    Yeah.. I find most if not all religions directly linked to creative charlatan bullshit pretty much..... I believe in a higher force if you will.. But God is no old man in the sky.... I find religion to be the imminent tool of mind control over the masses and nothing more..

    So I haven't moved on to the Wisconsin tape yet but my early thought is this - much like the Gmen pick with Jones, I can kind of see 'why' we went in this direction.    But I question the need for where the pick was made.  

  • John Dorsey just got us Greedy Williams deep in the 2nd round. Yes, John didn't exactly cast a spell on the rest of the league to make that happen...although im starting to wonder if there isn't some kind of druid shit going on here at this point...but srsly, I think we can cut Dorsey some slack. I was "highly" critical of some of the defensive cuts we made after preseason last year....and I do think they had some small part to play in why we didn't make the playoffs. That being said...…….Im over it. Look at what that fucker has built in this offseason. OBJ, Vernon, Richardson, Hunt....and ofc Baker last year which is the crucial piece, and now we get Greedy Williams to go with Denzel Ward....Minnefield/Dixon pt 2 perhaps. Srsly guys. Pinch your buttholes tight this has never happened for the Browns.

    I’m a Dorsey fan for sure but let’s acknowledge he got lucky with Greedy (hopefully). A lot of other teams who wanted CB’s had him way down the board. Certainly still glad we got him at 49. As far as Takitaki he may be a great Lb talent but there is little doubt he could have been grabbed on day 3. There were at least 2 solid 1/2 round safeties left on the board. This was Wolfe’s pick and he’s out on a limb with it. That said I hope they make me look like a doubting idiot and he’s a perennial pro bowler ?

    This kid is a "head-scratcher" for sure but may be another Eliot Wolf find. Eliot has been acknowledged at finding sleepers in the draft. This kid turned things around in his life & has definitely trended upward recently (much like our Browns). When I looked, his 1st 2 years kept his stats down. Knock those off & he looked pretty good. WOULD he have lasted until the late rounds, or may some other war room have seen what the Browns have & decided to strike sooner?

    Time will tell, but I'm just trying to keep an open mind & look at it through the Brown's eyes.

  • Let's judge him after two or three seasons not 15 minutes after he was selected

    But then you take away the fun of it, may as well shut down the thread. The idea is to judge him now.

    Dorsey judged him now, scouts, the "experts", so why not we fans?  Don't forget, each team will be graded ABCDF after the draft...another judgement call.

    In two or three years is when we find out if our judgements were correct, and if the teams "grade" reflected their draft.

    What is amusing is the people who are making these picks are paid $$$$$$ to make them, if we all could do better we would be in jobs doing it 🙂 ....

    We should all apply for the next available GM job that comes up and we can show our board draft on our resume and the posts we have made regarding picks

    Clearly Dorsey has a theme with his linebackers: 2 name guys. First he signed Ray Ray, and now Takitaki. I will henceforth refer to him as Taki squared.

  • Yes, but the religion started in upstate New York.

    See my avatar, not all  are  stupid:

     Dudeism advocates and encourages the practice of "going with the flow", "being cool", and "taking it easy" in the face of life's difficulties, believing that this is the only way to live in harmony with our inner nature and the challenges of interacting with other people. It also aims to assuage feelings of inadequacy that arise in societies which place a heavy emphasis on achievement and personal fortune. Consequently, simple everyday pleasures like bathing, bowling, and hanging out with friends are seen as far preferable to the accumulation of wealth and the spending of money as a means to achieve happiness and spiritual fulfillment.[15]

    Make a bet right now Mack Wilson starts as our MLB over anyone else on this team by opening day. Bama does not start untalented players in important key positions on defense and they are NFL ready when they leave Saban coached teams. He will understand the defensive schemes from day one.

    . He was briefly kicked off the team after being involved in a dorm fight before his freshman year. However, his teammates voted him back onto the team, .......... though he was suspended again later for one game after skipping a practice. Takitaki was suspended again to start his sophomore campaign after he allegedly stole property while working as a campus custodian. He reached a plea deal in the case, but was suspended for the second half of that season for violating team rules

    ...would "Free Spirit"  be too kind of a description?

    Trey depriest??? Started for two years never made an NFL squad. Adrian Hubbard starter for bama in 2012 leading them in sacks tfl and forced fumbles but never made a roster. Reggie ragland is starting to play well in his second season and was a 2nd round pick starting linebacker from Alabama and he didn't even start his first year sitting behind Preston brown and tanner Vallejo. Reuben foster very talented but can't get on the field for off field issues. To say mack will be starting year one for us because he went to Alabama is a bit over the top. I'll take that bet. Note I do really like the pick despite this post. Just think it's a bit presumptuous to say he will start on opening day simply because he went to bama
