Sorry about that.....Im pretty ignorant with this kind of stuff.....highlighted the brownies.....

LOL... np...

Is it a pay service article you cannot link to?

Joel Bitonio LG Browns 2.3 2 Up

I get that the "2" is last rating's spot on list and the "Up" is movement from last spot, but what is the "2.3"?

EDIT: Never mind... draft position Rnd 2 Pick 3... duh...

What play?

The play where Cousins actually played RG...

See because I thought he mostly just filled out a uniform and stood on the field and...

Aw... never mind... if you have to explain them...

Mud,

Thanks... as soon as my eyes uncross...

That looks like one of those piles of letters where you look for and circle everything in a category like "The 50 Contiguous States" or some such shit... And they are in there every which way: verticle, backwards, angled up/ down and left/right...

#54 = Justin Gilbert

Here it is....of course, this is only one writers opinion....still think it's a pretty fair assessment

Shazier's durability was my concern with him... well that and lack of eyebrows...

Mosely was as impressive as hell both vs. PTG and us.

But Bito at #1 is awesome...

Link to the list, please?

@tour2ma said:

Ahhhahaha....everybody has picks that suck.....I would like someone to show me another team that has 3 in the top 26, pulled from rounds OTHER than the first.....

On an aside.....only 17 first rounders made the list, which means A LOT of teams aren't getting immediate production from their first round picks.....

Hate to say it, but Cinn had a couple at 32 & 33....Pitt had Shazier at 15th, but he'll fall now that he's hurt....Ravens had Mosely at 8.....

So, the early return has the Browns with the best "performing" draft in our division.....

@mudfly said:

Now...there are 64 picks in the first 2 rounds.....yet we have 4 of the top 54...

What's the over/under on the time it takes for someone to point out that we have one in the bottom ten?*

_________________________________________________________________________

*Actually bottom eleven, but they won't know.... shhhh...

THE #1 rated rookie = Joe Bitonio

#13 = Terrence West

#26 = Isiah Crowell

#54 = Justin Gilbert

Now...there are 64 picks in the first 2 rounds.....yet we have 4 of the top 54......and how Kirksey didn;t make the list is beyond me....

But....it is what it is....considering we have 2 of the top 13 players and they were taken in the 2nd and 3rd rounds...plus #26 who was picked as a freeby......Id say Mr. Farmer knows his shit.....

@typicalbrowns said:

... I think its the tail end of the draft that Farmer fucked up. He traded away alot of our picks towards the end. Could've used another Defensive player or WR

There certainly was a lot of late talent in the "deep" draft of 2014... at minimum we could have added some quality depth.

@vers said:

--Cousins played RG at the beginning of the year because both Lava Man and Pinky were hurt.

I must have missed that play...

What play?

Pinky and Lava both got hurt during preseason last year. That is why Cousins started the first couple of games.

@frenchie said:

As was said earlier, I think the guy was too heavy in he foot. In this blocking scheme, the guys need to be able to move. Gilkey wasn't very nimble.

@hoorta said:

All about the system. Browns are bringing in guys (or guys already here) who fit. Probably why they let Gilkey go- not smart enough.

May have been smarts, but I saw Gilkey as a road grader, power blocking type, not a finesse guy.
