D. Jeremiah has Browns taking TT Edge Rusher David Bailey at #6 (see video)

We have bigger needs but Delpit will be a free agent after next season. Hes coming off his best season. Will we pay him? It is not just Emerson, Hickman and the JAGs that played slot this season…and Ward (surprisingly healthy this year) but you never know year to year. Secondary is a sneaky need.

The one thing I'll give AB credit for is he's never been shy about drafting CBs. Depending on Martin Emerson's achilles status, I'm sure they'll draft at least one in the upcoming draft.

Great points! Delpit had an believable year without any major breakdowns or miscommunications. Secondary is like OLine in the sense there's always a need with 5 guys needed (especially considering how often we went with a 4-2 in the 1st 2 tiers) so we always have that feeling we don't quite have all the essentials on board. Tell you what - I hope we keep LBer Devin Bush (he's gonna be a FA) because he was great against the pass. He looked like he had his dad's DB skills and speed.
Let's hope we can fill some holes in free agency; but make sure we avoid any/all Drew Rosenhaus clients. He can go sell tanning beds in the Tropics for all I care...

I agree that our past drafting has been somewhat of a head scratcher. I think it is pretty much a sure thing we draft a OT in the 1st round and another somewhere else.....maybe around round 4.
In the end I think our 1st round picks will end up around 12, and we stick at 24. OT and WR will be our 1st round picks. 2nd round might go defense. We do need a corner and a safety on that side of the ball.
Somebody is going to want our pick at #6

Like I've mentioned in my stupid mock thread - the Cowboys don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick in this next draft, at least now. So them trading up would give them the 6 pick, and they wouldn't have another pick until the 4th round. So, I think that is too much a price to pay for them.

Berry may want to trade back, but without a QB to lure a trade, there might not be a high demand to move up. And supposedly there aren't but a couple of OT's that might be starting LT caliber. He has to be ready to make a pick at #6. This is yet another do or die draft for Berry. He did a good job last year (unless you wanted OL), except for the Stefanski pick of Gabriel. And that saved him from joining Stefanski. He's gotta know that he's on borrowed time and has to hit home runs.
One of the first things I'd like to see Berry do is sign Devin Bush.

Real interesting, he's a slot corner, AND a cb.
4th round predicted, very interesting.

Yeah, I could see that. Some of the guys were talking about a trade-back that would add a pick. I forgot what sports media guy said Indy veteran RT Braden Smith (previously 2nd round pick out of Auburn in 2018) would be a good FA idea for the Browns but I liked it in terms of adding a solid starter with experience/potential leadership potential. I'm not smart enough to think that up; but I guess I'm not a bad parrot sometimes
Free agency can definitely help us this year IMO.

Glad you brought up free agency. We have money to spend. Maybe not as much as some past years, but we do have money. We may say we need 5 O linemen, but I doubt it sits there come the draft. FA is entirely needs based. Teams don't set out to sign the best player available, they sign guys they feel they can plug and play on day one, or at least fill a key back-up role. That is why I don't rule out selecting a guy like Downs or Bailey. At least not yet. Another possibility is trades.
Once we get into April we will have a better feel for where we stand. Nothing says we will lose all of our FA Olinemen. I am pretty sure we will keep at least 1, maybe 2 of them. I'd be shocked if we don't sign at least 1, maybe 2 as outside FA pick-ups.
By all accounts I have seen is it is a pretty good year to get talented O line help down through maybe round 5 or 6. We don't need to hit the panic button just yet.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

Yes indeed! As far as our FAs - Bitonio has given us a consistent reliability since 2014. Unfortunately, that value has depreciated quite a bit the last 2 years partially due to the revolving door on his immediate left partnership at LT (chemistry & trust never established) as well as the loss of the veteran to his right. He's still a credible leader; but 12 years of wear and tear has father time asking him if the never ending dumpster is worth it all. I love what he's done for the Browns over the years; but I have a feeling he's gonna retire. If so, veteran OG Teven Jenkins isn't a really a drop-off where Bitonio is at today outside of maybe the leadership intangible. I feel horrible typing all that because he's been everything I've wanted as a fan QUITE A BIT...onio.
Our other FA OG is also coming off a frustrating season for his previous standard that achieved multiple Po Bowls here. The wear and tear toll booth found him too. He also dealt with the same chemistry and trust issues Bitonio had to with the change of partner on his outside as well as the Center to his left at the end of the year. While we're at it - Center Ethan Pocic ended 2025 on IR followed by surgery. In summary, we have lingering question marks remaining with all 3 of our IOL FAs if they are retained...
No time like the current situation with our OL to challenge Berry to prove he can compete as GM in this league. The time is finally here and NOW!!! Think of it like some squid in flip-flops from the Baltimore Jerk-offs just kicked sand in your face AB... Let's giddy-up and get after it here!!!

He's a former QB so you'll have to excuse him for copying a former Olineman...
