    He is on the smaller size for a DE.

    Definite LB at next level... and was listed as LB everywhere else I found him.

    By and large I did not think RBs were over-drafted this year... at least most were not significantly so.

    One may be Taylor to Indy in early 2nd, but that's only if his fumble issues continue and if his hands don't get softer. Rivers is used to having good set of receiving RBs in LAC. That's two sizeable "ifs" for a Round 2 guy.

    Biggest overreach to my eye looks to be Dillon to GB late in the 2nd. Guy was nowhere near that highly graded on most of the reference sites at which I looked , e.g., DraftScout had him as a 4th. However, an even bigger issue looks to be scheme fit.

    I was on Dillon early for us, but then read a couple accounts about his lack of fit for WZS offenses... that he was not a decisive, read and one-cut RB, but rather a guy who needed a hole to be where it was supposed to be, i.e. a man/gap/power game RB. And LeFleur is definitely a WZS disciple.

    Dillon is an absolute animal though. He'd be a great compliment to a shiftier guy

  • Apparently we like AJ Green a lot!

    At least enough to outbid someone else...

    Browns give undrafted CB A.J. Green a whopping bonus to sign

    The Cleveland Browns signed A.J. Green to a record-setting deal. No, not that A.J. Green…

    This A.J. Green is a cornerback from Oklahoma State who went undrafted in the 2020 draft. Green signed with the Browns after the draft for an unprecedented amount of guaranteed money in his UDFA contract. Per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Browns gave Green a $145,000 guarantee.

    That’s the highest figure ever reported for an undrafted player fresh after the draft. The figures are unofficial until the deal is actually signed.

    https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2020/04/26/browns-give-undrafted-cb-a-j-green-a-whopping-bonus-to-sign/

    Hope we signed our other UDFAs first... 😮

    I thought the same thing. Maybe he can drop 10 or 15lbs to improve his top end speed.

    I would take a flyer on Benito Jones DT Ole Miss and Nick Coe Edge Auburn. Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001111597/article/top-undrafted-rookie-free-agents-following-the-2020-nfl-draft

    Offense

    • My darkhorse-QB, Gordon, signed with Seattle.
    • Doesn't have Herrien signed with us?
    • Mack and Victor signed with NYG.
    • Vandy TE, Pinlney, signed with ATL.
    • Our OT, Tatlor, isn't even listed?

    Defense

    • LSU's Divinity is still out there... ?
    • Tour last-round, sim-fav Benito is still there? Agree, Ag... why not?
    • Thought MSU-LB, Bachie, would be picked up by now.
    • Safties Reed (UGA) and Dorn (UNC) have both been signed... I was really surprised Reed wasn't drafted.
    • Doesn't have CB, AJ Green signed with us?

    Do we have a paperwork problem? I know that worked well for us one-upon-a-time, but...

  • For Divinity it may be character stuff. I'd take him just because of the experience he has with our other two rookies.

  • Reddit poster found a George Obinna highlight reel on IG...

    https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_VHUxZpqD2/?igshid=m3wxtvlyanxq

    Poster also mentioned that he did not start playing football until his Sr year of HS.

    I just took a few minutes to watch Obinna’s highlight video, and holy hell he looks like a man among boys. If OLinemen are lard asses, that dude is a boiling hot enema. 

  • I pulled Nate Wieting’s name out of a hat and did a little poking around the web. He’s our UDFA TE from Iowa. I found a cut up of a game he played against USC. Posted below.

    I’m not sure why this is the one game someone picked to highlight him. I wonder if a jaded ex girlfriend made it or something. His pass blocking doesn’t look good. Run blocking maybe slightly better. I counted he was 1 for 2 on catches. I’m simply not sure what exactly he does well.

    Edit: at least he recovered the fumble he caused.

  • Roster 90 maybe in flux for a bit.. but the DBN reported counts look right..just not all have spotrac'd signed yet.. 75 on roster plus 15 UDFA's= hits 90 allowed..from the 2 sites..we need to figure out if Memphis-LB-Austin Hall has committed? OR Liberity-S-Elijah Benson has? were 1 off from 2 sites

    Browns OC/QB coach Alex Van Pelt..I had forgotten that he was still on the Bengals coaching staff coaching the South at the Senior Bowl...TE-Harrison Bryant//OT-Alex Taylor//and CB-AJ Green all played on the South Team..  still udfa..DT Benito Jones was also in the South room with Van Pelt...  

  • 145k may have been higher than UDFA before this year; however, it was only the 3rd highest given to a UDFA this season.

    Top 5 this season, each of which is likely a record over prior seasons

    Jacksonville Jaguars: cornerback Lui Barcoo - $180K
    New England Patriots: linebacker Skuta Harris - $150K
    Dallas Cowboys: cornerback Ron'Dell Carter - $145K
    Cleveland Browns: cornerback A.J. Green - $145K

    Interesting. I wonder if this will be a new norm, or signs of what a deep draft it was, or if this is pandemic related?

    maybe the new CBA.

  • Article on Alex Taylor. The author is high on the OT UDFA from SC State. He apparently is a tall long armed drink of water. Best line from the article:

    “Taylor is as raw as sashimi, but guys with his wingspan, strength, and mobility all rolled into one don't come around often.”
