The Draft: Round One

Newsome, come on down.

Didn't really watch him though.

Fun to hear the boos for Pitt's pick.. and to see Pitt not evaluate themselves very well. RB wasn't the problem, the OL was. Even PFF only rated them 17th overall; somehow first in passpro and dead last in runblock. And they're losing their top runblocker Villaneuva.

Board had Najee' rated higher. Dude does run a good deal beyond expected yards blocked from my understanding.

Newsome! Now give me McNeil Day 2.

Mr. Make-Believe

I’m ecstatic about this pick. Didn’t think he’d be there.

Awesome

The Gipper

Browns pick Greg Newsome II CB Northwestern

He may be a bit of a steal. Hopefully so. I saw some mocks that had him going around 16.

don't like the pick

The Gipper

Ratfuckers take WR Rashod Bateman out of Minnesota.

It is a pick at as much of a position of need as any we had. And he definitely had a first round grade.

Orion

Another CB with durability issues. He'll fit right in in the DB room.

TypicalBrowns50

Can’t have enough good corners in the league.

why do you guys think so many receivers are going in the first round?

I didn’t think Newsome would be here at 26. Good pick, fell right to us

The Gipper

Green Bay take DB Eric Stokes

Buffalo take Rousseau

Ratfuckers had the #31 pick from KC. they take Edge Jayson Oweh out of Penn St. Interesting stat: he was and edge rusher....but did not record a single sack all year.

The Gipper

Last pick in Round One:

Tampa Bay takes Joe Tryon DE Washington

The Gipper

Guys that have dropped who were thought to be 1st rounders:

WR Elijah Moore

LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah

S Trevon Moehrig

DT Christian Barmore

Edge Azeez Ojulari

I wonder if the Browns could parley some of the 8 picks they have remaining to move up to get any of these guys with first round grades.

I assume you all have some other names to consider moving up for as well.

Dutch Oven

Trevor Lawrence looked like he was wearing the women's suit Michael Scott accidentally bought out of the clearance bin.

D Bone

Looking at our shinny new CB, he has missed a lot of college football games due to injury and that stuff tends to follow you.

Hopefully he can shake that and be available week in and week out...

Total nonsense. AL was nowhere near our top run blocker. Dotson was and it wasn't close. Villanueva is thankfully gone (he sucks) and this draft is very deep at offensive line. Najee Harris is just what the doctor ordered especially with fraley off the board. Dickerson round 2 to the steelers. ?

Yes, more often than not injury history follows you to the NFL. But there are exceptions. The Bungles lone HOFer Anthony Munoz had injury concerns coming out of college but- well- he's in the HOF.
