Austin basically was gonna be cut

Kinda expecting Browns to draft Des Harrison, OT from West Georgia in he's on the board in 6th round.. multiple suspensions on his resume but he's got a high ceiling as a developmental LT prospect. They had him in for a pre-draft visit.

have to think we go safety with one of these two picks...still some decent ones out there...Webb, Elliott, Kelly, Igwebuike, Blanding, Reaves, Henderson

Rams got my guy.

dang, i wanted jameson

Pick coming up, I will be shocked if we don't take a FS in this draft

Folorunso Fatukasi or Hercules Mata'afa for our next pick.

FS is good with me ... or DT

Springs - CB, Oregon next.

We can use another DT, and maybe another secondary piece.

sean chandler?

Jeremy Reaves
Brandon Facyson
Leon jacobs
Deon Cain

We had him in for a visit, right?

I really, really, really want Greg Stroman.

run on punters

That's funny, Eisen quoted you after commercial break.

Arrion Springs, Jullian Taylor, or Chavarius Ward.

haha really? cool

yes - all three I mentioned.

Alright who is it?

WR Damion Ratley

never heard of him

He ran a 4.2 forty So hes fast at least

TAMU WR Damion Ratley just drafted by the Browns averaged 23 yards per catch last year. Ran a 4.39 at pro day

probably a high SPARQ

Tall and fast is good. If he can catch...

Overview

Ratley's combination of size, athleticism, and pure speed makes him an intriguing prospect despite the fact that he managed just 47 catches over his three seasons at Texas A&M. While he has bonafide field-stretching speed, he also has the athletic ability and foot quickness to handle underneath routes as well. Ratley is raw and will need to improve his press release and routes, but his explosiveness gives him a shot at making a roster or practice squad as a late rounder or undrafted free agent.

Strengths

Very good combination of size and speed. Smooth athlete with plus directional change for his size. Had 11 of his 30 catches go for 25-plus yards this season for a 23.1-yards-per-catch average. Has the juice to access early acceleration to climb past man coverage and threaten deep. Averaged a touchdown every 5.8 catches during his three seasons. Shows ability to track and adjust to deep throws
Quick to stab throws outside his frame and can rescue overthrows with his length. Catch-and-run talent who can split defenders after catch and take it to the house. Raw with plenty of room for improvement as a prospect

Weaknesses

Would like to see better competitiveness and fight from snap to snap. Had three potential touchdowns end at the one-yard line with stops. Needs to add strength to fight his way around press corners who tend to ground his takeoff. Routes are raw and lack focus. Doesn't have a feel for setting up routes to maximize his burst out of breaks and stems. Allows coverage to crowd him around the field rather than maintaining his catch space. Upright in routes and loses some momentum due to contact or directional change. Needs to get tougher in order to handle special teams coverage duties that will be asked of him

The entire draft is a failure because we didn't get the Texas punter.

Dorsey said he wanted to get faster players. I think he has held true to his word. All skill players drafted have had pretty good 40 times for their respective positions.

WR Damion Ratley had average tape, but the testing numbers were elite at 6016 and 196 pounds: 4.39 40-yd, 1.54 10-yd, 38" vert, 6.92 3-cone #Browns

and beat the press. A 6'2" frame should hold more than 196.

and he went right before our pick. That has to get you, cuz you never know it might have been the target.

The Seahawks traded in front of us to get him?!?!?

That is impressive, wonder how adding some weight would affect speed. Wondering, will guys lose some weight for pro days and such to help them gain a little bit of speed or that won't help much? Just thinking maybe he normally plays over 200, but cut weight to gain a tenth or so on measurables.

That's gotta hurt. I still get a little bummed when we don't get my guy, even though it never happens.

Would've liked to see us take Eq St Brown today.
