Great inside look at our draft
-
No denying that if you discount the Texans' 2018 1st to 2nd's value on the chart, then it was the first trade we've "lost". But...
IF HOU's was the only offer on the table AND Peppers was the next name on our board, then we won.

2017 NFL Draft: Teams that added most talent (1-8)
Which teams did the best job of adding talent in the 2017 NFL Draft?
We set out to answer that question using NFL.com senior analyst Gil Brandt's Hot 150 prospect rankings as the unit of measurement.
Points were assigned to each draftee based on where he ranked in Brandt's Hot 150. The No. 1-rated prospect received 150 points, the No. 2 prospect received 149 points, etc.
Here's how the teams stacked up, using Brandt's rankings as the guide.
1. Cleveland Browns
Score: 665 points (9 players)
The skinny: It's no surprise to see the Browns atop this list given that they picked three players in Round 1, but they found value in later rounds, as well, helping them to this landslide victory. They added nine players from the Hot 150 -- no other team had more than six.
The players (points):
No. 1: Myles Garrett (150)
No. 21: Gerbil Peppers (130)
No. 29: David Njoku (122)
No. 33: DeShone Kizer (118)
No. 92: Roderick Johnson (59)
No. 132: Howard Wilson (19)
No. 139: Larry Ogunjobi (12)
No. 146: Zane Gonzalez (5)2. New Orleans Saints
Score: 522 points (5 players)
The skinny: The Saints finish a distant second, but they did very well for themselves, joining the Browns and Steelers as the only teams to add five prospects from Brandt's top 100.
The players (points):
No. 4: Marshon Lattimore (147)
No. 19 Ryan Ramczyk (132)
No. 38: Marcus Williams (113)
No. 79: Alvin Kamara (72)
No. 93: Alex Anzalone (58)3. New York Jets
Score: 453 points (5 players)
The skinny:
The players (points): The Jets' investment in its secondary and pass-catching corps paid off handsomely.
No. 5: Jamal Adams (146)
No. 44: Marcus Maye (107)
No. 71: ArDarius Stewart (80)
No. 74: Jordan Leggett (77)
No. 108: Chad Hansen (43)4. Washington Redskins
Score: 443 points (5 players)
The skinny: The Redskins found great value in Allen, taking him 17th overall (he was Brandt's No. 7-ranked prospect), and doubled-down on Alabama defenders with the selection of Anderson in Round 2.
The players (points):
No. 7: Jonathan Allen (144)
No. 49: Ryan Anderson (102)
No. 65: Samaje Perine (86)
No. 87: Jeremy Sprinkle (64)
No. 104: Fabian Moreau (47)5. Baltimore Ravens
Score: 438 points (5 players)
The skinny: While it might not have the star power of some other top classes, the Ravens join the Browns, Saints and Chargers as the only teams to land at least three players from Brandt's top 50. Like the Redskins, they also opted to double-down on Crimson Tide defenders (Humphrey and Williams).
The players (points):
No. 43: Marlon Humphrey (108)
No. 47: Tim Williams (104)
No. 48: Chris Wormley (103)
No. 68: Tyus Bowser (83)
No. 111: Nico Siragusa (40)6 (tie). Jacksonville Jaguars
Score: 420 points (5 players)
The skinny: Jacksonville addressed most of its top needs and landed a great value in Robinson (who went 34th overall), who can help clear holes for top pick Fournette.
The players (points):
No. 2: Leonard Fournette (149)
No. 15: Cam Robinson (136)
No. 75: Dawuane Smoot (76)
No. 98: Dede Westbrook (53)
No. 145: Jalen Myrick (6)6 (tie). Los Angeles Chargers
Score: 420 points (4 players)
The skinny: The Chargers are one of four teams to land at least three players from Brandt's top 50, with King in Round 5 serving as a potential steal.
The players (points):
No. 23: Mike Williams (128)
No. 41: Forrest Lamp (110)
No. 50: Dan Feeney (101)
No. 70: Desmond King (81)8. Seattle Seahawks
Score: 419 points (6 players)
The skinny: Seattle cracks the top 8 despite not picking in Round 1, and they are the highest-ranked team of those who made the playoffs last season. They made six picks in Rounds 2-3, and all but one of those selections cracked Brandt's Hot 150.
The players (points):
No. 45: Malik McDowell (106)
No. 54: Ethan Pocic (97)
No. 59: Tedric Thompson (92)
No. 94: Shaquill Griffin (57)
No. 110: Nazair Jones (41)
No. 125: Amara Darboh (26)Over 140 points between 1st and 2nd.
Paper Stats looking good, let's see how it plays out.

Gil Brandt tweeted. . .
Browns added 9 players from my Hot 150 (Nos. 1, 21, 29, 33, 92, 132, 139, 146). No other team had more than 6.

Well, we have been here before...supposedly getting 6 of the top 100 prospects in the 2014 draft. But that didn't work out so well. Gilbert/JFF/Terence West/Desir all became shite pretty much. Only Bito and Kirksey remain.
So...lets wait and see.

We got 5(not 6), inside the top 100.......2 very good ones out of 5 is actually an excellent hit rate(and the best we've seen in years)..(40%)..(well above league average).....and, while they didnt help the Browns long term, both Desir and West are still viable players that we gave up on (too?)quickly....which means 4 outta 6 total picks are viable NFLers going onto year 4....

How often would Njoku be lining up next to JT? He will get to know him then....because I suspect that if The Joker does not do his job right JT will be taking a bite out of his ass. JT may ride the Joker so hard in fact that he may turn to JT and ask this question:
