Comment Thread for 2017 Browns Board Mock...

Taco918

The Seahawks and Chiefs both needed CB help but with only 2 off the board so far, as well as the depth of the position this year, the decided to beef up their front 7s. I was going to go OL for the Seahawks but with the top tackles off the board and their forays into FA, I went with the Brantley out of Florida. The Chiefs would've taken Brantley to help replace Poe but with him off the board and no other DT/NT types ranking high enough, decided to draft the (hopeful) successor to Derrick Johnson at the ILB spot in Zach Cunningham.

Gipper did something really helpful last year where he would put up the best available from round 3 onwards.....

I think he edited the CBS list or such. CBS uses DraftScout.

Here's DraftScout's Top 750: http://www.nfldraftscout.com/members/ratings/top750.php?draftyear=2017&sortby=rateall&order=ASC

And NFL.com's grades: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-grade

Both include embedded links to position lists.

Good man... I hope we get to you...

Flying J has been PM'd...

I'm primed...

Chris is lurking, but it's getting late in GMT.... and I think he loses an hours sleep tonite as well.

Unsympathetic

I'm surprised at:

1) TB taking Foster.. They already have Kwon Alexander and Lavonte David, and somebody comes off the field in nickel situations. If anything they'd take OT [Ramcyzk] or RB [McCaffery] to bolster the offense.

2) McKinley above Thomas

3) Chargers doing anything other than OT.. both Dunlap and Barksdale were horrid. Their top 4 needs are in order: both OT and both OG.

Pretty good start... but it's like 01:30 in UK so might not see Chris tonite... then again Brits can be nite owls...

McMillan was a bit of a reachy, need pick for PTG with the #30, but at least Shazier has an Alum by his side.

Then he has at least two PMs...

Not inclined to hurry at this point... we did not quite get to him and I hesitate to step on 1st round picks.

Plus if Gip takes Sunday off per usual, then we won't get too much further anyway.

Sorry for the delay gents - time difference, lazy sunday morning etc. I'm on it now.

gftChris

Forgot to mention the pats/panthers trade, we need to update that as well.

Now seeing reports Sidney tore his achilles...

Wanna guess who I had penciled in on my card last nite? (and, no, darren, it was not Harris...)

I'll erase and rewrite here in a bit...

PM to Gipper.......................Who was helping him on the weekends?

No one I know of... We can wait for him this early.

I think rounds 1 thru 3 are ones to not step in. We'll ask for a back up plan for this coming weekend.

In fact, I will likely need one myself... as a trip was delayed from Mar 3-5 to Mar 17-19.
