You're the GM...

What rounds were Phil Dawson and Justin Tucker drafted?
The fact they weren't drafted isn't germane to the fact we need a kicker.
The fact is we need a kicker. I think it smart to identify the guy you want then take the steps necessary to get that guy. The way to be sure you get your player is to draft the guy before any other team does. If you would rather dick around and wait for free agency, well, dick around all you want.

And yet one really good kicker emerges after another after not getting drafted, like the two kickers used to illustrate how important good kickers are.
Apparently the entire NFL "dicked around" by not drafting Justin Tucker or Phil Dawson.

1- Nick Sciba, Wake Forest..ACC bias?
Sciba is nearly automatic.
In fact, at one point during the 2021 season, he had made 34 consecutive field goals, setting an NCAA record.
game winner vs. Louisville
He was 7 of 7 from the 40-49 yard range, something the Browns should take note of.
Even more impressive, he only missed two kicks from that range in four years.

Skiba's might only be all of 5'10 190 at the combine... Justin Tucker's leg whip comes from a 6'1" frame... LSU says. LSU Cade York is 6'1" 198.Soooo.......my kicker scouting is done here ?.... York 1a... Skiba 1b...tangibles will matter.. onside kicks/height & placement short end-zone/can boot to back of end-zone when called upon.. (the small practice details we rarely see)can you image the card reading? Cameron Dicker the Kicker from Texas? ? ? oy vey! -

I'm starting to think Landry would like out of Cleveland - I would have a talk with him. Did he know? that obj was undermining the Browns on the field? and behind their backs? just seems like obj was. Is Landry still happy with the Browns?
Just read this - obj told Von Miller to NOT come to the Browns. He went to the rams to join his friend.

I want a kicker that’s navigated through some elements (made some kicks in big moments, kicked in crap conditions or wind) and has a strong leg. Find him in Day 3. Third Round- maybe.
And then hire Phil Dawson as a part time consultant to give instruction on how to judge the elements in Our stadium. I watched an interview with him talking about kicking in Cleveland…wow!!! He knows the stadium better than anyone.
Im tired of downplaying this position Justin Tucker has kicked our butt for almost a decade now. Bengals rookie kicker just made a huge kick
What rounds were Phil Dawson and Justin Tucker drafted?

Tom Brady was taken in the 6th round so maybe we wait then to find the next QB in the sixth round.If you find a guy you draft him.Bengals did last year- working well. We did it a few years ago- didn’t work out at all.
We have a lot of smart people in Berea. Do what you have to do at that position. Treat it like like you are evaluating DB, LT, etc. Running it back with Cody Parkey - I expected more from our group

Yeah, I've always wanted Dawson here as a kicking consultant. He did an incredible job in our stadium by the lake.

Did OBJ ever show up in Cleveland? So he apparently took his own advice.

...but nobody says why he hated our situation so much.

I would roll with Baker also, but does he want to be here?
I think he certainly does. I believe he wants to be the guy to fully turn this thing around. Pretty darn close last season.
im sure he doesnt let the outside bullshit get to him ,His wife yes she sure does and she needs someone to watch over and monitor her twitter account
Lol...that's Baker's #1 problem, he does let outside BS get to him. I think he needs to shut down the noise from commentators, social media, etc. Not an easy thing to do in this day & age.
To answer the original question of what would I do as GM.....
- trust your scouting department & stick to your big board at the draft
- most importantly, build your team to win the AFC North- I don't think they're that far away, even though this season was a dud
- don't overpay for a QB in free agency. 2020 showed Baker was more than adequate
- depth on the D line and LB; easy to say now, but they should have kept Ogunjobi
- kicker- my concern there is both Siebert & Zane Gonzalez were drafted, and couldn't handle it.
- agree with Orion...the constant 4th down gambles aren't necessary. Kick the damn FG early on in road games especially, this team was unable to come from behind
- DO NOT RAISE TICKET PRICES (although I know that's not on the GM)

That IDL lineup .... ?
Re: Perrion, in his interview he said he's a 3 tech. I know he was asked to lose a bit of weight at OU. Even if he puts it back on, probably will hover around 295ish. His best film from what I've seen so far is 3 tech, then he can kick inside in sub packages where he can do damage. But asking him to stay put wouldn't be a great use of his natural abilities.
Defense is still incredibly questionable right up the middle. A middle teams like the Pats exploited to great effect.
I hope Berry has some personnel moves up his sleeve this offseason.

I can't believe Drew Forbes is still hangin' on
I'd love to see a percentage number, of drafted rookie's that get injured, and really just can't recover from the injury..Sad..Jake Butt coming out of Michigan may be another?

saw this on twitter.. the guy even admitted to he may be wrong on DT true gap positions..but most don't look to bad for a start

Elliot and Togiai are the only decent 1 tech candidates. I'm being generous saying decent. Double T might, but only if there has been some serious changes to his body this offseason.

We'll find DT's are easier to find, than Edge's. down the road. DT Goldman comes to mind/but his market money is crazy? lot's of cuts coming too..
I love Newsome's a physical corner... but he can't get hand'zie playing slot..?

Finding DTs just to throw a body at the position is easy. Finding effective players at value takes a bit of work.

and a GM to a open mind, of valuing his* own players better than his own choices.. He's done it with Chubb/Ward/Hunt/Bitonio/Teller ect..
My issue with Berry ? He's not* done particularly well drafting mid round guys.. Harrison Bryant might be his one trophy? He's loaded up with his mid-round value choices now, so I'm willing to wait them out.. or I'm I ? time will tell..
edit-- The Happiest Monday's are those you schedule yourself OFF work !
Happy Monday !
I got my own error's to make happen...?
