The Combine
-
Personally, I don't use the mixes. IMHO, V8 is a good choice & celery salt is a MUST. If you don't like Tabasco, try Frank's Red Hot. It's flavorful but not real hot. Another option is to add a little beef broth. You can get real creative, but I LOVE the horseradish.
BTW, if using a thick tomato juice, do not stir, but ROLL the drink between 2 glasses so as not to break down the consistency of the juice yet blend the flavors well.
Too many large group of card playing nights & a wife that spoils me, lead me to some bloody convenience. Demitri's Classic bloody mary mix is a time saver..(there pepperoni straws are killer) youtube demitri's or the wife orders different demitri's mixers from amazon..(ingredients labels on site) i think there is 4 types? My after sleep, Bloody Mary number is their 'Classic'. Now again am spoiled on demitri's, but ya can't go wrong using V8 & adding your own idea's..wife prefers a dash of A1 steak sauce over the heartburn of horseradish or worstershire..1 card player even prefers soy/teriyaki sauce.(yuck!).good luck & hollar if ya need..their bacon salt is tasty also. go light salt on rim
We need a "mixology" thread...
Thanks guys... I'm taking notes.

3 best Aggies this year listed by best for Browns first. All are coming out a year early.
Eric McCoy - Center - I think he is going to be a very good pro center for some lucky team. Or even a G since he has excellent pulling skills. The one A&M player I think could contribute to the Browns the most if we could pick him up around the 3rd rd.
Jace Sternberger - TE - He will be very similar to our own 3rd year TE Njoku but better hands to start out his rookie season. (I liked Njoku's progress this year in that area).
Trey Williams RB - Leading SEC rusher in 2018 and broke all time A&M single season rushing record - great vision and follows his blocking very well - quick through any crease and very decent after contact yards. Good hands. Very similar to our own 3rd down RB Johnson. The write up on him in the article above is very outdated. Major jump from 2017 to 2018 under far better coaching. Less than 1000 yds R/R in 2017 to over 2000 this year.

Why should we care until and unless we draft them?

There were some here who cared when I brought attention to Myles Garrett when he was a freshman at A&M. There are several here who actually want to keep up with the draft BEFORE the draft. If that isn't you then just don't read it. I'm speculating on the Center from A&M as a guy who could help us down the line.

I'd love to add another nice talent at TE to go with Njoku.

Garret was the projected #1 pick in the draft. The Browns had the #1 pick in the draft.....so certainly we cared about him for that reason.
Where do these other guys project? Any of them in the mix for the #17 pick? That would be the only reason to single them out.

Yes, seriously. Why should we care about potential Texas A&M prospects any more than Texas prospects, or Texas Tech prospects, or Texas Christian prospects....or, you name the school.
Give us a list of the priority needs of the Browns, and which prospects may fit those needs who may be available when the Browns pick, regardless of college.
Hell...for all I know there may be a couple of Akron U players that could be draftable prospects. Maybe we should highlight them.

And the one I mentioned among the 3 top players is a center, an area of need. But you ignored what I said. Walter Football and Draftek both have him rated the 2nd best overall center in the draft and likely 2-3 round pick. If he is there in the 3rd I think we go after him. If either of the other two becomes BPA, then we need to look at them. They are both about 4-5th round picks and may move up after combine/pro days.

Why do you think that center is an area of need? JC Tretter is a fine center....and comes from a school that we both have a connection to: Cornell. (didn't you say your wife went there?). Maybe we need a backup center......but I am not for taking a backup center in the 2/3 round area. 6/7 maybe.
And maybe we should be looking at this guy for depth at a position of need: pass rush. Maybe he is the next Jason Taylor? He will be at the combine:

? Tretter is still under contract with Kalis backing up. After taking Corbett last year, just don't see a need yet to start grooming another center. Playing with an ankle sprain majority of the year without missing a snap, tretter had a good year.

He plays center but is one of those versatile guys Dorsey likes who has the speed and agility to play pulling guard if that is where we need him more. He is excellent at taking out LBs in downfield blocking. However it would not surprise me if Cincy gets him before we have a chance since his OL coach just got hired for that position there.

How about we discontinue any discussion about him until and unless the Browns draft him

Miss.St. DT Jeffery Simmons (a top 25 prospect) & WR Colorado St. Preston Williams fail Combine background check & get no Combine invite..Williams pleaded guilty to harassing a women, court date differed. Simmons was arrested in 2016 for Physical altercation with women..The List of 335 should be out next week. Lot of juniors coming out this year. could be a lot of unhappy campers waiting on Pro Days?

Today, we have found our 3rd invite, now dis-invited due to failing background check..Your all time NCAA sack leader La.Tech DE Jaylon Ferguson, chooses to fight at local McDonald's?. per nfl.com "Ferguson was convicted of simple battery his freshman year at Tech following a fight at McD's. And, If a background check reveals a conviction of a felony or misdemeanor involving violence he can be dis-invited"...Ferguson also received a public intoxication charge while in college ..Teams are said to be lining up for Ferguson's Pro Day date..(perfect, feed them Happy Meals

#73 Joe Thomas will join the crew from NFL Network Day 1, on the field to observe the OL drills.. that won't suck ?
A football player got into a fight? Not exactly "man bites dog."
I mean where is the line? Fought as a Frosh then nothing for a couple years after that? Hardly the habitual criminal...

Dunno, gum... he liked both Cam and Shon...

Most recent article on him says Buffalo wants him in front of Josh Allen directing their OL and he goes early 2nd to them. He actually never played C until A&M. Was primarily a G and OT in HS. They switched him there to direct the OL and act as a pulling center on some of their running plays which was of course in front of the leading rusher in the SEC.
The reason he is up for discussion is the same reason we discuss other possible Browns choices even if we don't end up drafting them. It's the same reason I have brought up Devin White, ILB from LSU. He could meet a real need and I expect a stellar career from him just as I do McCoy.
I will be identifying others as we get closer to draft day as will other posters here. That's just how we fill the time until draft so people have a better idea of what kinds of players we would want to look closely at before we actually draft anyone. That's how it works so don't read it if you don't like it.
