If we are seriously moving Shon Coleman to LT, 33 or 35 might be the spot for RT. Some people think Orlando Brown dropped out of the first round with a less than stellar Combine, and the growing realization that he's really not an LT prospect at the pro level.


I flat out forgot about the Chris Hubbard signing when I posted this, so please disregard. Those high 2nd round picks are too valuable to use for OL depth.

I guess we have different opinions of Rosen.

Give Rosen an NFL training camp and he'll be ready. I'm pretty confident of that. He's the better player

If you and others feel that Rosen is NFL-ready and, more importantly, the Browns feel Rosen is NFL-ready, why on earth would they not draft him #1, regardless of what Hue Jackson said about Tyrod Taylor in March?

Not sure. He's my number 1 guy. Something medical or something about his personality/background I'd reckon

Assuming we take a QB 1 or 4. I would like to see CB,RB,DE etc. depending on whom we take with our other 1st round selection. I think we can get a good WR or OT with the last pick in the 2nd i.e. DJ Chark or Kolton Miller.

With our 2nd round picks I expect the Browns to look at CB, LT, WR, DE and RB. I would think strongly about trading back into the 1st to get the right player. I would like to come out of this draft with 3 starters.


I just want a winner. We need players who can be part of the solution not part of the problem.

Oof. I dunno. Those guys are hot names lately. I think if we're getting them, it'd have to be with our first two second round picks. That last pick in the second is literally the last pick in the 2nd.

Especially Kolton Miller. There's just not a lot of decent tackles in supply this year. Some folks even think he could be a LT

Looking at all the mock drafts and simulated drafts ... Good CBs, WRs and OTs always drop. Take one of those there. You would think someone with a mid-first round grade will drop in our lap.

For the second 2nd rounder, go with the best RB left. There are about 5 guys with first round grades that are getting mocked to the second. Grab one of those guys here. As much as I like Barkley, the drop-off in talent from him to the next level of guys isn't a lot. I think we'd be much better off going with Chubb/Fitzpatrick and then grabbing our back in the 2nd round.

Nobody actually writes anything on tea leaves. If you think a draft pick is the best, you draft him. Tea leaves won't change that.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

lol. Did I write "the writing on the tea leaves"? I know i've been typing about tea leaves, but couldn't find the post.


I think you put them in tea and see how they look and then make a prediction? Isn't that what you do?

I agree, if you think a draft pick is best, you draft them. And you don't use tea leaves or any other form of superstition (other than no qbs at 22) to pick them. I just think the Browns aren't going Rosen anymore. Based on what i know about the QBs, I disagree with them. He's the best of the bunch.

But I just don't think it's happening. That's my prediction. But I'd love to be wrong. Josh Rosen is my guy

I agree.
If your guy is there and you want him, get him. If he isn't projected until a number of picks later so what. You must take him when you can. I don't worry about someone thinking we could have got him later. If I don't have a pick between when he's available and when he's slotted to go I just grab him when I can. I don't think it's a game where guys who overthink or going to drive themselves nuts with hindsight belong.

I understand what you're doing. I just think fans tend to search too hard for hidden meanings that simply don't exist. Like people thinking because we signed some FA help in the secondary means Fitz is out at the #4 pick. lol That's just crazy talk. Our entire secondary is trash and the weakest uinit on our team.

Same goes with QB. Everyone has been saying since Kizer was drafted that you should never start a rookie. That it's always a good idea to have a bridge QB when drafting a rookie QB. Now that we're doing that, you wish to claim that means we're barring drafting a certain rookie? I don't see the math in that.

And let me ask you, how long did they say that TT was going to be the starter? Four weeks, six, eight? As far as I could see TT is the named starter going into the 2018 season. That's as it should be no mater which rookie we draft.

Now I'm not saying they will draft Rosen. I have no idea. But nothing that's been done or said makes it more or less likely that they will. If people try hard enough they can read almost anything into comments that are made. But I don't see that as reading tea leaves.

Could be the case. Maybe I'm overthinking a press conference.

If I remember right, and i'm not positive because i don't want to go back to the interview. But it sounded like all of 2018. He certainly didn't say, Tyrod Taylor will be the starter of the beginning of the 2018 season.

Yup, this is all my opinion.



But, I stand by what I said. I don't think will be drafting Rosen or Mayfield. Although I hope we do draft one of those two, as I have it 1) Rosen 2) Mayfield 3) Darnold then a far 4) Josh Allen. With Darnold being very close to Baker, and Baker & Darrnold being a decent distance behind Josh Rosen

The first round is not rocket science.

Really picking One and Four. Don't see how anybody could screw that up.

The Second Round is where we can make hay. If the Browns hit on their three second rounders we will be in excellent shape.

Meaning we will have a team that can compete week in and week out.

I am holding out hope for Pryor.

That makes the three second rounders wide open to just find good players.

Hard to predict who will be there in the top of the round. But I am holding out hope we can get this guy DaRon Payne.

Along with some more corner help.

NFL Hot Press

Sam Hubbard's Disappointing Pro Day Could Cause Slide
Updated March 23, 2018
By Charlie Campbell. Follow Charlie on Twitter @draftcampbell.

Ohio State has been a steady factory for NFL talent, churning a string of first-round picks. Defensive end Sam Hubbard has been projected to be one of the next in a very long line of Buckeye opening-round selections. However, at the Ohio State pro day, team sources say they were disappointed in his workout and now they question that first round projection.

"I would strongly consider dropping him from the first round of your mock," said a college scouting director. "He was 4.95 and 5.00 in the 40-yard dash, and that didn't surprise any of the Ohio State staff. He didn't do well in the bench press either. He was better in the field drills with good technique, but he didn't have the look of a first-round speed-and-strength kind of guy."

One thing going for Hubbard is that this draft doesn't have 32 prospects grading out as first-rounders. It varies by team, but the number of true first-rounders is around 20, give or take. Playing a premium position that always is in demand will help Hubbard as well, but team sources say that after his pro day, they think that it's possible he slips to Round 2.

If we miss out on Chubb I would love to see Hubbard at the top of the 2nd but I really don't think he makes it there someone will take him late 1st he is a great player ... JMHO

Disappointed that the Browns did not sign Pryor and or Hurns.

We have 75 mil left. If we had to go higher why not if it upgrades the team?

Free agency is unpredictable because it is their choice. But usually money doesn't talk; it screams.

So now we need to look at the draft for receivers.

Depending on what happens at four my guess is we will be looking at RB'S as well as receivers.

I could be wrong but with Randall and the corners added maybe they feel good about the defensive backfield.

Hopefully we can add some good players in the second round. It is a deep draft at RB'S. Not sure about receivers.

Payne and McClinchey stand out to me.

I need to really go look at the receivers. Ridley is the only guy I have seen.

There should be some really good ones at the top of the second round.

McClinchey getting to the second round? I doubt it.

Payne? Maybe.

With the run at quarterbacks some first round talent should be there at the top of the second round.

Honestly as a Browns fan we could not be in a better position than we are at this point in time.

One and four in the first. The pick of the litter at a good quarterback draft class.

Four we will have crazy options. What's too cool is they are all good options.

Two picks at the top of the second round?? With the chance to grab first round talent.

The draft can not get here fast enough.

Not being smart here peen but if Alexander was the best DB in the draft we would be talking about him at 4 instead of Ward, but I agree he is very good, he may go in the late 1st, in fact if he makes it to the 2nd rd. I would not be unhappy if we took him at 33 or 35 if we don't take Ward ...

I think some are DESPERATE for a LT post Thomas.

Many are going to learn really quick just how hard it is to get a serious LT. After years of futile BS, we've been spoiled the last 11 years.

McGlinchey has NO chance at LT. His feet SUCK. There's noone in this draft capable of holding down the LT spot.

Brown? Adding to your thoughts, I've heard his attitude sucks and he's a HUGE A-Hole.

Is that accurate?

Alexander may have scooted up the board out of our reach unless we trade up to get him.

The only OT I would hope to invest in.

Chukwuma Okorafor 6-6 320 4.82 Western Michigan SR

Possibly with our #64 pick 33, 35 would be a bit too soon.

Well that is a big time difference. I thought this kid was super fast. I watched the Wisconsin game, he did hold his own with TJ Watt as a junior, was thinking oh ok he got a lot faster his senior year...lol

Not that 40 time is essential to OTs but 4.82 at 320 lbs was amazing where I wanted the guy...lol laugh

Ok actually wouldn't still mind him cause he did look powerful with run plays and his feet were pretty decent.

Let's make the following assumptions:

1, we take a QB at #1
2, we take Bradley Chubb at #4
3, our top rated players at each position have about the same rating when we draft at #33 and #35

Rank these positions in how you would draft them:

RB
Wr
OT
Cb
S

It has everything to do with the value at this point in the draft. There is likely to be a run on RBs' in round two and we don't have a 3rd round pick.

DB will come off the board in bunches.

OT is pathetic this year and most will go a round or two higher then their projected value...I would obstane in round two and hope to find some value in the middle rounds for a player to be developed.

WR there is not much difference between WR#4 and WR#15 in this draft imo.
