OKAY, I stand corrected, when he gets cut, all you meatus mouths can jump up and down and say...... WOW....he didn't get cut until the second round of cuts............WOW...............he is going to the HOF with Joe Thomas.
Scooby is garbage.
Maybe he is just likeable and interesting...and somewhat of an underdog really. And that is why some/many on here like him.
I personally don't know much about him. I am sure he is a good kid. Maybe it seems he is a bit fun loving and that can be infectious.
I HOPE he does great....he is after all, a Cleveland Brown. Don't you hope that too?

Ghoulies right about how the org works. Fill important spots with lower round talent even though we have zero history developing them. We're not the steelers that can turn some kent st walk on into one of the best olb'ers ever. Or the patriots that can turn a 6th round qb into arguably tje best ever.
Khalil mack should be on this team right now and taking over the cpt position as the mike.

You don't take a talent like Mack and relegate him to a spot like MLB exclusively. That's how you waste talent.

He's playing all over the place for the raiders which is what id let him fo here. But his base position, i would have him in the middle. Let him blitz when he wants. I would have killed for DQ to still be around for a year or two to play next to him.

Can Scooby Wright III be the dominate linebacker he was in college and boom for the Browns? Or will his lack of athletic ability cause him to bust?With only four picks left in the seventh round of the 2016 NFL draft the Cleveland Browns came on the clock and took the best player left on the board in Phillip “Scooby” Wright III, linebacker out of the Univeristy of Arizona. Wright III had one of the best seasons a linebacker could have in 2014 posting 163 tackles, 29 tackles for a loss, 14 sacks, and six forced fumbles. The stats Wright III posted in 2014 were enough to earn him the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (awarded to the player adjudged to be the best defensively in the NCAA), Rotary Lombardi Award (best lineman or linebacker), and the Chuck Bednarik Award (College Defensive Player of the year). Wright III saw his production slip massively in 2015 as injuries started to pile up on the highly productive linebacker. First, Wright III suffered from a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee then he suffered a sprain in his right foot. Wright III returned for Arizona’s bowl game against the University of New Mexico where he picked up right where he left off, making fifteen tackles, 3.5 for a loss, and two sacks. At the combine Wright posted 22 reps on the bench and a 4.9 forty yard dash. Will Scooby continue to be a ball seeking missle in the NFL and boom? Or will his lack of athletic ability and injury history cause him to flame out and bust?Why Wright III will Boom for the Browns:Whatever Wright III lacks in size he makes up for with instincts and determination. Wright III was a fun player to watch in his college days, always being able to be around the ball. At times it seemed like he was in the opponents huddle with how quickly he was able to break to the ball without the slightest hesitation. A former two star recruit, Wright III has always played with a massive chip on his shoulder, which will likely carry into the NFL after falling late into the seventh round. Due to Wright III’s instincts, he is able to cover up his lack of natural athletic ability . Scooby might be the most passionate football player in this draft with all the drive and competitive fire coaches desire.Why Wright III will Bust for the Browns:At 6’1” Scooby is a little on the smaller size. His injury history is something to be concerned with moving forward as well. Scooby is already not the biggest guy on the field, so going up against the big boys of the NFL every week make me wonder if Scooby will be able to last for a 16 game season. The drive and passion Wright III possesses is great, but he must do a better job of playing with control. Scooby’s aggressive nature and lack of control are often the reasons he ends up on the ground. Scooby relies heavily on his instincts so when he guesses wrong he leaves his designated area wide open for running backs to run through. The main thing that can hold Wright III back is his athletic ability. Scooby is just an average athlete and if that proves to be a problem in the NFL, Wright III will be doomed to bust.Will Wright III boom or bust?This was my favorite pick in the entire draft. Wright III is not an athlete, he is a football player and he has always found a way to be successful. His 2014 season did not happen by accident, it happened because Wright III was the best linebacker in the country despite his athletic ability. Sure there are things he can do better in the NFL, but there are also things he does that cannot be taught. Wright III’s competitiveness and instincts outweigh his lack of athletic ability. Scooby Wright III compares to seven time pro bowler Zach Thomas in that they both had questionable size and athletic ability concerns despite being massively productive in college. I would not be shocked if Scooby splits time at middle linebacker to start the season, and eventually takes over one of the middle linebacker spots on a full time basis by seasons end. I do not think it is completely out of the question to think Scooby can be in the running for the defensive rookie of the year award. Wright III has a legitimate chance to be the steal of this entire draft. I think Wright III booms in a big way in the NFL. -
Scooby needs a year or two more in the weightroom then i think he has a shot at starting

A team has to have stars, playmakers, guys for the young guys to aspire to hang with and fit in with. THIS is why the Steelers and Pats aren't really affected that much by losing players. When they bring in a new guy, there are leaders there to help them assimilate. We had the #2 and #32 pick and didn't come away a top player.
This is not how you build a team.
I agree. What i hope they've done though is accumulate higher picks for themselves down the road. That's not always bad. If you think a particular draft class doesn't have the guys for you, there's nothing wrong in trading back and stockpiling for later years. That's where it gets hard for me to criticize because we're fans after all. Sure we want that one top stud but if in a particular year we can trade back so we have ammo to go after someone else in the future..than who knows. We don't know if that's what they've done. Like you know I wanted Bosa bad, but if they can't put a decent team around some of these guys the chances of retaining them "in cleveland" are slim to none. You have to build a decent base of players first and then go get elite talent to fill in the biggest needs.
But we can't "keep" passing on elite talent. But this isn't even year one yet with this new regime so we'll see. We just don't know.
-
All you have to do, is start building your team with leaders/football players/mentors/character guys
who kick ass playing the game because they love it.
Once you start that, it's easy to build on it.
Trouble is, the Browns in the past never started it.

So you'd move one of the league's premier edge-rushers inside for most of his plays. Not feeling the logic there.
Neither it appears are the Pack who can't wait to get CM, Jr. back outside.
Why Wright III will Boom for the Browns:
Due to Wright III’s instincts, he is able to cover up his lack of natural athletic ability .Why Wright III will Bust for the Browns:... he must do a better job of playing with control.Will Wright III boom or bust?I have no argument with the pick, but it does strike me that relying on instincts is at odds with playing under control.

Not really, to me. They're making the point that it was his instincts that allowed him to be productive, and he was reading right 8 or 9 times out of 10; but he wasn't tempering himself meaning the 1 or 2 times he's wrong, he completely over-pursues and gives up a big play.
At least, that's the general logic - not sure if it necessarily applies to Rooby.

Don't see how you "temper yourself" two times out of ten. If you knew which two times to do so, then those reads would have to have been correct.

Actually, the Browns have done their share of that:
A. They got Tashaun Gipson as a UDFA and he became a Pro Bowler.
B. They also took a Kent State walk on and made him one of the best kick returners/special teams players ever: Josh Cribbs.
C. They took a RB in the 8th round......Hall of Fame: Leroy Kelly
D. Gene Hickerson and Bobby Mitchell were both 7th rounders.
E. Ernest Byner: 10th round.
This doesn't even mention the quadruple Free Agents: Groza,Motley, Gatski, Willis that they signed to begin the franchise that went undrafted by the NFL.
But...sure, Khalil Mack would look good here.

I don't know enough about him to know if he is likable or not. He is just too small, slow and weak. C'mon man, you know what NFL linebackers look like. This kid is going to be so badly outclassed, it will be embarrassing.
He is Rudy Ruttiger.
Too small, slow and weak. Ergo, he reminds me of Jack Lambert....who was all of those coming out of Kent St. Maybe he will be somewhere in between Lambert and Rudy.
However small slow and weak he was, he had enough apparently to win the College defensive player of the year award....over bigger, faster, stronger guys.
We shall see.
As I said, I hope he does well....and if he gives us anything it will be a pure bonus for a 7th round pick.
But a Mentor,Tutor is still a no-no. Right? So if we only Assimilate the world is good
