I will say this: I think it is time for the Browns to give up on their boycott of drafting Ohio State defensive players. (have not taken one since Craig Powell in 1995) One of those OSU DBs can help this team.

Any new names added?

No. But maybe they've talked someone into an abortion, had a gangbang, slapped a woman that didn't press charges, driven drunk, beat someone up, crossed lines with women, etc. This is a bunch of selective outrage.

@tiamat63 said:

Not going to speak for War but you have to evaluate talent, draft position and risk. Carl Nassib was a 3rd round pick with some talent, limited NFL skill set, but the Browns hope they can develop him. If Mixon is there in the 3rd round, and he has NFL talent, the Browns will have to decide if his risk is worth it. I personally wouldn't reach for him but I also wouldn't dismiss him in the early 3rd round. Guy is supremely talented.

You wouldn't approve of a lot of the things these players do....

Treat Mixon like any other player.

Do our other players have high profile assault cases against women under their belt? Because if you want me to treat Mixon like Joe Thomas... I may take issue with that line of thinking.

Treat Mixon like any other player.

Absolutely and it was a horrible act. He's super talented and this franchise needs talent.

EXACTLY. You are trying to build a winning team, and a winning lockerroom, why the bullbleep add

a nutcase? Not even as an UDFA

I wouldn't touch that punk with a ten foot pole. Have you seen that video of him punching that girl?

Mike

@baconhound said:

... and won't go before R7, if he's drafted at all... even though it was a 2014 incident... same as Ray Rice's...

The video showed the victim, Amelia Molitor, shoving Mixon and then slapping him. Mixon then punched her in the face, breaking her jaw, eye socket and cheekbone. He received a deferred sentence and community service at the time.

But I will add him to the list...

@atenears said:

.... Just how big do you think Antonio Brown is? Corey Coleman? Eldemen? Golden Tate?

These aren't big bodied receivers you're talking about here. In todays NFL, you can find success in multiple ways.

One player I hope Cleveland does not select before our pick at the top of the 4th round: OSU's Raekwon McMillan

"Sources question McMillan's pass-coverage ability for the NFL, as he has not impressed evaluators in defending the pass. The 6-foot-2, 240-pounder is a quality run defender, but his limitations in pass coverage have many teams projecting him as coming off the field in nickel situations. NFL defenses are now operating out of the nickel around 70 percent of their snaps, so that is a huge chunk of playing time that McMillan is projected to be on the sideline. As a result, sources from multiple teams say they could see McMillan going off the board in the middle of the draft. One team thought he could go in the second, but they had a third-round grade on McMillan. One playoff team said they had a third- or fourth-round grade on him."

Somebody I hope we do pick up, because we need all the pass rushing help we can get: Stanford's Solomon Thomas. He was unblockable in the bowl game. If he's there at the top of the 3rd we should take him with no hesitation.

I'm surprised to hear that, cuz Raekwon is a stud.

Tho the nickel percentage bits is why teams are interested in the peppers type hybrid player

@tiamat63 said:

Yeah, that was a God damn shame. Butts stock took a considerable hit but I've seen him play. Well rounded TE in the Witten mold. He isn't as athletic as some of the other guys but he has good footwork, fluid movement, the right size and great feel for route leverage as a big man.

Even if he wouldn't get to play until mid season, id be happy with investing a solid pick into Jake.

He also has a great attitude and won the Big Ten Senior CLASS award.

And I'd love a browns Butt jersey

Kinda reminds me of Julian Edelman at the pats.

@hoorta said:

If you wouldn't have said it, I was going too. I've been saying that for two seasons, the guy is clutch and tough. Wants the ball in crunch time, will find the seam and sit down, will exploit opponents mistakes .... But SMALL (5'-10", 185). I'm not sure he can compete at the next level. Could help out on special teams as a Punt Returner until ready ... I just hate small receivers in the Pro's.
