Draft Thoughts 2013
-
I say we go Jarvis Jones or Dion Jordan in the first, then Marcus Lattimore in the third if he's still on the board.
It's time we start drafting BPA instead of for need, and if Lattimore is still available in the third he will clearly be the best BPA. We won't need him at all next season, and then when he's healthy we can either have two fantastic RB's or trade Lattimore for more than we got him for.
Let's pull a New England and turn a draft pick into profit for once.

I like lattimore as well, he would be the change of pace back that I think we need. I believe he is not doing anything at the combine, but what about pro days? Is he going to be healthy enough? The way that knee bent, i would think he lost a step or two. I just dont want another hardesty on the roster, but he did look decent last year. But he still has yet to live up to where he was taken, Imo

Dr. James Andrews has said that Lattimore will "shock the world" when he works out for teams. He's gained twenty pounds of muscle and is three months ahead of schedule. Andrews has gone on record saying its very possible that he'll be ready for the start of this season.
He'll begin running next Monday.

I think the Browns are going to be watching a handfull of guys at the combine to see if they can adapt their pass-rushing skills into being able to play stand up OLB.
Hopefully we see Werner, Mingo, Ansah, and Moore perform in the "pass drop, and hip rotation drill" which will say a lot about their ability to drop into coverage as needed. If these guys aren't able to do it, then I think Jones has to be our pick at #6.
Unless we can fill our LB holes via FA. Then it would be a no-brainer to draft Milliner.

Possible CB prospect for the Browns in this year's draft?
Sanders Commings - CB - Georgia
-
Pre-Combine Mock
6)Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
- I would probably want Moore or Ansah here, but unless the Browns trade Sheard, they need a backer who can do more than simply rush the passer. Jones would play opposite Sheard as a linebacker who can do it all. He is called the best player in the draft by many, even with his athleticism question marks. Jones would step in a start immediately, while paying huge dividends in the overall performance of the defense.
68) Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
- Warford would step in at left guard and provide a huge upgrade. Pinkston is a question mark and Warford would be a talent upgrade regardless.
100*) Blidi Wreh-Wilson, CB, UConn
- Wilson dropped a bit during the Senior Bowl. He still provides a long, athletic CB who could be perfect for the position opposite of Haden.
131*) Brad Wing, P, LSU
- I'm am sick and tired of subpar punting. Field position can be a weapon, and Hodges lacks the consistency. Wing could immediately come in and become a Top 10 Punter immediately.
162*) Michael Williams, TE, Alabama
- He has been dropping a bit, and the lack of invite to the combine will only hurt his stock. Williams could come in and become an excellent compliment to Cameron. I even think his blocking could be used from day one in two tight sets.
164*) Zeke Motta, FS, Notre Dame
- He may never develop into a starter, but he would fill depth as a perfect combo safety. He could also fill in on special teams immediately.
*Compensatory picks will change the order

Another DE prospect to keep an eye on
Utah - DE - Joe Kruger

I'm surprised he declared early for the draft. Utah was a huge disappointment this year. he was honorable mention all conference. but it sounds like he sees something in himself that others don't see.

I think we couldn't go wrong taking Collin Klein in the seventh.
He's a big dumb monster and at the very least could be a viable TE.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
Watching the TE's run 40's and some enticing later round guys with speed are:
Matt Furstenburg out of Maryland(which apparently had QB issues), who is 6-4 and ran an unofficial 4.50.
Chris Gragg from Arkansas resembles vernon davis speed with a 4.44 but is a shorter 6.3
And Vance McDonald from Rice really stood out to me by kinging the bench with 31 reps and running a 4.63 which was just behind Eifert(4.60) and ahead of Ertz(4.65), and the dude is 6-5.

Mike Mayock's top-five ranks include early surprises

NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock has released his eagerly awaited top-five prospect lists for each position. The quarterback list reflects Mayock's sentiment that it's a confusing year for signal-callers. The major takeaway, however, is that the script has been flipped on the defensive stars at tackle, outside linebacker and insider linebacker.
Mayock's prospect rankings
NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock has unveiled his initial position-by-position rankings of the 2013 NFL Draft prospects. See which players made the cut. More ...
Let's take a look at the noteworthy rankings:
» Quarterback:
Regarded by most analysts as the only surefire first-round pick, Geno Smith is no surprise at the top. Mayock isn't willing to "pound the table" for the West Virginia star, but appreciates his arm, release, and athleticism. Matt Barkley is a mild surprise in the second spot, though Mayock believes he can make every throw. Syracuse's Ryan Nassib is viewed as a Andy Dalton-level talent.
» Running back:
Alabama power back Eddie Lacy continues to pick up momentum on the heels of his dominant performances in the SEC title game and the BCS National Championship Game. He's emerging as the clear No. 1 back with a chance to go in the top 20 picks. Giovani Bernard's relatively low ranking implies a belief that explosive scat back out of North Carolina will be limited to a complementary role in the NFL. South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore remains the wild card at the No. 5 spot.
It's no surprise that Cordarrelle Patterson tops the list, as Mayock has stated that his jaw dropped when he put on the Tennessee film and saw the game-breaking wideout making plays all over the field.
» Defensive tackle:
While Utah's Star Lotulelei has been the consensus top prospect, both Mayock and NFL.com's Bucky Brooks have him ranked second at the position. Mayock prefers the fast-rising Sharrif Floyd from Florida while Brooks likes Missouri's Sheldon Richardson.
» Outside linebacker:
Mayock has called Oregon's Dion Jordan a potential "monster" at 6-foot-7 with the ability to play outside linebacker or defensive end. As we draw closer to the draft, we suspect other analysts will take Mayock's lead in ranking him above the more popular Jarvis Jones from Georgia.
any one watch this guy at all this year? seems intriguing to me.
» Inside linebacker:
Mayock has acknowledged Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o's disappointing performance against Alabama in the national championship game, but he still believes his overall body of work merits a first-round selection. Georgia's Alec Ogletree likely is getting the edge due to his superior speed and athleticism, as he flies to the ball like a safety.

This year my school's coaches in game prep only called out 3 defensive players as being "really special players" who they needed to specifically plan against. Those 3 were DE Dion Jordan of Oregon, LB Chase Thomas of Stanford, and LB Chris Borland of Wisconsin (who isn't in the draft).

One QB who gets no pub and is a hell of a player is Matt Scott from Arizona. Arizona was supposed to win 2-3 games this year and instead they won 8. That guy is going to do something in the NFL.

Had no idea Chase Thomas of Stanford was only projected as a 3rd-4th round pick. This guy is the reason Stanford went into Eugene and beat Oregon this year. I don't know who does all this grading shit because Chase Thomas will be a good player in the league.

Any GM who drafts that guy should be fired.

At this point my Big board for our #6 overall now looks like this:
1. Dion Jordan - Ore
2. Ezekiel Ansah - BYU
3. Bjoern Werner - FSU
4. Barkevious Mingo - LSU
5. Damontre Moore - TA&M
6. Jarvis Jones - UGA
Obviously they're all 3-4 OLBs b/c with all this talent we can't miss, and it is our biggest position of need. I've watched some film (via youtube) on all 6 of these guys, as well as checked out the combine stats. I'm hoping to get a look at the on-field drills to see how well these guys play standing up. Jordan and Jones are really the only 2 with a decent amount of coverage experience, the other 4 are pure pass-rushers so the drills are important.

**************************************
Not a bad list, but Mingo won't go that high, and Moore only did ...12 reps on the bench press? That's not good.
Jones reportedly was okayed at the combine physically. He could be the pick. Who knows ?
