I was all intrigued with Tyler Warren, and Fannin is so similar to him !
A brilliant pick.
about 1:32 - Fannin even throws a nice throw for a completion. He LOVES THE GAME !!!

I'm just gonna come out and say it I think he's our best pick... This Schwesinger kid I find very intriguing ... Someone get that kid Clay Mathews Jr's number..

Yes, Gabriel is one of the better college QB's at getting the ball out on time.Ā That's what Stef wants.Ā And he seems agile enough.Ā Sanders is slow to get the ball out...but he likes playing within the system.Ā That's nice.Ā But until he can get the ball out on time he'll be taking a back seat to Gabriel...no matter what his Daddy says.

Dylan Sampson - RB - TennesseeĀ
Strengths
Loves to play fast and displays electricity with ball in his hands
Can turn the corner and race down sideline
Natural feel for following pullers on counter runs
Will press zone runs before using light feet to shake laterally (wears No. 6 because he models his game after Alvin Kamara)
Accelerates into second-level contact with balance to spin out of defenderās grasp
Makes sharp speed cuts and weaves to avoid getting squared up
Fights for every yard ā consistently gets more than expected
High-energy personality (Tennessee coach Josh Heupel: āHeās grown into somebody who has a great voice. Heās truly a strong leader for us.ā)
Nose for the paint ā scored 36 touchdowns in 35 games (school record with at least one TD in 11 straight games)
Carried Volsā offense in 2024, breaking single-season rushing touchdown record that had stood for 95 years
Weaknesses
Has some muscularity but frame is lighter than desired for the position
Not a powerful runner, inside or downhill
Adequate run patience as he searches for daylight but could use better anticipation to hit hole as it comes open
Adequate hands as receiver but will fight the ball at times (two drops on 25 targets in 2024)
More than willing in pass pro but technique and eyes need to improve
Extra fight as runner gives defenders extra chances to swipe ball (four fumbles in 2024)
Didnāt play on special teams in college and doesnāt have return experience
Missed almost all his final game against Ohio State with strained left hamstring (Dec. 2024)
A one-year starter at Tennessee, Sampson was a prolific runner in head coach Josh Heupelās up-tempo, multiple-run scheme (exclusively one-back sets in the gun). After serving as a backup behind Jaylen Wright and Jabari Small for two seasons, he emerged as SEC Offensive Player of the Year in 2024 (averaged 131.4 rushing yards per game in SEC play), setting school-records for rushing yards (1,491) and rushing touchdowns (22) in aĀ season.
Although it looks chaotic at times when he plays in overdrive, Sampson runs with urgent speed getting through the first wave, and his sharp lateral cuts open up the field. He isnāt powerful, but he runs with outstanding competitiveness and averaged a touchdown every 12.1 carries in college. Overall, Sampson is undersized by NFL standards and his inconsistent tempo gets him in trouble, but he is equal parts fast, physical and slippery as a runner and shows promise as a pass catcher. He can have a Tony Pollard-like impact for an NFLĀ backfield.
Grade: 2ndā3rd Round
Dylan Sampson - RB - TennesseeĀ
Strengths

IMO, this guy puts Pierre Strong on the street.

I was lucky enough to have seen him play live when I went to the A&M-Bowling Green game in College Station last year. That play at the 3:51 mark at the start of the 3rd Q was quite impression. But so many plays he made just kept them hanging around just like he had done against Penn State. I came away thinking I had just seen the most impressive TE/WRs in quite some time. I thought this was our pick of the draft given where we picked him up. He gets open even when good teams have him identified as the only real threat on the BG team.

Is there a reason you like or dislike various numbers assigned to players?
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Is there a reason you like or dislike various numbers assigned to players?
Yes.Ā It's a semi old school thing.Ā I like single digits for kickers.Ā Single and teens for QB's.Ā 20's - 40's for RB's.Ā 20's for CB's.Ā 30's for S's,Ā 40's - 50's for LB'ers.Ā 50's for C's.Ā 60's - 70's for G's & T's.Ā 80's for WR's & TE's.Ā 90's & 00 for DL.Ā I would've given Gabriel #10.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

I know people like the fact that Graham and Garrett will be #94 and 95, but I have a feeling that when #55 becomes available, even if its next season, Graham would jump all over it.Ā
I like 88 for Fannin.Ā

Thereās really one number lād want if l was a football player, and thatās obviously 69.

Which is why I brag about the fact I am Texas A&M Class of '69.??

Graham might still be 55 this season.Ā Pocic could "sell' his number to Graham if Graham comes up with a nice enough gift offer.Ā It's been done before.
I'd imagine NIL money would have to make those offers a bit nicer since thoseĀ top players aren't entering the NFL broke.

A nice answer.Ā At least it makes some sense.Ā I don't know when that system was dumped, probably once rosters started to change in size and teams started to venture away from having fairly strict ideas on how many players you needed to carry at each position.
Today with 53 man rosters and up to 16 more players on a practice squad, and a few retired jerseys here and there, sticking to that numbering system might me impossible for many teams.
"Sorry young man, we think you are a great player, but we have to cut you because we don't have a number that fits your position".

That about covers the reasons.Ā So now we have a DB wearing #1 and a WR wearing Kosar's number.Ā Ā
