  • Andrew Berry had a better day 3 in 2020 than any GM we've had since.. I got frustrated looking at day3's back through 2009 [Kaluka Maiava, Don Carey, Coye Francis, James Davis] - let's stop there.

    The 2020 picks didn't just make the roster, they're big parts of the team's future.  Bryant and DPJ get solid rep counts; Harris was C backup last year and will likely start in 2022.

    All the picks didn't just make the roster, they're big parts of the team moving forward.  Bryant and DPJ get solid rep counts; Harris spot-started last year and is likely our starting C in 2022.

    Eh, we'll see how those and the 2020 Browns draft in general looks in a few years. 

  • Agreed, I thought day 2 was uninspiring last year.

    The point, though, is the extraordinarily cheap contracts that those day3 2020 picks are on through the end of the 2023 season.  We're getting low-end-starter performance for under 1M per.. THAT is how you have the cap space to maintain a championship roster & resign players we draft in rd1.  Most day3 draft picks are wasted.. but when they hit, they're genius.

    Dutch hates analytics...

    People often hate that which they do not understand. 😁

    Agree on Berry, but don't forget DePo is still around.

    You would need 1000 extra points to move from 26 to 4 or 6 (hello Chicago). More than we have for our entire draft. 

    Cleveland traded the No. 6 overall pick to Atlanta for five draft picks (its first-, second-, and fourth-round picks in 2011, plus its first- and fourth-round picks in 2012).

    Atlanta owned the 27th pick In the first round in 2011.

    This would be the kind of deal that you would expect IF you moved into the 6-8 range.  Did we get ripped off in 2011...perhaps? 
     

    Big Trade up...slight trade up...stay put....slide back.  Could be interesting Thursday

    Not by the standard chart of the time...

    At the time Heckert was our GM and analytics had yet to come to town... so by the established chart of the day, the Jimmy Johnson chart. The rule of thumb is that future year picks are devalued by one round per year.

    • We gave up 342.4.
    • ATL paid 214.7+135.1+79.4+135.1+61.1 = 595.4. So we killed it... or so we thought.

    However, by the Harvard Chart

    • We gave up a pick worth 1600.
    • So ATL gave up... 680+310+49+310+30 = 1379 assuming they finished 2012 in the same position... which they did not. They actually finished higher in 2012 and earned us the 29th pick.

    So yeah... by today's standard we did not get full value for our 6th, but either way Chuckles Heckert blew the draft anyway.

    Here's the old JJ chart... it has decimal points, so it must be more precise... 😉

    The chart is reference point...and demand can drive it favorably or unfavorably in either direction.  I think the chart could be favorable with a trade up in the first round if you have a run on QBs with the first four picks and four are off the board at pick 5 or 6.

  • Of Note: King has the Browns trading up to No. 21 (Colts) to make this selection. To do so, the Browns would have to part with one of their two third-round picks.

    --------  Pick 20 or 21 is about as far as I thought that we might move up.....if we saw a guy that we loved tumbling towards us.

    Yuck.  I hope if we trade up it’s for one of those elite WRs or DBs

    A trade-up for a LB'er does seem to run counter to the Browns current culture of downplaying the LB'er role.  I'm sure their specific denomination of analytics wouldn't support such a move.  But it really doesn't change the fact that LB'er is probably our biggest need and that a LB'ers value will match one of our first four picks.  

  • Denver is shopping pick #9. I’d consider moving up to grab Surtain. Adding him to Ward , Johnson ,Hill and Harrison forms the best secondary in the NFL. Life at the D line for sacks and QB pressures would be easy picking for the crew we have now. 

  • Anything that costs a future first is a complete no no as far as I’m concerned
