Draft rounds 2 and 3

Neville Gallimore too.
Obi insurance is case we lose him next year.

He would fit in nicely in the rotation too

I'd go Safety or LB

My line of thinking.

Chinn, Harrison, Wilson, plenty of WR and IOL depth to be found including the resident favorite - Muti. Names that standout to me for the Browns.

Damn, was about to edit my post and say him as well. Good catch.

I know you mentioned him a few weeks ago. I like him a lot too. I don’t think he’s necessarily a luxury pick but I know we have greater needs.

I follow college recruiting a lot Gallimore and Epenesa were both highly recruited. I know Gallimore stung pretty badly when he turned away the Buckeyes for Okie

Yeah, I remember the name. Pretty sure he was the Canadian kid that went out to the midwest? Which I thought was weird given that it's about 3 hours or so to the border from Columbus (depending on how you drive)

As for Epenesa, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't think Austin Jackson was a worthy 1st round investment as an OT, so AJ getting the best of him in the bowl game really doesn't elevate either any higher in my mind.

But we've got the same mindset on Gallimore and, looking at the pick structure, the only real team ahead of us I could see taking him is Detroit. Actually, the run that could be coming would be DB's, RB's and LB's, Nelville might continue to fall a bit. It's entirely possible he's there at the top of the 3rd which would be kind of head scratching to me, but GM's do weird shit all the time as we saw last night.

Watched Gallimore at OU and I wasn’t overly impressed with his total play. He had flashes but wasn’t a sustained contributor. Also seemed to have a lot of near miss backfield tackles. I’m typically a Sooner guy but I wouldn’t look ahead of 115

1. Matos

2. McKinney

3. Blacklock

4. Logan Wilson

If McKinney would fall to us that would be great.

Trade down, pick up extra picks . With no picks in the 5th round you can get OLB, CB, G ,S before 5th round begins

Not that Berry may not do that.....but NO I do not wish for that to happen. I think we can get a very quality player at 41. And we need quality players more than we need depth.

If we can get a bona fide big time safety or LB here....that is the best course of action.

the next three picks, two in the third round are priceless. In my stupid mock, I drafted Kyle Dugger and Logan Wilson with two picks in the second round after a trade down.

Which, btw, I thank the Cleveland Browns and God for Wills being there at 10 !!!

You add Tiam's Jeremy Chinn, who I hadn't even heard of back then, lol,

I think there will be a run on safeties - McKinney, Tiam's Jeremy Chinn, and Kyle Dugger (in that order/..). I think one of those three will

be a Cleveland Brown.

Then there's Logan Wilson. Some mocks have him in the second, some the third, even to the Browns. Me, I would be tempted to trade back up into the second round to be drafting Logan Wilson. Then there is Malik Harrison, him too.

Trading down out of the second is a very bad idea, imho. I'd be happier using a third and ? to trade back up into the second. I think we need to get our lb and safety in the second. If our lb lasted til our pick in the third, I'd do a happy dance all around our farm.

McKinney and Delpit... I'm cool passing on both from my current hawks nest.

Well, here is the problem, perhaps with your mock.....you are competing against yourself.

In our BB mock, we competed against others. I had the Browns. I took Wirfs. The reason I took Wirfs instead of Wills was that Wills was already taken.

In the second round I took Antoine Winfield Jr. at 41 at safety: Delpit/McKinney/Dugger were all gone by that time. Davis and Chinn were still there. Chinn didn't go til round 3. Davis went two picks after Winfield.

Point is, it seems that the Browns will be in much better position to have multiple choices at S at 41 than I did in our mock.

My fave draft day......lots of talent still on the board....

Yup... the day when starting line ups are made...

@texasag1969 said:

Totally agree - this is the make or break day and Browns need to finally make it with their 3 picks. We need 3 more home runs to go with our first out of the park pick. Most fun day of the draft IMO.

Ehhhhhh.... one could be a triple and still have me dancing til dawn...

@sdbacker80 said:

1:07 watch the hands and take off on the outside against a guy that just went in the first round

lol.... he owned Jackson all game. That is Epe's one move... the hard straight arm to the breast plate.

Just means Jackson was over-drafted.

What kind of rotation was he in? Was fatigue a factor?

Tour2ma

Agree with the above...

McKinney, Delpit, Chinn, Winfield, Davis, Duggar... all go in succession. How early tonite? Dunno... but hard to see more than two making it to Round 3.

There are leftover RBs, CBs and WRs who are going to go early.
LBs are going to get picked over early as well... LB class is just thin.
IDL and IOL get pushed down some...

I think we have a shot at Chinn at 41... then it's going to a long, anxious wait for our 3rd round pick.

Unsympathetic

If Josh Jones is still on the board at 41.. do we dare go OL back-to-back and make him the swing tackle to eventually replace Conklin in 2022?

I'd pull that finger.. We just went to a move-oriented rushing attack and .. wouldn't you know it, that's Jones' strength.
