  • 🙂 I think the Browns will use Sheard to try and get into the 2nd round.

    Nope. They are not dropping one of their pass-rushers, especially a potential starter. Mingo will not come into the leage as a 3-down player, he needs time to develop.

  • 😐 I don't think that Sheard can play linebacker and he'll have to on this team since we switched to a 3-4 defense.

    You don't think that because...???...???...

    He covered RBs, FBs, and TEs last year, albeit not every play, but did quite well. He's more athletic than I think you are giving him credit for.

  • It's quite possible that at least three or four of the bottom of that list make it to us. Hopefully we get to choose between these guys:

    55. Dwayne Gratz CB UConn

    61. Larry Watford OG Kentucky

    63. Darius Slay CB Mississippi St.

    64. Phillip Thomas FS Fresno St.

    He ran a 4.65ish 40 time before he was drafted and he is only 255 pounds. How do you not see it being at least slightly possible he can make the transition.

  • 😐 According to Bruce Drennan sources told him that Sheard had a lot of trouble at the minicamp they just had. I heard that on Drennan's show "All Bets Are Off".

  • 😐 When did Sheard cover all these players? In college? In high school? I don't remember him dropping into coverage the last couple of years. Sheard has been a pass rushing defensive end in a 4-3 defensive scheme.

  • 🙂 According to ESPN the Jets are trying to move up in the 2nd round to get a QB.

    Do you watch the Browns play?? He has dropped into coverage a few times in the past 2 years, and has been quite successful when doing so. Just b/c he plays DE in a 4-3 doesn't mean he rushes the passer every play... there are different zone blitzes when he would cover the flat, as well as other zone coverages where he would cover a TE on a short route...

    Plus, if I was the FO I'd wait until we see more than 1 minicamp before dumping the guy. Especially being that he has been our best pass rusher the last 2 years.

  • The way I look at it Gordon is better an all available, half the first and imo the six pick this year in the draft. I'm ok with no second pick

  • i like eddie lacy from bama. imagine having those two bulls in the backfield.

  • never mind just went to the packers

  • What a fall for Matt Barkley. Now a 3rd rounder at best.

  • 😕 I watch every game and yes Sheard dropped in coverage just a few times to confuse the offensive line on a blitz. How many times? The answer is very few.

  • So now we're looking for the.. best available beginning round 5
