? one from nine

I’ve given the one winning ticket to someone going up to track today to just put it on the favourite for the kentucky Derby for me. I don’t even know the horses name as it stands

I loved the #1 horse until I saw that post.

8 is sleeper and at 15 to 1 odds.

I haven’t studied the derby that much this year though

His scheme blows... Apparently Denver thinks so too...

I want to hear what/why YOU think that though. In detail.

And, in his words: I Don't Give a Fuck. (and I really don't....but he did)

I told you, we'd talk again after the draft. I'm a man of my word.

After correctly predicting Newsome to the Browns, I'm feeling saucy...

I'm going to predict nickers responds with something along the lines of "Figure it out for yourself" while possibly referring to you as "Mr. Know-It-All".

so who would you move up for and at what cost ? are 2nd 3rd round pick to get into the top 7 ? myself I would love Moehrig,Koramoah,Barmore and Ojulari

ATOM

after reading tex's post looks like a 3rd plus a 5th and 6th to move that far up So i would pull the trigger and do it

Tour2ma

Yup.... 26 picks before ours tonite then another 31 until our first 3rd-rounder...

... but then only one more.

@dutch-oven said:

I wonder if the Browns are banking on Nick Harris being Tretter's eventual replacement?

What he's done in the weight room this off-season is the biggest factor here. Really need him stronger... especially core and legs. One thing going for him is example Tretter set.

That said...

As others have said the looming cap situation dictates an OL investment this draft and as I was "discussing" with Vag, if we want quality, Round 2 is the place to invest... especially for a ZBS scheme team.

Suitable candidates with plug-n-play, 4-position potential plus ZBS fit who are still on the board include:

tu's Cosmi and
tsun's Mayfield and
that's it.

I'm surprised Cosmi is still on the board, so I do not expect him to last long tonite, but Mayfield? There's a small chance he falls in our lap, but a modest trade up should net him. Mayfield in the bottom half of R2 has "STEAL" written all over him.

If we are just interested in IOL...

tOSU's Davis and
tOSU's Myers are about it.

Both are made for the ZBS and Davis is plug-n-play with the potential to immediately make our looming UFA RG tradeable... now or, if all goes well injury-wise, nearer the trade deadline when prices rise.

Myers? He's plug-n-play-ish, especially at Center, but again by the time the trade deadline rolls around, then he could be established sufficiently to make Teller expendable.

I know that IDL and Edge are seen by most as greater need, but with the former there look to be 3rd-round options (Barmore's fall has shown us the position's value in this class) and with the latter the R2 value is low after the late run last nite.

I know... Ojulari is still there, but he's not a 4-3 fit... neither is Ossai... neither is FSU's Robinson. Bashum? Hate him (but not the name ) ... Roche? 3-4 OLB.

While our 2nd is a bit rich to spend on Rashad Weaver, if you force me to go Edge in R2, he's my pick... but... I think we can nab him with a modest move up in R3.

Save some time and list the periods when you have not felt "saucy"...

... or at least posted like you did.

You all just copied this English lad with the Newsome pick

I SEE YOU

to move up to the 1st pick would cost us both are 3rd's that is something i would not do

What is there to talk about? I said Top Ten, he went 11. What else is there to say. NOTHING...ergo, I won't. Except of course to point A. that he had a sprained thumb against Northwestern and probably should have sat it out and to point out how spotty his play was against Clemson. (oh...yea, right).

We need to get Milton Williams somehow tonight

So who will we pick tonight at # 27? (actual # 59)

I'll go with Jabril Cox from LSU ('cos he played for LSU)

Unsympathetic

It's not just a replacement for Tretter that we're looking for -- Teller's contract is up after the year and he's likely moving on.

Tretter will save 8 against the cap if cut before 2022 season.

lol... in late Feb Pete Smith was writing about how we might draft Williams late Day-3... and then maybe stash him on the PS.

https://www.si.com/nfl/browns/browns-maven-features/draft-fits-milton-williams

Where the Browns Might Select Him: Williams should be selected on day three of the NFL Draft. If he's sitting there in rounds six or seven, the Browns might want to go ahead and grab him there.

I guess we are no longer concerned about fast risers...

His Pro Day numbers are impressive, but has anyone actually broken down any game tape on this guy?

heard a radio interview that told me to watch this Catz film.. Rolled thru two games each from 18 & 19.. than watched his UAB game in 20 to watch his growth... If you don't like Basham's get off? This kid has better..long arm punch, that swings to DT like Myles does from inside & out..Had a great goal line stand to beat UAB in OT.. He's a great kid with room to grow... from his interview? His Dad won't let him get lazy ?

@londonbrown said:

I'm sure they do... but who was talking about this kid a month ago? or even a week ago?

You first mentioned his Pro Day at the end of March... SdB liked him about a week later and mentioned him a gain a couple weeks ago. None of the posts generated any discussion until you posted about him this Wednesday. http://thebrownsboard.com/search/?&q=milton williams&search_and_or=and&start_after=six_months&sortby=relevancy

Now check out this google of his name. From the look of it every team has discovered him in the past few days.
