I thought Cleveland got a potential steal in Williams. hopefully hes turns out better than that CB from OSU they drafted whos out of the league.hes proof alone you cant get high on a draft pick cause you never know what can turn out. everyone was praising Farmer for that pick.
both are out of the NFL now.

Wilson comes from a long line of talent Bama LBers..just look around the league.
he could start with a very strong camp.

the LB from BYU is wait and see.they said hes violent. very few Pacific Islander LBers play up to their hype or DTs for that matter.but overall Dorsey did what he does best.
gets real ballers

Cincys draft wasnt glamourous.but I think they got the next Joe Thomas in Williams.
I believe he starts day one.
then they drafted Michael Jordan from OSU.so Taylor looks to be rebuilding the trenches.

Joe Mixon was the AFC leading rusher behind a garbage oline last year.he should be more dominant this year.
I think Rennell Wren is a sleeper pick.unblockable at ASU.

they didnt draft Haskins.but Finely is what Taylor coveted. smart precision passer.
if they drafted Haskins then the Bengals would have got questioned for not taking a LT.

Pittsburgh got Devin Bush. he should be able to prosper behind that big stout DL.
Dionte Johnson could be a legit #3 and might overtake Moncrief as the #2.

Benny Snell is a typical Steelers RB.
hard driving north south ball carrier.

Baltimore will need Hollywood Brown to produce right away..he might struggle vs press coverage. expect him to get doubled alot.
adding another RB in the draft Harbaugh is committed to the run

This took me a second or two. When i think of a CB from OSU we drafted, I think Ward. You are talking about Gilbert.

yeah Justin Gilbert....

Speaking of which, he left here and went to Pittsburgh?

Then was that it for Gilbert? No other tryouts or anything?

I just hope Greedy is better than Layne.

I wonder if we draft Layne if Greedy makes it all the way to 83?

Greedy was going to be gone soon IMO ... we got antsy

Layne is someone I wanted badly too tho, so I'm angry he went to PITT

If he wasn't a local kid and a Browns fan would you guys be as high on Layne?

What would you say his best trait/ability is?

I didn't dislike him, but nothing really stood out to me, either.

I just thought he was a solid cover CB ... probably not the upside that Greedy has, but IMO he'll cover adequately and be reliable

I think it's interesting what the Ravens are doing at QB. It makes sense, from their perspective. They showed last year that they are not afraid to use Lamar Jackson as a runner in a zone-read scheme. So they have RG3 as a backup, and just drafted Trace McSorley in the 6th round (4.57 40 time, 170 carries at Penn State last year).

That's a congruent QB room. If Jackson gets injured or has to come out of the game for whatever reason, next man up and they can run the same scheme. That makes so much more sense than what you often see teams do with a dropback passer as the starter and dual-threat guy as #2 (or vice versa). There are only so many reps in practice, only so much time during the week for installs and such.

I'm actually curious to see how the Browns defense attacks it. I say borrow the Ravens old strategy from several years ago... if the Ravens run a zone-read play, then anytime afterwards when they get in the gun, assign a defender to the QB and have the defender hit the QB on a run no matter what. That's not against the rules and as mentioned above, that was the Ravens old strategy. Very effective.. we'll give you a lane for the running back, but we get to drill your QB. What offensive coordinator is going to take that bet?

The Browns D for the Ravens should be carbon copy of what SD did against them in the playoffs. A lot of DBs who can tackle.

Hell - I'd love to get McCoy and go with a 5 man front, 2 LBs, and 4 DBs.

I don't think Layne was a target for us at all. Didn't Dorsey say that they were trying to move up earlier than we did? Of course, it could be that we were trying to move up for another CB, but I took it as it was still Greedy we were trying to move up to get even earlier than we did.
