Daniel Jeremiah@MoveTheSticksThe Browns are lucky to have John Dorsey. He's outstanding. However, Dorsey is lucky to have the Browns too. This is a GM's dream job. So many high draft picks, some good pieces in place, nowhere to go but up...MoreThe Browns are lucky to have John Dorsey. He's outstanding. However, Dorsey is lucky to have the Browns too.

A. The Browns would need an OLB...not an MLB....so, if Smith is strictly an MLB...then true....that is not a priority position.
B. Minkah is primarily...I believe would be a CB....basically the "cover corner" that we need. Right now, Peppers is at FS....and I don't know if he is all that at that position. He may be better off at SS. So, yes, we would still need an FS. I have said all along that we need 2 Top DBs to come out of these picks. If we get CB Minkah at #4....then get a...hopefully...good FS in round 2.
Right now we have Nakua and Kindred at Safety. If we can upgrade from them....but have them as backups....that would be better.
1. I'm a fan of bringing in anyone if they are an upgrade but we paid Kirksey and Collins some serious coin. Kirksey could move to the middle but Schobert looked pretty good. I think we would be better off picking someone else but this scenario is never going to happen.
2. If we'e talking corners i would have Fitzpatrick as the 3rd corner. I wouldn't hate the pick but Josh Jackson is my pick at 4.
3. Safety is a pretty ugly position this year. Armani Watts is my hands down favorite but I admit I need to do some more digging. Even in free agency the only person I like is Boston. I've been thinking maybe trying McCourty at FS. His play style looks like a decent fit and his brother could give him some pointers.

I agree....both Kirksey and Collins I think are more natural as MLBs....but Schobert performed well. So...as I said...if are to go for a LB...it would need to be a natural OLB
2. If we'e talking corners i would have Fitzpatrick as the 3rd corner. I wouldn't hate the pick but Josh Jackson is my pick at 4.
Most of the "pundits/analysts" have Minkah rated higher.....as from what I have seen/heard....the other team almost NEVER goes to his side of the ball. People say "he has a quiet game"...but that is because he has been like Darell Revis in his prime...no one ever attacks him. On the other hand...Jackson certainly has had a good college career...and certainly is in consideration....so no real problem there if that is the way the Brown go.

Bottom line: FS is an issue for this team....and something needs to be done.

It wouldn't even be a debate, not even close. People can say that the Eagles this and the Eagles that, but when it comes down to it people are going to be talking about that dawg Saquon and his Breezy young QB.
Imagine if Josh Gordon is on a whole new level, one of self preservation and dedication to perfecting his craft. Imagine if Gordon had a guy like Adrian Peterson to take away some of the attention. The Browns would no longer be a laughing stock or a check marked "W" before the game. The Browns would be a feared team, loathed by defensive coordinators and respected within their division.
When our young WRs and TEs see Barkley's work ethic and his dedication they will take notice. Most notably Coleman. Coleman is young and unsure of himself right now. Having a young guy like Barkley come in would give Coleman somebody to lean on, to help him grow. I see Coleman making the Biggest jump we've see and to start maturing quickly.
Actually, yeah.
QB- Mayfield
RB- Barkley/Johnson
FB- Flowers
TE- Njoku/Valve
WR- Gordon/Coleman/Kirk/Cobbs
We've drafted heavy on the Defensive side for the last couple of years. They are pretty good on defense.

Guess Holton Hill is finally getting the respect he deserves.

Would turn the Browns into a legitimate threat. Young, talented and hungry on both offense and defense. Hopefully our new special teams coach can put together a killer unit that will capitalize on field position.

Buckle up for a disaster, kids.
I seriously cannot think of a more Brownish move that could be made than to take Barkley #1 and Mayfield #4.
A+ for believability.

I have seen this name so many times on here (from multiple people) and I am not on here nearly as much as most.
GOFF. What did I miss??? The Browns didn't pass on Goff. The Browns had the 2nd pick that season, and he was drafted 1st. Had the Browns not traded to PHI, they still didn't PASS ON GOFF.
They were in position to get Goff with a move.
They were in position to get Goff with a move.
Yes, and then any team in any situation is in that position.
So you see they didn't PASS ON him. To pass, you have to have had the opportunity right in front of you.
Gosh, you want to whine and say they suck at everything that you make stuff up. You just figure you can and nobody will challenge you. You then have to try and change the narrative to fit your "truth"

Would you long time Brown's fans think Brown's would have been better off if they would have simply hired Kiper or McShay to oversee your last few drafts? If yes, how so?

how can both best players on the board sit several picks? cause they are simply both advertising billboards to their TV networks..good non-fictional character money if ya can get it..former GM's get my attention, most show why they carry the title.. former

We're marginal at defense, especially in the secondary. You'll be happy to know Walter Football has your first round dream draft up. Though I take Mayfield #1, Barkley #4.

The Giants and Colts dont need QB, but they could take Barkely. Eli/ Barkely or Luck/Barkely.
By taking QB 4 youre almost assured at getting Mayfield.

Barkley is the most desired player in this draft. If the Browns don't take him at #1, he will go #2.

They are saying Barkley is the best back to come out of college since AP ....better than Gurley, Zeke and Fournette.
Nobody knows what the Browns will look to do until after free agency and even then it will still be guess work...... if we get Cousins for example a QB is off the radar in this draft

I think you are being naive, honestly, and I don't mean to be insulting. I believe it is foolish to think that the hiring of Dorsey is going to in any way affect the drafting behavior of the Browns.There is a mindset with this team, and I believe it is a combination of left over hate for Modell, certain ex-Browns like Dieken having the ear of the owner, and a media that joins in the Modell hate in believing that it was Art's refusal to focus on the OL, and "foundation" players that kept the team from being great.
Argue my belief all you want, but, the graffiti on the wall is there for everyone to see.
Regardless of who the Browns personnel has been, Cleveland drafts since 1999 have followed the same, exact script. Save the Couch pick.
1) Do not draft top rated QBs...........go for the lesser prospects
2) Do not draft to rated WRs, TEs or RB (Green and Richardson were not Barkely or AP caliber)
3) Do not sacrifice for playmakers, instead trade great draft positions down, and take the lesser players, for less money
4) Do not make an impact going after the top FAs, either in trades, or acquisitions.
5) Do not make unexpected moves to trade up, don't try to corner the market and make great leaps.
6) To avoid embarassment of reaching for a superstar who doesn't pan out...........trade down, trade down, trade down.
The 2018 draft will be uneventful (except to you jackoffs who every year rate the Browns draft an A plus because of our cleverness at doing schidt that the rest of the NFL just doesn't understand).
- The Browns will draft the QB they want at #1 - this is a no risk of embarrassment move. (They need a QB, and can't be laughed at if a #1 Bbusts) The Browns will not take a risk, nor attempt anything that is earth shattering. QB at #1.
- Barkely will go #2
- At #4 the Browns will have their thumbs up their assses. They won't see someone they belive warrants a #4 pick, and they will trade down.
Come 2018-19 season, they will be exactly where they are now.
