Now you have a few players to watch during all this bowl mania... I know I left out some prospects, but these are the games with the most NFL names I could think of at positions I felt we'd be looking for...

Perhaps go back and edit this to tell us which players we should have our eyes on for the Browns needs.

The guys in orange are first round picks at positions of need...

The guys in brown are later picks who could make nice additions...

The rest are NFL-caliber players on each team at positions of need...

Just a small viewing guide for those who plan to watch any of these games...

[slowburn]

good stuff

[Hunt Daddy]

We're counting Logan Thomas as an NFL-caliber tight end rather than quarterback, right?

Wow this is really awesome thanks man

The only non-National Championship bowl worth watching is Clemson-Ohio State, honestly. That's going to be a rousing matchup.

Nah- if you're into scouting- you have to see how Carr and Bridgewater perform on top of the OSU homer Bowl.

The Arizona/BC game is interesting to see those two RBs play. I have not seen a game by either of those teams this year. Some say those 2 rate higher than Carlos Hyde.....if so, they must be pretty damn good.

But no real top flight mano a mano games between highly rated QBs.

Would have been nice to a game between say Louisville and Texas A&M. Marquis QB matchup between Johnny Football and Teddy Bridgeovertroubledwater.

Perhaps the guys that are setting these matchups should take this sort of thing into account.

That matchup would have probably been a ratings bonanza. Now some of the matchups are just meh.
