Dylan Thompson should be a decent RB2/3

Sampson   

They dodged the Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter bullets. Not that those two can't turn it around but so far they don't look good.

Dylan Sampson should be a decent RB2/3. Gabriel is hopefully a decent back-up caliber QB.

Well running the ball needs to improve but stopping the run is waaaaaay better right now, keep it going.

AB might have bought some time with this draft. He's still not above Hedges or Naylor in batting average, but props to the 2025 draft so far.

A lot of our rookies have been playing well. Good to see some recognition

Best Rookie of Week 3: Mason Graham

It’s been really easy to overlook Graham playing on a mediocre Browns team, but this week against the Packers the rookie showed the potential he has on the Cleveland line, and the mayhem he can create alongside Myles Garrett.

Graham was an absolute difference maker. The state sheet might only show three tackles and 0.5 sacks, but his impact was absolutely ridiculous.

Mason Graham recorded a 43% pass rush win rate against the Packers today

Average for a defensive tackle is 9%.

This was the highest single game pass rush win rate by a defensive tackle this season, and it’s not even close. Up to this point the season leader was Milton Williams of the Patriots in Week 2, and he had a win rate of 23%. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that when you’re almost DOUBLE the best player at your position leading up to that point then something is going very, very well.

He was just NAUGHTY!  Even better?  Green Bay was the one getting punished for it...

Apparently Travis Hunter has been less than awe-inspiring on either side of the ball for Jacksonville.

Even if Graham just matched Hunter's production/worth, the Browns easily win that trade.

But Graham is making it an absolute laugher. It's early, of course. 

Well said Dutch!   Besides, that 1st round draft pick we added for the upgrade 3 draft slots later - has a calming influence reminding me it's only September regarding another topic this trade could be impacting in the 2026 draft.

Great for Graham.  But let's add Andre The Giant, as he was named AFC ST player of the week.  

I'm truly happy for Andre.  He now knows both ends of the spectrum.  He missed two extra point distance kicks that ultimately lost us game 1.  And now he made 3 kicks that won us game 3....including the longest Walk-Off field goal in Browns history.  

Absolutely!   He scored 7 of the Browns 13 points!!!
