Khalil Mack was leading the NFL in sacks until Watt got a sack today...

Mack was far from a sure thing. He'd been playing in very mediocre competition and there was doubt over whether he'd be able to step up to the NFL.
i'm gonna disagree with you there. He tore up OSU and his combine was outstanding. If not for that OSU game and one other I believe, yeah you would be right. But on the big stage he utterly tore shit up. Rookie year, one of the best run stoppers at OLB'er. 2nd year...now he's one of the best pass rushers. Holy fuck.

Yeah it was that OSU game that elevated him really. A good career against meh competition would have been fine and dandy, but the OSU game gave teams faith.

On a related note I was hoping we go back to a 4-3, what would that mean for Shelton ?
Trouble. And/or a crash diet where he loses about 50 lbs.

He's been in there with Meder at DT when we run 4-3 looks. I don't think it would affect him at all. If anything I would think it would make him even more effective as he'll see less doubles. As a 3-4 NT you are double teamed every single down pretty much, unless you suck. Two effective two gapping DT's makes for a nasty 4-3 if you pair them with competent DE's. ie cincy's 4-3.

Agree, I think Shelton will be fine
Too much is made out of the 3-4/4-3 thing. It comes down more to utilization of the talent you have.

You know, I coulda been a Victoria Secrets Model if I had grown wings and a pussy. But I have neither.....so what is the point of regret?

because people want to, again, forego immediate production in favor of projects.

Not using Watt in my argument exactly because nobody expected him to be as good as he is now. But Jones, Kuechly and Mack were all regarded as studs and look where they are now, top 3 at their respective positions.

There were doubters to be sure, but he was closer to "surefire" that almost any other player in his draft... at least that's what I remember.
OBJ had an injury question circling him going into the draft.
... so lets continue to get drunk and falsely get excited about next year...and the next year...and the next year.
Finally a plan near and dear to a Browns' fans' heart... and liver...

... plus we all want to make the picks we hit upon known to others...
And Shelton will be fine... I know... I wanted to pick him...
