Major projected draft prospects for Browns first three rounds
-
No telling
-
time for a goofy prediction:
The Browns will trade up to the 20 pick if their guy is still there, or Tenn. will pick him.
They trade a third round and a fifth round, to move up to 20 to pick:
Azeez Ojulari, LB/DE
he's super athletic, bendy, explosive, very intelligent, outstanding character, loves the game, is fine at dropping back in pass coverage.....
he won't fall to the Browns at 26. He may not even fall to the 20th pick, but I think he will.
and just makes stuff happen.

I'll watch for that one specifically. I also want to see who picks up the Tulsa LB.
-
1st Round has to happen 1st....?
... I don't know how we'd get there?...
But after some FA adds... We might still be left with 2 targets ?
1) Vernon's edge need replacement..... (Kwity Paye)
2) a LB that 'can cover' need .... Micah Parson and or (JOK) Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, LB, Notre Dame
There's where my Big Board would start...BUT...
Is the other same talent position separation large enough to consider the trade up?
-
Someone talk me into Kwity Paye. I just don’t see it.

Zaven Collins
I draft him in most of my mocks ...that will change tho now as I will go DE after we signed Walker and kept Smith

The Browns also resigned Lee (lb).... they want that solid depth.

Kwitty Paye would be a solid pick - explosive, versatile, athletic, de/lb, can drop back....about 14 lbs heavier than Zaven Collins.... solid character..... but Paye is most often mocked to be long gone by #26. Zaven Collins is, often, too.
Parsons doesn't fit the profile, from a character standpoint, in my opinion, not going to happen. Outstanding athleticism, though.
I'm a big fan of Osusu-Koramoah. He will be a terrific tool for any team's defensive toolbox.
This next draft is so interesting and nearly impossible to get a good grip on.....
if the Browns draft an edge rusher at #26... I sure hope Jabril Cox falls to them in the second round. But I don't have high hopes...

I feel like I'm watching Trent Cole. But I can't tell for the better or the worse... yet.

good comparison..
quick 1st step..speed to power..stacks & shreds with ripping powerful hands.good punch when called for. but you won't see much of any corner bends..

The beauty is that now that the major portion of the FA signing are done, we don't have any glaring holes in the roster. That means we won't be at least leaning towards drafting for major needs, so that open things up.
It's a great year with the wr class. I could see us drafting a WR with our 1st rounder. It's wide open. We might have a player we love and trade up to get him. We might have our eyes on other guys we can get a bit later, so I could see us trading out of round 1 for a 2nd rounder and say a 2nd or 3rd rounder next year.
No matter what we do, we are in a good spot.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Interesting - we draft so late in the first round, I hadn't thought about trading down. A high draft choice in the second round could easily net the Browns one of their top players they are looking at for #26. What is fun .... we have a A++ coaching staff and FO that we can believe in to make very, very smart moves and decisions.

I think the Browns have ONE glaring weakness - they have no one opposite Myles to worry a team in the pass rush department.
Getting pressure on the opposing QB is priority #1 in 2021 NFL, and the Browns today are in worse shape regarding that than they were at this time last year.

Maybe, maybe not. I am sure we signed Takk to be a big part of that hole. How that pans out, only time will tell. I do agree that we may not be set at that position. I think we may still make a play for Clowney. I know some don't like him for one reason or another, but he is still a very good football player and we have shown prior interest. We may also have a draft target in mind. I know I have given reasons why a trade down might make sense, but a trade up could also be in the works for the first round. We have 11 draft picks this year. No way we draft 11 players. Some of those picks are going to be traded to either move up or push extra picks in to next year, so some combination of both.

I was thinking the same thing this morning - I would not be surprised if the Browns traded up.
The secondary is pretty much set with the addition of the two Rams. I don't see the Browns front office ever investing big draft capital in the LB position. IMO, the big, glaring hole is someone to really complement Myles on the DLine. Not sure that guy is going to fall to them at #26.

Like I think I mentioned elsewhere, Ojulari is a player the Browns may very well covet, except he could be gone by the 20th pick.
A move up to 20 would be a ...third and a fifth?
He's been linked strongly to the niners - who pick #12. Of all the drafts in recent years, this draft seems to be
special - really intriguing.
-
it very well could happen. I guess the difference between you and i is that I am not as convinced the target is a lock(or near) to be a DE type. We both agree that there is a good chance at least one of Landy/OBJ will be gone. It wouldn't shock me if we moved up to tap in to some of the cream of the WR group.
If Berry is pretty sure that keeping both Landry and OBJ is prohibitive from a cost standpoint, now would be the time to plan for that rather than wait for next year. That is why I think there is a pretty good chance that a receiver is in the plans.

He very well could be the guy. I was going to mention him in one of the above posts, but couldn't remember how to spell his name and didn't feel like looking it up.?

11 picks? I thought it was only 9. But be it 9 or 11 I do think that those picks can be manipulated with trade ups to get us maybe 6 hopefully really good players. I would rather step up further in round one, or get another first or second round pick than to have a 6th or 7th rounder be just camp fodder. You can probably get UDFAs that will give you as good as a 6th or 7th rounder.

Or, do you mean he is the guy you really want the Browns to covet? Nevertheless, if you think he could be the answer, and if the Browns agree, a trade up for him may be the way to go.
