 on average.
Still, somebody has to tackle the opponent.

o.k o.k drafting 7 o-linemen is probably a bad idea so may your wish be granted for a top tier lb

If the Browns take Trent before the draft, teams below will be panicking we will take BPA at 10 like 1 of the 3 elite WR's .....you would see Denver and the Raiders trying to jump us into 9
if we are trading for Trent and trading back with Atlanta or Denver we announce the trade back and trade for Trent together

If we trade for Williams, and have #10 for BPA, I don't think we go WR. I see the trade down to get either S McKinney, or one of the LBs: Queen or Murray.

For what it's worth, CBS has him drafted with the 26th pick overall (Fins). Of course, that doesn't mean he will go there, could drop into the 2nd round (shrugs shoulders).

This OT class has the numbers... just not the polish... but then college programs don't polish OL play anymore. 2020 is about as loaded as an OT class gets these days.
While there's no refined, "elite" prospect near the level Joe was when we drafted him, there are a bunch of really good prospects making 2020 the strongest OT class since probably '06. That class made up for a light 1st round with a strong Day 2 and even a couple surprises on Day 3.

I'd say when 6-7 LTs are taken in the 1st round (4 likely in the top 12) I'd say it's a strong LT draft. There might be more LTs taken in the 1st than QBs. I know some (all?) need developed, but all those 1st round guys have the physical tools to become very good. Even Bectum seems to have some nice skills. No, there probably isn't an Orlando Pace, Jon Ogden or Joe Thomas in the group, but those are Hall of Famers. I'd settle for an eventual pro bowler.
No matter how you cut it, it's a good year for a team needing a LT that has the #10 pick. Good fortune. Not so much a great year for an ILB though. It seems most of them are pretty flawed after the first few.

Seems all talk, no action, so far.
I hear Tampa Bay may be offering a lot for Williams.

Hasn't played in a year, wants a boatload of money, will be 32 during the season, hasn't played a full season since like 2013.

Ergo, why I would not want to pay more than a 3rd rounder for him.....and why I would want a young OT to be taken anyway....at some point

I mean, a 3rd for Williams isn't a horrible trade by any means, it just feels like a band-aid.
He wants a huge long-term contract, and the Browns have some young players they need to lock up very soon.
But who knows? Perhaps there's a crazy run on OTs by the time the Browns are on the board at 10?

If TB is getting in the mix, then their offer will have to include at least one high-salary player...
The Washington Redskins appear intent on trading offensive tackle Trent Williams, and the Cleveland Browns are reportedly in the driver's seat.
Per Julie Donaldson of NBC Sports Washington, "there are definite discussions going on with the Cleveland Browns regarding trading Trent Williams."
Donaldson also noted that the New York Jets are "highly unlikely" to be involved and that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not in the race because of a lack of cap space.
