<![CDATA[My 2016 Browns Draft]]>All my picks are in .....

Cleveland Browns


Joey Bosa - Defensive End

Leonard Floyd - Outside Linebacker

Sterling Shepard - Wide Receiver

Jack Allen - Center

Jonathan Williams - Running Back

Rees Odihambo - Offensive Guard

Kevin Byard - Safety

Kevin Hogan - Quarterback

Ben Braunecker - Tight End

William Ratelle - Inside Linebacker/Fullback


OK folks ...time to rip me to shreds...what do you like what do you hate...would you be happy with this draft or lynch me from a tree in Cleveland ......

Let me defend myself a little first


No QB in this draft is worthy of #2 so I took one of the 3 best players available in Bosa .....adding Floyd at 32 gave us a shit hot pass rush for years to come. Floyd projected top 15 in some drafts.

Sterling Shepard is a great receiver.....mainly in the slot but can be effective outside and was great value in the 3rd ........ Jack Allen the center is a team leader and future 10 year starter .....Jonathan Williams adds depth at the RB position and is a nice pick up in the 4th, what I like about him is his ability to make tacklers miss......Rees Odihambo is projected by some drafts a top 75 prospect...steal in the position I got him, coming off an injury but he has worked out for 6 or 7 teams .......Kevin Byard is a filler at a much needed position ....ball hawk of a safety. and can hit very hard....Kevin Hogan is a 2nd or 3rd round QB obtained at the bottom of the 5th.....leader and already runs an NFL style offense.....our coach will have fun coaching him .....Ben Braunecker is a blocking TE with catching ability...helps the position alot and I am as excited for my last pick as any William Ratelle.....team leader, work room beast who gives his all for 4 quarters, also plays fullback in red zone and short yardage needs...... lots of people saying he could go as high as the 4th round ...some say undrafted.....I like him and consider him a risk free investment at the top of the 7th.


I tried to cover as many holes as I could with this draft and looked at character as well as ability....I am happy with it but lets see how these perform in reality

I don't know how true that is, but it's definitely a theme I've heard a few times. At number two, I want MORE than just a situational type guy. Of course, Bosa could shine in camp and turn into a solid 3 down starter, but I think the point is moot right now. I am starting to believe we're trading down, and I think we already know who we're trading down with.

All my picks are in .....
Cleveland Browns
Joey Bosa - Defensive End....Best Player in the draft.
Leonard Floyd - Outside Linebacker...not if we just took a similar player.
Sterling Shepard - Wide Receiver A bit Small, may prefer a bigger guy.
Jack Allen - Center Backup who could win job? Sure
Jonathan Williams - Running Back probably need another for the stable.
Rees Odihambo - Offensive Guard Depth again at OL...OK
Kevin Byard - Safety May need to go higher at this position with loss of Gipson
Kevin Hogan - Quarterback If they haven't taken one earlier, sure, worth a shot.
Ben Braunecker - Tight End We have players there now....but he intrigues me.
William Ratelle - Inside Linebacker/Fullback Special teamer. That is what round 7 is probably for.

Leonard Floyd - Outside Linebacker Not my favorite pick, need stronger run stopper NO

Sterling Shepard - Wide Receiver Only 5'10' but he'd be a fine pick. Might not be there. Excellent replacement for Benjamin. Wish he was 2-3 inches taller... YES

Jack Allen - Center rather have Irving at Center, NO

Jonathan Williams - Running Back could be a steal, if he's here, his foot injury is ..questionable. YES

Rees Odihambo - Offensive Guard More injury questions - needs to move inside. NO.

Kevin Byard - Safety A really nice pick here. YES

Kevin Hogan - Quarterback I really like Hogan as a later round pick. He will never make this far, though. NO WORKEE

Ben Braunecker - Tight End I don't believe he will fall this far. But if he did, Outstanding pick. YES

William Ratelle - Inside Linebacker/Fullback At 5'10"?, 251 lbs.. Might be a steal. Interesting. YES

I like Shepherd in the third round.

Don't see us drafting a center, I see Erving taking that spot. Just MHO.

Kevin hogan - not a fan.

Also when someone's position is listed as 'something/full back' it might as well just be 'special teams fodder' 😁

Just not a good fit unless we switch to the 4-3. I do like both Shepard and Allen picks.

QB-is ok. I too would not waste a #2 on a QB only to have him torn apart with a too early entry when RG III and Josh inevitably go down. Trade down for more D players in a very strong D class.
