    How can anyone know....since we won't know who our DC will be?   If they do not keep Williams as HC...then everything is up in the air.

    Fair to say?

    I've only watched a handful of games on each if these guys, but this is how I see them as of today.

    Simmons, Brown, and Oliver are top notch prospects.

    Williams, Tillery, and Jones have special talent but need work.

    Wilkins, Lawerence, and Davis feel like they benefited from the other talent on their lines. They feel more like rotational/role players.

    I think Gary is a DE/ edge rusher

    I think Gary will shift inside

    Another Michifucker without a true position to play?  Can't we get a real player?

    Exactly....all these  Michitweeners who can't really fill a position?  All chirp...no chomp.

  • Saw a few tweets relative to this thread. Edge rushers aren’t going  anywhere of course but thought it was interesting nonetheless

  • Taking away interior pressure is a different animal and incredibly difficult to do as opposed to edge defenders.   When you face somebody that strong, fast, technique sound and moves all over the formation....   It's the most challenging thing for a QB because they have no pocket to step up into.   You generally have to win with either talent or adjusting your passing and running game to slow down that first step.

  • I think Dre' Mont Jones would be a great pick. Dorsey doesn't seem to mind bringing in buckeyes. He looked good with Bosa. Garrett, Jones, Ojunobi and Ogbah would be nasty!

  • A AP1

    Is it fair to say that the apparent strength of this draft coincides with one of the Browns biggest needs? 

    And the draft capital to get the one they want.

    There are enough that we probably don't need to move up, but who knows?

    But if it's White we want from LSU as ILB as our 1st-it will require a moveup.

  • Jeffrey Simmons, the first prospect on the list from Mississippi State, looks like an athletic force in the middle. 

    Derrick Brown from Auburn, who looks as much like a freak LB as he does a lineman, made some impressive plays for the Tigers:

    Quinnen Williams, apparently a “the best d-lineman and top 3 draft pick “

    Christian Wilkins: this guy can flat out play, and looks similar to Quinnen Williams with his size and athleticism. 

    Dexter Lawrence, at 6’5”, 350, is just a brick wall to insert into the lineup: 

  • (Continued from page 1 post on DTs)

    And last, but certainly not least, Ed Oliver. A polarizing prospect. With great feet and explosive strength, not great length(6’3 290). My only concern is the weaker competition that Houston played, you can see the whole O-Line blown up on some these highlights.

    Around the 3:40 mark, you’ll see an impressive display of athleticism from Oliver, who looks VERY twitchy.
