    Jones is my edge rusher first round prediction for the Browns. He

    won't be there very long in the second round

    Willing to accept bets on this one.

    Ditto... He should be glad there won't be a Green Room.

    ... and I'm taking bets on this not being a deep draft at Edge.

    Jaycee Horn CB.  

    DraftNet has him as their #3 CB behind Farley and Surtain II.

    The son of four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Joe Horn, South Carolina Gamecocks cornerback Jaycee Horn enters the NFL after three seasons in the SEC where he demonstrated consistent growth. After primarily playing in the slot in 2018, Horn played out wide in 2019 and 2020 where he projects best in the NFL. Horn has a long and stocky frame that is built for competing with X-receivers in the NFL. His size, length, and physicality show up in coverage where he is highly disruptive in press and ultra competitive at the catch point. The concerns with Horn show up primarily as a tackler and playing off-man coverage. Unfortunately, Horn doesn’t play to his weight class as a tackler and there are too many missed tackles on film. Additionally, Horn can be guilty of guessing when mirroring routes, leading to false steps, which is problematic given how segmented his transitions can be in the first place. If used correctly and with development, Horn can be a quality starter, especially if his ball skills continue to progress as they did in 2020. 

    Ideal Role: Starting outside corner

    Scheme Fit: Predominantly zone and press coverage with minimal deployment of off-man coverage.

  • Watched SCar v Bama.  Jaycee didn't look out of place when covering Smith...  at least as well as anyone else did.   But his off-ball on any of their receivers wasn't great.  He would immediately be the biggest DB on roster not named Harrison.

    Did you detect any lack of "want to" when it came to tackling?

    Can't think of many corners that "want to".   But it didn't seem like he was Eric Wright either.

    My brother in law is a huge Michigan fan (oh! the text messages we've lived) I've always told him..It's like 'Brandon Graham' (1.13) still plays at Michigan... but Kwity can bring a Myles Jack type 1st step..

    Honestly, If a gm's job includes projecting talent to the NFL?

    Kwity Paye is my (hand in dirt) can't miss 'freak'... No combine, but the dude will blow-up his pro day.. He's had Pro coaching (Harbaugh) since 2017..Kwity played 2 games in 2017 & Jay & I, knew the kid had 'it' to bring into 2018.. He's added more " tools to his toolbox" for 3 season's, that others don't have.. Paye has faced some of the stiffest comp../ his team got whipped on Saturdays, but regardless of the score.. He's all about great effort with a full motor.. I can't remember a single football play the guy took off.. 

    He's got twitch/size/wing/high motor/ all in a Julius Peppers frame...  Paye's my top defensive player on the board with no thinking twice... (I just can't find a way to get into the top 10 ?)     

    11.5 sacks in 28 career games.  Was he held back by the scheme?  Is he a late developer?

    Mostly scheme 

  •  I can't imagine a possibility that Jacee Horn falls out of the top 20 at worst.

    Broad jump isn't bad, neither is the vert.  Obviously the 40 is unreal for someone that size, but the 3-cone,   really was looking forward to that.

    I think he'll never live up to the myth of his current reported 3 cone, so his agent probably told him not to do it at the pro day.  

    He'll keep that recorded 3 cone as his "official".

    I'm surprised he knocked out 36 reps. That's more than I would have guessed.

    Meh. Bench really is something almost out of mind for me.    Putting up past 25 reps is really not necessary.

    I'm not saying it matters (I've watched / read plenty of things by "football people" saying it really doesn't matter). I'm just saying I'm surprised he had 36.

  • The more I think about it, I feel the browns are preparing to go corner in Round 1 and DE in Round 2. However, if the board falls to where their #1 DE guy is on the board at 26, they grab him and then trade up to grab the corner. I think the difference in talent between the top 5 edge guys is in the eye of the beholder and what each d-coordinator wants. I believe joe woods would love to have 2 lock down guys on the outside and that will help the d-line as well and they could work with what they currently have and potentially resign OV.

    Still riding that train, huh?

  • yep.He isn't as athletic as some other are, but he has the intangibles that some others don't.

    Enough athleticism to be a terrific edge rusher?

    watch him on film.

    Kwity Paye is ranked #7.  Patrick Jones !! is rated #1,

    which surprised the heck out of me - I couldn't figure out

    why he wasn't more highly rated in talking about the draft -

    and then found this.

    So, again, what is it  that this article is so wrong about?

    Farley won't even be close to #26-long gone by then, possibly even the 1st CB to get drafted and certainly the 2nd. Too many teams before the Browns in need of a highly ranked CB will pick him up if he doesn't go BPA before their picks.
