<![CDATA[Here is where we are now.]]> Browns are seem to be locked into the 26th Draft position.   When was the last time we drafted that high.  The order behind us could change some depending on outcome of playoff games...but we are at  26.

The Chiefs absolutely defended virtually EVERY play well in the air. They did the exact same thing in 2019 against Stefanski in Minnesota, and it shouldn't have been a surprise to see our attack struggle because we had nobody who could beat man coverage. Most of the time the Chiefs didn't deep cover half of the damn field. Baker made some unbelievable throws against the Chiefs, but we simply didn't get enough possessions when losing turnover battle. We need speed on offense and defense, as well as DTs. 

We're close, boys.

Can you think of a guy we may consider to do that? 

Maybe Billings who opted out this past season would be an in house option. Hopefully Elliot will take a big step forward, didn't see much from him this year either. Maybe Aluaalua from Pittsburgh.

Totally agree, draft should be all defense....outside maybe a backup o lineman.

And maybe a WR. Mid-round.

I think we will move up this year if we have a targeted player in sight.  We have two 3rd rounders and two 4th rounders.


Two 3rd rounders could get us another 2nd round pick.  Two 4th rounders could get us back in to the 3rd round.  I'd be thrilled with a 1st round pick, two 2nd rounders and a 3rd.  No 4th rounders then pick up in the 5th round.  Maybe just do one of those trades, then trade down a bit to pick up some extra for next year.  I like having extra draft picks.

This year is a bit different.  Now is the time to trade up a bit and get impact players to add to whatever we get in free agency.

The Answers are.. What is pick *#26 (the pick the Browns will start at in the 2021 draft) And whom are the *Philadelphia Eagles

In the 2014 NFL draft, your Cleveland Browns owned 2 first round picks.. Pick #4 & Pick #26.. Pick #26 was added from the Colts in a trade for RB Trent Richardson..  

Pick #4 was traded to the Bills to select WR Sammy Watkins.. The Browns slid down to Pick #9, to than trade up one slot to pick at #8 to draft CB Justin Gilbert from the Vikings..

Pick #26 from Indy,was used in a trade up with the Eagles to pick #22 to draft QB Johnny ? to Cleveland..

Imagine if some proper selections had been made with those picks.  Those....hopefully good....players would be in the prime of their careers for the Browns right now.   Khalil Mack or Mike Evans were available at #4

Bradley Roby and Demarcus Lawrence at #26

What would it take to get into the Top Ten?

We don't need a lot of picks right now. Develop what we have and go for Quality over Quantity IMO.

If we can dip into the top ten for a Stud LB, even if it cost us the entire draft, that's what we really need I believe. 

Yea, and you are way off too.

The Chiefs trade (27 to 10) was #27, 3rd round pick, and next year #1.

You don’t go from 26 to top 10 unless you need a QB

No Safety? No CB? No DE to bookend MG?

No way in hell Berry is going all in on one pick when we have starter and depth issues on both sides of the ball...

... not to mention a bushel basket of FAs... not all of whom we will be able to sign due to the cap.

We are way more than one LB away... I don't care how studly he is.

what do you think?  I think it pretty unrealistic, but it may be unrealistic to think barmore is there, but he is listed there according to CBS.  Generally speaking, i don't think CBS is very good in their rankings.

Likely very unrealistic, but I only used Smith to make an "anti-draft for need" point.

OK, now, about this "fit"....    Y'all seem to be using that term in different contexts.     You seem to be saying that "fit" means if we are loaded at a position....say DT,  then drafting another DT would not be  the most prudent move for the team....given other needs. That I get.    But I didn't take it that that is what Dutch was talking about (though, actually, he didn't explain anything about what he was talking about, he just went all PMS).    The other "fit"  is that supposedly a guy is not the right kind of player for some certain designated scheme that a team wants to run defensively;  because he played in a 4-3 rather than a 3-4....or because he is used to  playing  upright rather than putting his hand on the ground.    My contention being that talent supercedes all that. If you can get a guy that can tackle like hell, or rush the passer like hell....you get him if you need him notwithstanding what "system"  you may think he is suited for.....and, again, my contention being that  you suit your system to your talent...or, especially with like a 20 year old  talent  like Barmore, you coach him up and have him adapt. 

Doesn't that seem fair? 

Fit is important.  Sure, a guy like Donald is going to fit anywhere, but guys like that  don't hit FA easily.  They go through a few years of being tagged.  

DT's come in different shapes and sizes.  Smaller, quicker guys are usually 1 gap players.  Hit the gap, penetrate, and see what happens.  Others are bigger and not as quick and they are 2 gap players.  They don't shoot gaps between defenders.  They are expected to hold th2 ground where they are lined up, plus the ground maybe 2 yards to each side.

Most do one or the other.  Few can do both.
