Browns Board Mock Draft
-
Having completed the Browns portion of the Mock Draft.....I readily admit that I went heavy on the Linebackers....as a area of major need. A couple, I think could contribute...Harrison and Willie Gay. The 7th round guy would be ST/PS guy likely, though theoretically he could have been a major bargain. . I do think I got the OT we need in Wirfs. He was rated To 1,2,3 in several services I looked at....and recall, a couple of OTs were taken ahead of where I drafted (Andrew Thomas was gone). I do think I got a safety and that MLB we need (Winfield/Harrison)
Draftek had Winfield ranked #41 overall, and CBS had him #42 overall. I picked him at #41. I took Malik Harrison at #74. Draftek had him #52 overall. CBS had him #87. But I also got Willie Gay Jr. at #115....and Draftek had him as the #86 best prospect (one ahead of Harrison) . Got some help in the middle of the line with Robert Hunt OG/OC with #97. WR Kalija Lipscomb, round 6...can compete for backup WR role. Last pick is a LB that I got for #244...but Draftek rated him #113. Kind of all over the place.
Don't know where else I could have gone. We "only" had 7 picks in this draft......some teams has double that. It would have been nice for the Browns to have had a couple more. Maybe get another OT.

This is like an onion made out of irony and I appreciate that

Not sure I follow. We need LBs, so I went for them.

It is irony in many layers
You drafted a lot of LBs and:
- You didn't know what LB position distinctions were
- LBs are considered to be less important now. Like RBs on defense
- They're more of an old school football team and you love living in the past on that stuff
It just fits on so many levels

Now you are just showing your ignorance. LInebackers still make most of the tackles.
And you are contradicting yourself.....if LB are so less important...then why does it matter what the distinctions are between them.

That is all very stupid. I am sorry.
The idea that distinguishing between weak, middle and strong side LBs means they're important is hilarious
The idea that "more tackles = more important" is hilarious

Well..you are very stupid...and you are a sorry sack of shit.

Distinguishing between them is important.........but thinking that calling them Henry, Willie and Sam is important is total gooberism. I mean....why is it important to channel fucking Herman's Hermits songs when talking about them?
Second verse, same as the first.
The idea that "more tackles = more important" is hilarious
Now, I can't tell if you are trying to be sarcastic......or if you are just really being a Jethro. In case you had not heard, making tackles IS very important in the NFL....because if a tackle is not made, that means that the other team has scored a touchdown. And it is important to trying to win to prevent the other team from scoring TDs by tackling them. Or...hadn't you heard? Seventeen of the Top 20 leading tacklers in the NFL were linebackers. (but, according to you they are not important)

Saying that LBs make the most tackles is as insightful as saying RBs get the most rushing yards.

Well....precisely....and the analogy Woody is using would be saying that RBs are not important to the rushing game.

Our Board draft is over. Free to merge all the pick threads together. I would ask perhaps that the Pick/team/position threads continue to be pinned until at least a couple of days until after the "real draft"....so that we can compare and contrast how we did here to the real draft.
