Yeah... and the thing was if you watched Dak progress over his final three seasons at MSU, then you could not help but see his worth.

He was the easiest darkhorse pick I've made... and not by a small margin... and perhaps not coincidentally the most successful.

Who did you think they were going for rather than kizer? 

I'm new to it all, only saw that clip of jim brown the other day.

LOL, I would have hoped anybody but. It was like, oh hell, let's roll the dice. Players we could have taken? JuJu Smith WR (Steelers) Pat Eflien C (Vikings). PS we were in need of a center as Erving was a disaster.

I thought the Browns 2017 first round was fine- then Jim Brown announces "Deshone Kizer". It ruined my day...  

I tape both networks, and jump back & forth...

Hey Bill, What WAS that meat the Montagnard Honchos fed us on those wood skewers? I thought it would be rude to ask, but it was always well seasoned, tasty, AND it didn't kill me!

Well let's just say you should be backing Barkley, "Woof woof!"

Well since Mike is a Vietnam Vet, offer him snake soup, duck blood pudding or boiled dog.

Not a lb, but I ALWAYS fresh grind the pepper & double the amount called for. I use pepper like Emeril uses garlic.  

Sure, you can bring yours...I'll just label it, "Sissy Food"!!!

Do they make those in Jerusalem now that Trump moved the capital?

I think you put in a lb of pepper in the last batch - can I bring ours?

I think this year's menu may be simple...Hebrew Natl Hot Dogs with my homemade coney sauce/Bertman's mustard, my buffalo wings, sausage/cheese dip & chips, along with lots of pretzels, Snyders of Berlin BBQ chips (the BEST!), & just "stuff".

I was flying to Korea for part of the draft last year. I bought that in-flight Wifi and got my shitty stream going. 

That first night  though, I'll usually watch with friends at one of our places or a bar.

When it became apparent that the Browns weren't trading up for Goff, or taking Wentz, I figured they would get a developmental guy in the mid-rounds. Prescott was the guy I wanted too, and for a split second I thought they took him, the realized it was Cody Kessler.

I never thought he'd be a decent starting QB from Day 1. I thought he'd be a good backup who might develop into a starting-caliber guy in a few seasons.

Who really wanted Dak Prescot when he came into the draft?  He was a 4th round pick and I thought he would be right around that pick, never thought he would start as well as he did.  Obviously, when Zeke was out, his stats fell.  I'm not saying this to take a shot at you, but I can't imagine why anyone would want this guy to come to the Browns.

I don't think I'll stay on Day 3. Thanks for the info!

I'd pay money for the transcript from the Johnny Manziel draft pick.

A lot of beer with wings and pizza.  Usually bought from a local pizza joint.

over Hamburger Station hamburgers (with all the onions)...back in the old days. Now, I go to a friend's draft party and

plenty of food gets us through all the wondering, guesses and jokes, the first round, and then I watch it at home

with my Wife until we decide to play a video game or cards until the Browns draft again.... With the changes, I believe that

this draft is the key to a dramatic turnaround. They were in a lot of games, a lot of the time. Just....never....won. BIG turnaround.

I wanted Henry, Watson, Prescott, Foster and Tyler Lockett. We have had enough misses on my best picks to turn my stomach nearly every draft.
