This is after the injury, still blazing speed. He's going to have a chip on his shoulder being drafted late as well...

Poe, clean your room & put your toys away (mock monster). I scouted him in Raleigh, NC where he was a HS track star. Love the kid & has the heart of Gurley (also a track star). Mostly sat behind Gurley at Ga. BUT the man has not takin a football hit in over 2 years & not many in college. The NFL, that's a big leap of faith.. Hope he can, great kid

I'd prioritize a deep threat WR and also draft Hunter Henry and run two TE sets with big play Gary. The rest of the draft has to be defense.

Per NFL Live, Esp on...M. Bowie & Alvin Bailey will battle for RT position. Interviewee She, watched Sashi lips move the whole time

Won't Austin Pasztor also be in this mix.

For Pass Rusher, I'm banking on a rejuvenated and rebuilt Mingo. He and Kruger in the right defensive scheme will work pretty well. I'm also thinking we have a young couple of guys that we've not really tapped into yet.. Nate Orchard?

Well, this is good in theory....and you should be right about it....our former 1st and 2d round pick OLBs SHOULD put pressure on the passer....but I certainly cannot count on Mingo at this point.....so I just want more to go along with Orchard, Mingo, Kruger.

If the Browns stay at 8, I see them taking a Bosa or Buckner, whomever is still on the board.

The Offensive Line will be stout with moving McGovern to ROT. He's versatile and could go to G or OT, I'll work him at the RT spot and go: Thomas, Bitonio, Erving, Greco, McGovern

Yea, No, I am not relying on a rookie OG to move to Tackle. That, to me, is a recipe for failure.

Zeke would be the de facto Starter. Duke would be the change of pace back. Marshall would come in when Zeke needs a rest. This would be a great stable of RB's to compete. They are all young and should have the RB spots covered for several years to come. Marshall would be an upgrade over Crowell. He's got another gear few players have.

I don't see this guy replacing the Crow. If they were to take him, he would be in the mix to be the 4th string RB instead of Winston/Mostert. Can he return kicks?

Gordon...

He'll reapply for reinstatement in August. Provided there is no more red flags he should be reinstated promptly. He should be ready for preseason. He's been staying in great shape and will play like a man possessed when he is given the chance again. I'm counting on him, I trust that he knows what is at stake. Griffin to Gordon, all day - all day.

He hasn't stayed clean knowing the consequences. Can't count on it happening going forward.

RightO MarkO.....we can't count on Gordon.....thus why I chose 2 WRs in top 4 rounds.

Lets just hope one of them isn't a Vincent fucking Mayle.

He was awful with the Jags when they tried him at RT. At guard, he performed well enough.

Where did he play for us last year? OG or OT? If I recall he did a pretty serviceable job.

gftChris

He was a guard last year. Remember that Schwartz guy? He was our tackle. For every snap of every game of ever year from 2012 until last year.

Who did Pasztor fill in for? Greco? Bito?

gftChris

Bitonio. He played LG, after Erving failed.

Right, that's right.

Yea, we need a RT....but not at 8 or 32. Need playmakers.

I would be quite happy with a tackle at one of those spots. Honestly, if we get Elliott at 8 and a RT at #32, run the damn ball a lot, get RG3 on the bootlegs and play actions, we could be on to something. Hit on a late round receiver like a diggs, brown, bryant, or whoever, and things only get better.

No, we need help at WR. Talent. It is too much to hope for to get what we need that much later. For all the guys you mention there are a dozen Vince Mayles.

That's why we trade with TEN down to 15... Taylor Decker, baybee....

If they go to 15, it is so that TEN can take Tunsil likely....or Stanley. If the Browns wanted an OT, I don't think they do the trade down....except to get another 2d rounder.

Mr. Make-Believe

Bumping this as I believe it to be valuable to plug our picks in and see how much we think the current roster has improved.

Looking at this... holy shit this team needs a lot of work.

lol... dammit... may have awakened the wife...
