I'd throw a fourth round pick out there four one or two of these guys.



http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23713...plemental-draft

I believe our picks would be the first in each of rounds 1 & 2. Not sure where we would be after.

If you can get a 1st round talent in the 4th, I'd do it too. Probably depends how we view the players obviously

Sweetens it for us if we get to choose pick of the litter so to speak. Some real value possible.

I trust Dorsey to get some of this if anybody rings the bell. PS guys?

They don't sound very good.

I don't know what they sound like, but Bryant is a pretty decent player. I did know he is fast as blazes. I didn't know he could dead lift 600lbs. Good gosh!


Someone mentioned a 4th rounder. That sounds like a good offer if we decided to make a offer.

Plus, let's remember, our 4th round pick outbids anybody else's 4th round pick right now.

So, let's say we offer the 4th round pick for the CB ... and we wind up picking 16th, we technically get a player for way less draft capital

If the player you select isn't better, clearly better than anybody you may keep on your 53 man, then it would be a bad thing to take one of them.

And The Browns have been able to find DB's in spades in free agency for many years now, lots and lots and lots of them.

Why waste even a 6th on a 3 man field when you don't know what kind of field you will have to choose from when the time to make that pick comes around.

3 Guys who aren't clearly better than a Howard Wilson or Simeon what's his name from this years 7th round pick, in a year when the team doesn't need a lesser than BBC, when BBC has 2 years experience, and Peppers, and Kindred is coming into his prime,
And all the others.

I'm just trying to say if these 3 ain't clearly worth a first, maybe 2nd round pick, then it would be a waste to add on to what you already have.

It's like, if you hand someone a birthday card, and immediately hand them a 2nd birthday card, from the same person.
uhh, ya it's like that.

I wouldn't see the point, maybe a different time in a different situation.

It would take a 2nd rounder to get Bryant or Alexander.They are both physical freaks and won't be there in the 3rd. Alexander reminds me of Richard Sherman.

I think Beal would be there in the 3rd but I could be wrong because I really haven't watched him much.

Great time to throw our perceived value at the proverbial fan and see how things land. Get value and better to get it at a point where we can afford development time.

that's where your scouting must be key ... if he's projected to be an NFL starting caliber player, you take the risk

If this is true, throwing a 3rd rd pick for this guy is a no-brainer

I would have to agree with the 3rd round. Not that my opinion matters.

Besides we already have New England's third next year to soften any draft impact.

Not to mention, it's always good to bring in some competition for guys like Terrance Mitchell and Michael Jordan.

Can't have too many DB's. No team will likely ever have more than 8 strong with the last two spots seemingly always developmental/young guys.

yeah i'd agree too

Cleveland Browns in attendance for DB Brandon Bryant workout

by Dan Justik6 hours ago

With the NFL Supplemental Draft just over two weeks away, the Cleveland Browns were in attendance for the workout of one of the four players that are entered into the draft.

The Cleveland Browns had one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL in 2017. General manager John Dorsey has spent his first off-season with the Browns trying to change that by rebuilding the team’s secondary.

The Browns started off by trading for Damarious Randall before free agency began to be the starting free safety. During free agency, Dorsey signed cornerbacks T.J. Carrie, Terrance Mitchell and E.J. Gaines. The Browns also used the fourth overall pick on cornerback Denzel Ward and a sixth round pick on Simeon Thomas in the 2018 NFL Draft.

But Dorsey may not be done adding to the secondary before training camp. The Browns were in attendance for the workout of former Mississippi State defensive back Brandon Bryant on Monday, according to Chase Goodbread of NFL.com. Bryant is eligible to be selected in the 2018 NFL supplemental draft. NFL senior analyst Gil Brandt shared the results of Bryant’s workout.

Bryant played three seasons for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. In 37 games, Bryant made 157 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. He intercepted five passes, returning one for a touchdown, and forced one fumble.

Bryant showed the potential of being a play-making safety after he intercepted three passes in 2015. But he was unable to continue to show that potential after he only intercepted one pass in each of the past two seasons.

Mississippi State did not let Bryant join the team for spring practices this season due to academics, according to Goodbread. Bryant then announced that he would be leaving the school, and then later applied for the supplemental draft.

The Browns may have just been doing their due-diligence in attending Bryant’s workout. But with how much Cleveland has done in rebuilding their secondary this off-season. it would not be a surprise to see them offer a pick on Bryant or one of the two other defensive backs in the supplemental draft.

If the Browns were to offer a bid on Bryant and offered the highest bid, they would give up a pick in the corresponding round in the 2019 NFL Draft. For example, if the Browns offer a third round bid on Bryant and they are the highest bidder, they would give up a third round pick in the 2019 Draft to select Bryant.

The Browns have the highest selection in each round as they had the worst record during the 2017 season. The Browns have selected two players in the supplemental draft: Bernie Kosar in 1985 and Josh Gordon in 2012. The supplemental draft will be held on July 11.

Just trade a late round pick to the Skins for Greg Stroman.

I'd offer a 3rd pick to see if we can pick him up.. but if he is stud, then use a 2nd round pick.

he's supposedly a 1st round talent ... but maybe a 3rd will do it for us. Our 3rd round pick trumps any other team's 3rd round pick (and I doubt any team ponies up a 2nd rounder)

One of Dorseys goals was to get faster. With Bryant clocking 4.29..that brings some speed. With two 3rd rounders next year, if his kid checks out in the workouts and isn't as dumb as a stump, I'd offer a 2nd rounder and get him on the team.

We shouldn't be picking anywhere near the top of the round next year...or, even say 10th in the round. If he gets a low 1st round grade or early 2nd round grade, it's good value.

To me, it is important to win some this year. It's important for Hue and everybody involved. If this kid can help us do that, do it. It doesn't hurt anything. We are just making next years 2nd round pick a year early.

If he looks worthy, pull the trigger.
Whether we buy the talent next year or this year, the Draft pick will be spent the same way.... I'd rather get it this year, if we can.

plus he'll be cheaper this year

'peen above:



You mean games?

Slow down tiger.

Exactly. Not to mention that this pick is the most valuable of all the picks to be bid. Who knows where we will be drafting in the 2nd round next year. It better not be the first pick of the round.

would probably go 2nd for Beal and use the Pats 3rd for Bryant.

Sounds like a winner.....

if we did add one or both of them, just imagine how much we've improved the secondary in three months (at least hopefully)

Gil Brandt pegs Bills, Browns as suitors for CB Sam Beal

ByJosh Edwards 4 hours ago



NFL Network's Gil Brandt is hearing that one NFL team believes Western Michigan cornerback Sam Beal would have been taken in the second round had he entered the 2018 NFL Draft. As a result of the delay, Brandt is hearing that Beal will likely be taken in the third round of the 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft which takes place July 11.

For comparison, Iowa's Josh Jackson, North Carolina's MJ Stewart, LSU's Donte Jackson, Florida's Duke Dawson, Colorado's Isaiah Oliver and Auburn's Carlton Davis were the cornerbacks taken in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Brandt also noted that the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns are two teams to watch as possible suitors for Beal because they have extra picks in Rounds Three and Four in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Beal had been declared academically ineligible for the upcoming college football season hence his decision to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He is expected to be the first prospect taken ahead of Virginia Tech cornerback Adonis Alexander, Mississippi State defensive back Brandon Bryant, Oregon State linebacker Bright Ugwoegbu and Grand Valley State running back Martayveus Carter. At his Pro Day earlier this week, Beal ran a wind assisted 4.40 in the 40 yard dash as well as a 4.55 second 40 yard dash against the wind. The Michigan native added a 37-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot, 6 inch broad jump as well. All 32 teams were present including Browns General Manager John Dorsey.

Beal was considered a first round talent in the 2019 NFL Draft. Bleacher Report mocked him to the Green Bay Packers No. 25 overall. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller recently reported that he is hearing Beal could be taken in the second round but the third round is more likely.

The Junior from Grand Rapids, Michigan had 26 tackles, two interceptions, ten pass deflections and a forced fumble last season. Western Michigan cornerback coach Nick Sanchez believes that Beal can be an asset to NFL teams.

"He's becoming what the NFL is looking for. A tall guy that can run and can play press coverage. We play press coverage here," Sanchez said.

The 2018 NFL Supplemental Draft is for prospects that missed the deadline or did not fit the criteria to enter the 2018 NFL Draft. The day essentially serves as a silent auction. Each NFL team submits their highest bid and the prospect goes to the highest bidder. The winning team forfeits that corresponding choice in the 2019 NFL Draft. For example, if the Dallas Cowboys submit a third round bid for a prospect then they would forfeit a third round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft if they receive the player. If multiple teams submit a bid of the same round, then the prospect goes to the team highest in the 2018 NFL Draft order, which is determined by the win-loss record from the previous season. The Cleveland Browns would have the first pick in each round and the Philadelphia Eagles would have the last.

Only 43 players have been taken in Supplemental Drafts since it was instituted in 1977. There is a limited history of selections recently. In 2011, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was taken in the third round by the Oakland Raiders. The Browns added former Baylor and Utah wide receiver Josh Gordon in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. The only player taken since Gordon was Clemson offensive tackle Isaiah Battle, who was taken by the Los Angeles Rams in 2015. He has since moved on to the Seattle Seahawks.

Informative article. Thanks!

I'll gladly give u p a third round pick for him

I don't think you can trade other team's pick on the supplemental draft. I believe it's only your picks.

With all the secondary acquisitions this off season, I just don't see where adding another corner fits in the picture..

The Steelers might.

I read an article (maybe on here) that speculated our 3rd round pick will be good enough for the CB ... I'd do it

If he can be better than someone that we have, we'll find a way to make him fit and not worry about who we have to displace.

EJ Gaines was reportedly really unhappy that we drafted Ward after signing him. I would have to imagine that we might see the roof blow off the Berea HQ if we also add Beal.

Sounds like Gaines has confidence issues.
Either Gaines is good enough to earn his spot with Beal here, or he isn't. The GM's job is to make the team better, not stroke the egos of the talent he brings in (that's the coach's job, lol).
