  • Cool... nfl.com also has a running list, but lacks the "rumor" section.

    Dante Fowler Jr. is an interesting DE prospect.

    I like the Rice DT, Covington, as a Day 2'er... here's hoping his knee heals.

    2015 looks to be very rich in RBs at the top, so should be some nice prospects come late Day 2 and Day 3.

  • Yeah I like Fowler.

    I think this is a great class to grab a RB late. There are just so many going to get pushed down the board.

  • One guy I'm high on is Stephon Diggs from Maryland. He's a little smaller than I would like for a number 2, but he reminds me of a Percy Harvin clone. I don't know much about him off the field, but he may be a real gem

    Isn't that what we said last year about WRs? 😉

  • This year it's D line.....tons of depth and talent available....

    So, just like last year, since we really need D line and there are a ton of players available.......we will draft a safety

    To be fair, we drafted at positions of need last year with CB, QB and OG. I can't see us not drafting a lineman (O/D) in the first round.

  • It was really just a bit of sarcasm, considering we needed a WR last year.....and the draft was RICH with them.....yet?

  • I feel you, I was really looking at the likes of Robinson, Lee, Beckham, Cooks and thinking they would be great. Fortunately Bitonio panned out or there would have been outrage. I think that's the pick that saved the regime. Still, Farmer better hit on at least one of his first rounders this year...

  • I would seriously consider Peat if he is there at #12 as much as I'd rather start with a great DL (if we don't buy Suh).

    Sign Trey Williams as undrafted free agent. Totally underutilized as a 5* with great speed and open field moves/balance. Would be a better return man than we now have. Has good enough hands to convert to slot with serious getaway ability (fastest player on the team). He'd be a steal as a take if undrafted. Nothing to lose in giving him a shot. (A&M has just hired an O line/running game coordinator because Sumlin realized the run game was terribly underutilized in his O). PS-averaged 6.9 yds per carry but just not run often enough to be a factor.

  • Having Jesse James at TE could be fun (and FYI, the original Jesse James was no hero.....getting shot in the back was propitious for him)

    And to salve Woody......getting Funchess in Round 2 with our third pick would be fine for me. I would prefer to use the two 1st rounders on Linemen and Linebackers. If he goes in the first round, so be it....but if he is there for the picking in round 2....why not take a shot. He couldn't turn out to be Braylon Jr., could he?

  • I'd take the best tackle available and a hybrid lineman in the first. A guy that can play multiple offensive line spots. That's why I had such a hard on for Jake Matthews last year. What a difference he woulda been.

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

    Yep-the reason they won their bowl game is that they spent the entire month working on the running game and then fired the OL coach when the game was over. They had 3 5* running backs to use this year and totally mishandled it. Sumlin is smart enough to see that in the SEC you have to have a true running threat to protect the "normal" QB who is a better pro style passer than JM was.

  • So... finally you agree that JM is "abnormal"... or maybe Abby Normal...

  • At this point I have no idea what the Browns may go. I could see Dline, pass rusher or receiver.

    This draft has quite a bit of talent and depth, so I won't be too upset if we miss out on a specific player I'd want in the first. Plenty of options in the 2nd round.

    Must be a Texas thing, just like the Cowboys with their passing game coordinator

  • Malcolm Brown, DT - Texas just declared for the draft.

    Guy has a wife and two kids. Draft that mofo. Not only is he 'grounded', but he'll play his ass off to feed his family.

    No, in following Harbaughs hiring of his staff, terms like "Running Gane Coordinator" and "Passing Game Coordinator" actually pop up in a few places. It seems like a way to give a guy a promotion without being a full OC/DC
