Just musing what the Brown could do if they execute a tradedown..
Browns trade with Miami( and using CBS Sports rankings)
Cleveland's Picks
12…..Cleveland (Miami)…..E.J Manuel QB FSU
54…..Cleveland (Miami)…..Larry Warford OG Kentucky
68…..Cleveland…..............Blidi Wreh-Wilson CB UConn
104…..Cleveland….......... Barcarri Rambo FS Georgia
139…..Cleveland…............Dion Sims TE MSU
164…..*********Traded to Miami for Bess WR
175…..Cleveland…........... Keith Pough LB Howard
227…..Cleveland….............Robert Lester SS Alabama
If I have time I may do another one but this is what I think the Browns might do..not what I would do.
I really like the Warford and BW2 picks.
OK with the Rambo and Sims picks.
Not crazy about the Manuel pick.
Do not like the Pough or Lester picks.
JMO.
I'd be ok with a draft like that. EJ Manuel would be a gamble, but I like that both his comp% and yds/PA were high in College and he still has upside left.
Following that shocker up with solid bets like Warford and Wreh-Wilson would soften the blow for me.
Not a fan of Rambo, but he has some ballhawk to his game.
Sims and Bess would be execptional for our two 5ths. Pough is an interesting, high energy guy.
Overall this would be a pretty good haul of talent
hi attack dawg like your draft
would love to see Warford drop to us in rd. 3, and I want no part of Dion Sims, I watch all Big Ten games and I see him as Talented but very lazy ... JMHO
No thanks! Dee Milliner or the best LB on the board.
Manuel fits Banner's McNabb blue print. Manuel fits Lombardi's height weight speed. He fits Chuds replacement for Cam. I would not be surprised.
Warford, I love and I have heard for a long time that Norv loved this kid. Now that doesnt mean a lot but when you are hearing compliments like Larry Allen's mean streak, it is an attention getter.
Bledi pronounced Bleed E can't get any better for a football name. I think the kid may be the steal of the draft. Is he the mystery 2nd round corner that the Browns supposedly are head over heals in love with?
I like Rambo better than Reid and Vaccaro. The kid can play football and he played a lot of man on the slot last year. Very underrated.
TE I expect the Kelce or Reed.
Remember I'm just using a rankings to get where these guys are rated..however Manuel/Warford are on the Browns big board.
Jordan..and they have 8 CB's rated as potiential starters.
The 3 DT's are on their board,Jonathan Cyprien, Dallas Thomas. Some of the names.
Im surprised this board hasnt said more about Robert Woods. Last year with the
Blackmon debate, he was mentioned very often and many thought he was best in college. Due to small injury, emergence of Marquis Lee, and Barkley's subpar senior season, he hasnt gottent he press this year. If we trade back and get a 2nd ... I think we should seriously consider him
I really like Woods a great deal, but I just can't see us drafting another receiver high this soon.
This is such a deep corner class. This is all IMO.
Potential #1s: (no particular order)
Milliner
Amerson
BWW
Hayden
Trufant
Rhodes
Other Starters:
Banks
Webster
Poyer
Webb
Taylor
Borderline Starters: (pushing it)
Alford
Slay
Gratz
Mathieu
Hawthorne
Howard
Your list is similar to mine..I would gather the Browns list is setup something like that but I think they have Rhoads and Milliner rated very close.
I would take that draft in a heartbeat.
