Skyy Moore or David Ojabo, but both will probably be gone.

STILL AVAILABLE
17
Nakobe Dean
Georgia · LB · Junior
Dean is an undersized linebacker with exceptional instincts and play-making ability. Against the run, he is quick to read, flow and fill for tackles. He is two steps ahead of everyone on the field because of his combination of knowledge, vision and instincts. He has excellent speed and range. He is a firm, chest-up tackler with a high batting average in space. Against the pass, he has the athleticism to match up with RBs and TEs underneath. He has good feel and burst to close as a zone dropper. He is an outstanding blitzer, utilizing timing and the ability to slip blockers for sacks/pressures. The Georgia staff raves about his leadership. Dean reminds me a lot of Jonathan Vilma coming out of Miami.
26
Malik Willis
Liberty · QB · Senior (RS)
Willis is a thick, sturdy quarterback with elite arm strength and play-making ability. He has quick feet in his setup and he throws from a wide, firm base. He usually releases the ball out of a 3/4 arm slot and it jumps out of his hand. He generates incredible RPMs and flashes the ability to fit passes into tight windows. His accuracy is inconsistent. At times, he gets too wide with his feet and the ball sails to the perimeter. He has shown the ability to change ball speed, but he can improve on layer throws. He misses out on some completions because his throws are too flat. He's effective extending and creating against pressure (which he faced a ton of). He's outstanding on QB draws, powers and zone reads. He has a burst and pulls through tackles. Overall, Willis is still a work in progress, but he has the most upside on any QB in this class.
28
Breece Hall
Iowa State · RB · Junior
Hall is a big, smooth runner with outstanding patience and balance. He has a unique style -- almost walking to the line of scrimmage before finding a crease, getting skinny and exploding through. He has outstanding contact balance, absorbing defenders and driving his feet for extra yards. He is elusive in space. He doesn't possess elite top-end speed, but he still hits some home runs (SEE: first play from scrimmage vs. Kansas State). He is an outstanding weapon in the passing game as a clean route runner with exceptional hands. Check out his one-handed catch vs. Oklahoma. He is firm in pass protection, but has been late to identify blitzers at times. Overall, Hall has an ideal skill set for today's game.
31
Boye Mafe
Minnesota · Edge · Senior (RS)
Mafe is an ascending edge rusher with an enticing blend of speed and power. He steadily improved throughout the season, culminating with an outstanding performance at the Reese's Senior Bowl. As a pass rusher, he has an explosive first step and his hand usage has started to come together. Early in the year, he was thinking too much and segmented in his movement. But as the season went on, he played much faster and connected his feet and hands. He can generate speed to power, and he is an exceptional finisher once he gets to the top of his rush. He can stack blocks and hold the point of attack in the run game. Overall, Mafe is still a raw prospect, but he’s trending in the right direction and provides double-digit sack upside.
32
Andrew Booth
Clemson · CB · Junior
Booth is an athletic, quick-footed cornerback with very good ball skills. In press coverage, he doesn’t throw his hands to re-route, but does a nice job of staying in the hip pocket of the wideout. He is fluid to open up and has enough speed to stay in phase versus vertical routes. He has been inconsistent in off coverage. Occasionally, he’s caught flat-footed and gives up plays over the top. However, he's very good on balls thrown in front of him. He has some pop out of his plant and he can find and play the ball. He’s a willing tackler, but he had some costly misses in the games I studied. Overall, Booth is still a work in progress, but I believe he’ll develop into a solid number No. 2 cornerback.
33
Kenneth Walker III
Michigan State · RB · Junior
Walker is a strong, compact runner with remarkable burst and balance. He excels running between the tackles. He is patient, setting up blocks and exploding through the line of scrimmage. He can absorb contact and powers through tacklers. Walker has enough speed to capture the perimeter and he hit a lot of home runs in the MSU offense. He wasn't much of a threat in the passing game, where he was utilized primarily on screens and checkdowns. He needs to improve his anchor in pass protection. Overall, Walker is a dynamic runner with plenty of growth potential in the passing game.
34
Arnold Ebiketie
Penn State · Edge · Senior (RS)
Ebiketie is a long, twitched-up edge rusher with a nonstop motor. He has an explosive get-off and routinely rocks offensive tackles with the power in his hands. He charges upfield before powering through the outside shoulder. He also has a violent swipe move and will occasionally cross the face of the tackle with a nifty inside counter move. He can really corner and finish at the top of his rush. He isn’t as dominant against the run, however. He ducks his head too often and gets washed by OTs and TEs. He lacks ideal block awareness, too. Still, the effort is always there to hustle and chase from the back side. Overall, Ebiketie is a gifted rusher who should rack up pressures/sacks while he learns to play the run with more consistency.
35
Kyler Gordon
Washington · CB · Junior (RS)
Gordon is a smooth athlete with an aggressive/physical play style. In press coverage, he doesn’t like to use his hands, but he is very smooth/fluid to open up and stay in position. He has great play speed and can gear down efficiently to work back downhill. He is very instinctive in off coverage. He is aware of down/distance and that allows him to take some chances and drive on the ball. He did lose one 50/50 battle in the tape I studied, but he has refined ball awareness/skills. Against the run, he is often used as a blitzer and he collected a handful of tackles right at or behind the line of scrimmage, including a big-time stop on the goal line against Michigan.
37
Travis Jones
Connecticut · DT · Senior
Jones is a big, powerful defensive tackle with surprising quickness. Against the pass, he can generate immediate knock-back and collapse the pocket. He uses a long inside-arm maneuver to walk centers right back to the quarterback. He flashes an explosive club move, but he needs to continue to add to his arsenal of pass-rush techniques. Against the run, he is stout versus both single and double teams. He can sink his weight and resist pressure on angle blocks. His effort is solid. Overall, Jones took his game to another level at the Reese's Senior Bowl and he has the ability to play on the other side of the line of scrimmage against both the run and pass.
38
Christian Harris
Alabama · LB · Junior
Harris is an explosive linebacker with intriguing upside, who improved every week. Against the pass, he’s been asked to cover RBs, TEs and occasionally slot receivers. He has the speed to match up and can find/play the ball, as evidenced by a deft pass breakup vs LSU. He is quick to identify screens and then explodes to make the play. He is an excellent tackler in space. Harris is also a very dynamic blitzer, rocketing through gaps for sacks and pressures. Against the run, he isn’t an instant key/diagnose player, but once he sees it, he has a burst to the line of scrimmage. He flashes the ability to aggressively take on blockers with his shoulder, but he gets stuck and swallowed too often. I’d like to see him use his hands more. Overall, the arrow is pointing up for Harris. His best football is ahead of him.
40
Matt Corral
Mississippi · QB · Junior (RS)
Corral is an undersized QB with excellent athleticism and a strong arm. He has quick feet in his setup and creates a lot of force from the ground to generate velocity. He has fast hands in the RPO game and a compact delivery. There are a lot of schemed winners in this system, and he delivers the ball accurately for big plays. He does a great job avoiding pressure to create with his legs or simply throw the ball away. His accuracy did suffer when he was forced to move and reset. He protected the ball better in 2021, throwing 10 fewer interceptions than he did in 2020. He is an explosive ball-carrier on scrambles and designed runs. However, he takes too much punishment because of his reckless/aggressive style. Overall, Corral has an intriguing skill set, but the size combined with his play style is a concern.
41
Jalen Pitre
Baylor · S · Senior (RS)
Pitre is a versatile safety with experience playing deep and in the slot. He has superb quickness, instincts and toughness. He has the fluidity to match up in man coverage underneath and he’s a dynamic blitzer. When aligned deep, he is quick to key/read and takes proper angles. He is a very reliable tackler. He doesn’t possess an elite size-speed combination, but he makes up for it with his natural feel for the game. Overall, I see Pitre as an immediate-impact defender.
43
Bernhard Raimann
Central Michigan · OT · Senior
Raimann has a fascinating story. He was a foreign exchange student from Austria, and he developed himself into a tight end prospect. In his third season at Central Michigan, he made the transition to left tackle. He is a fun player to study. In the passing game, he has enough foot quickness to handle speed rushers, and his combination of core and hand strength jumps off the screen. When he lands his punch, the play is over. He will occasionally get too wide with his base, which left him susceptible to counter moves. He is a mauler in the run game. He has knock-back power and looks to finish consistently. Overall, Raimann has picked up the position incredibly fast and should be a reliable starter early in his career.
44
Nik Bonitto
Oklahoma · Edge · Junior (RS)
Bonitto was a loose, explosive and versatile defender for the Sooners. Against the pass, he has fantastic snap anticipation and burst to win right away. He can really dip, bend and close at the top of the pass rush. He is fluid and fast in everything he does on the field. He has shown the agility to peel off and mirror tight ends in coverage, too. Oklahoma used him quite a bit to spy athletic QBs. Bonitto explodes to the alley and collects tackles when those QBs attempt to take off. Against the run, he needs to win with quickness. He will get pushed around and give up the edge. Overall, Bonitto is an exceptional athlete with pass-rush production and cover ability. If he adds some strength, he could emerge as a Pro Bowl talent.
45
Skyy Moore
Western Michigan · WR · Junior
Moore is an undersized wideout (5-10, 195) with phenomenal quickness, play strength and route polish. He split his time between lining up outside and in the slot for WMU. He is very sudden in his release and doesn't waste any steps at the top of routes. He attacks the leverage of cornerbacks and creates a lot of separation out of the break point. He has strong hands to attack the ball and he's very tough/sturdy after the catch. Moore bounces off tacklers on quick hitters and jet sweeps. He has excellent top speed when he gets in the open field. Overall, the lack of ideal size is the only knock on Moore. He should emerge as a dangerous playmaker very early in his career.
46
Christian Watson
North Dakota State · WR · Senior (RS)
Watson is a long, rangy wideout with remarkable fluidity and explosiveness. He lined up outside and was primarily used as a vertical weapon at NDSU. He gains ground in a hurry with his long stride, and he can change speeds when the ball goes up in the air. He ran by everyone he played against last season. Watson showed surprisingly good route skill at the Reese's Senior Bowl in February. He was able to win with quickness off the line and showed the ability to efficiently drop his weight and burst out of the break point down the field. He has a large catch radius, too. Overall, I thought Watson was a solid vertical/stretch receiver based on his game tape, but the Senior Bowl performance showed a more well-rounded talent. He could emerge as one of the best pass-catchers in this class.
48
Sam Howell
North Carolina · QB · Junior
Howell is a thick, compact quarterback with excellent arm strength, toughness and athleticism. I love the urgency in his drop before he settles at the top of the pocket. He has a quick release and he can really power the ball outside the numbers and down the field. He does this despite very little engagement from his lower half. He transfers his weight too early, with his back foot way off the ground. He has the ability to layer the ball accurately in the intermediate area of the field and he throws a beautiful, lofting deep ball. He has the athleticism to extend and create plays. He also has been effective on designed QB runs, bouncing off tackles and showing surprising burst in the open field. Howell does take too many sacks (at least 33 in each of his three seasons, including 48 in 2021) and tried to force too many throws this past season. However, his entire supporting cast left after the 2020 campaign and that had an impact on his production in 2021. Overall, he has NFL-starter ability.
49
David Ojabo
Michigan · Edge · Sophomore (RS)
Ojabo was a very productive edge rusher for the Wolverines despite sharing play time. He has ideal size, explosiveness and fluidity for the position. He brings a dynamic get-off, and once he gets to the top of his rush, he can bend and flatten to the quarterback. His hands are still a work in progress. The dip/rip move is his bread and butter, but he needs to add to his arsenal. He does flash the ability to generate power and is an outstanding finisher, often dislodging the ball upon arrival. He is raw against the run. He turns his shoulder instead of using his hands to hold the point of attack. Overall, Ojabo is still learning how to play the game, but he has as much talent as any pass rusher in this draft. Unfortunately, his 2022 season is now in doubt after he suffered a torn Achilles at Michigan's pro day.
50
Logan Hall
Houston · DT · Senior
Hall is a long, rangy defensive tackle with room to add weight. As a pass rusher, he comes off the ball a little too high, but he's incredibly quick and has an assortment of maneuvers to generate pressure. He has a violent club/swim move, a rip move and pure power. He also has an explosive counter move, showcasing his agility. Against the run, he can get skinny to slip blocks and make plays in the backfield. He has big-time burst and lateral range. However, he does struggle versus double teams. He's too high and can be uprooted. He plays with excellent effort, though. I think he might benefit from a move to the perimeter, keeping him away from the noise/chaos inside. He reminds me of Marcus Davenport coming out of college.

NFL Draft 2022: Ten defensive fits for the Browns on Day 2
Updated: Apr. 28, 2022, 11:56 p.m. | Published: Apr. 28, 2022, 11:40 p.m.
By Matt Goul, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Without a pick in the first round of the draft because of their trade for Deshaun Watson, the Browns now enter Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft with three picks.
They will start with the 12th pick in the second round (No. 44) Friday night, followed by two third-round picks at Nos. 78 and 99.
Here are 10 defensive players they could consider, based on needs and who is left on the board:
Nik Bonitto, Oklahoma edge rusher
Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 248 pounds
Why consider him? A year ago, we pegged Bonitto as a potential first-round pick in our early 2022 mock draft because Pro Football Focus rated him the top returning edge rusher from the 2020 season. The potential is there. Bonitto had seven sacks with 15 tackles for loss in 2021 and earned All-Big 12 second team. He can move, too, evidenced by his 70-yard fumble recovery last season. While Baker Mayfield is on the way out, another Oklahoma standout could make his way in.
Arnold Ebiketie, Penn State edge rusher
Height, weight: 6-2, 250
Why consider him? Ebiketie had 9.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss in his redshirt senior season for Penn State. He made the All-America second team and blocked two field goals.
Logan Hall, Houston defensive tackle
Height, weight: 6-6, 283
Why consider him? Hall’s versatility up front sets him apart, whether it’s his power for the interior or his length and agility to come off the edge for pass-rushing situations. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah fell to the second round last year because of his tweener status. Hall could fit that mold, just a much bigger one up front.
Chance Nolan, Drake Jackson
Oregon State quarterback Chance Nolan, right, throws as Southern California linebacker Drake Jackson (99) closes in during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, in Los Angeles. AP
Drake Jackson, USC edge rusher
Height, weight: 6-3, 273
Why consider him? Another potential first-rounder when we looked ahead last year, Jackson finished his junior season in Southern California with five sacks and eight tackles for loss. He made All-Pac 12 second team and missed one game because of injury. The Browns have dipped into the former five-star prospect pool before under general manager Andrew Berry. Into Day 2, they should be able to grab a former four-star recruit.
Travis Jones, Connecticut defensive tackle
Height, weight: 6-4, 325
Why consider him? Jones had a team-high 4.5 sacks last fall for the Huskies. He started for three years with UConn as a three-technique and nose tackle in four-man fronts. He fills a need at a position that has seen some makeovers in Cleveland the last two years.

DeMarvin Leal, Texas A&M defensive tackle
Height, weight: 6-4, 283
Why consider him? Leal is coming off an All-America second-team season with the Aggies. He had 12.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks in 2021, his third season at Texas A&M. He can play inside or out, and that versatility should make him a prized commodity for defenses. His five-star status coming out of high school fits that potential category that has attracted Browns general manager Andrew Berry.
cleveland.com Mock Draft pick: David Ojabo
Michigan defensive lineman David Ojabo runs a drill during the NFL football scouting combine, Saturday, March 5, 2022, in Indianapolis. AP
David Ojabo, Michigan edge rusher
Height, weight: 6-4, 250
Why consider him? Ojabo suffered a torn Achilles during his pro day workout in March, and it is expected to keep him out for about six months. He had been projected as a first-round pick, but that stock has taken a hit with the injury. Ojabo had 11 sacks last season for the Wolverines, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors. His five forced fumbles set a single-season school record.
John Ridgeway, Arkansas defensive tackle
Height, weight: 6-5, 321
Why consider him? In the third round, Ridgeway could be an option if the Browns go in another direction with the 44th and 78th picks. He transferred from Illinois State to join the Razorbacks for a productive 2021 season that included 39 total tackles and two sacks.

Tyreke Smith, Ohio State edge rusher
Height, weight: 6-3, 254
Why consider him? Smith could fall to the fourth round, but if the Browns don’t go with an edge rusher in the second round, he could be among the best options when picking in the third. Cleveland Heights has produced its share of All-Pros, including Travis and Jason Kelce. Smith had three sacks, but he missed three games because of injury and still made All-Big Ten second team.
Perrion Winfrey, Oklahoma defensive tackle
Height, weight: 6-4, 290
Why consider him? Winfrey spent two years at Iowa Western Community College before becoming an All-Big 12 second-team selection the last two years. He blocked a field goal in 2020 and last year had 11 tackles for loss with 5.5 sacks. Winfrey earned MVP honors at the Senior Bowl.

NFL Draft 2022: Five offensive prospects the Browns could be targeting at No. 44
Updated: Apr. 29, 2022, 12:41 a.m. | Published: Apr. 29, 2022, 12:41 a.m.
By Jonathan X. Simmons, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The first round of the 2022 NFL Draft is in the books. Each of the Browns’ AFC North rivals had at least one pick in the opening round. The Browns’ first opportunity comes Friday at No. 44 (for now).
Six receivers -- Drake London, Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, Jahan Dotson and Treylon Burks -- were chosen Friday. With Jarvis Landry still undecided in the free agent market, and Rashard Higgins’ departure to Carolina, receiver could be an area of need the Browns decide to address.
It’s also been noted how big of a year this is for offensive tackle Jedrick Wills. Injuries caused him and a few other linemen to miss some time last season, and it would not be much of a surprise to see Browns GM Andrew Berry add some depth to the trenches.
Here’s a look at the best available offensive weapons the Browns could take at No. 44.
George Pickens, Wide Receiver, Georgia
Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 200 pounds
Why him? If it were not for a torn ACL in March 2021, it’s likely that Pickens would already have an employer. A five-star recruit out of high school, something we know appeals to Browns General Manager Andrew Berry, Pickens was Georgia’s leading receiver as a true freshman in 2019. He played just 63 snaps over four games this season, reeling in five catches for 107 yards. He runs a 4.47-second 40-yard dash. He may need to add some muscle, but the 21 year old would be an enticing option.
Christian Watson
If Christian Watson is available for the Browns at No. 44 overall, it seems like an easy call.AP
Christian Watson, Wide Receiver, North Dakota State
Height, weight: 6-foot-5, 208 pounds
Why him? Watson’s size and athleticism make him an intriguing prospect. After all, it’s not often 6-5 guys have 38.5-inch verticals and can run the 40 in 4.36 seconds. He had 43 catches for 801 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021, and was named second-team Associated Press FCS All-American. The son of former NFL safety Tim Watson, Christian Watson can out-physical smaller defenders and speed past bigger ones. He also has an elusiveness that, when combined with his speed, would be a major asset in the return game.
Bernhard Raimann, Offensive Tackle, Central Michigan
Height, weight: 6-foot-6, 303 pounds
Why him? A native of Austria, Raimann moved from tight end to tackle during the pandemic. He plays with a mean streak, using his massive 10-inch hands and surprising athletic ability, as well as his massive frame to ward off defenders or move to the second level. He’s explosive off the line and brings some pop at the point of attack when run blocking. A first team All-Mid-American Conference selection, Raimann’s potential is through the roof.
Skyy Moore, Wide Receiver, Western Michigan
Height, weight: 5-foot-10, 195 pounds
Why him? Moore led Western Michigan with 95 catches for 1,292 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. A twitchy athlete with a 4.41 second 40-yard dash, he led FBS wideouts with 26 broken tackles. Moore played cornerback and quarterback in high school, but seemlessly switched to receiver. He has reliable, 10-inch hands and uses his shiftiness to create separation both before and after the catch. He has excellent ball skills and great feet, which will help his transition.
Saban
Alabama wide receiver John Metchie III is another draft prospect who had his draft status affected by a late-season injury. AP
John Metchie III, Wide Receiver, Alabama
Height, weight: 6-feet, 195 pounds
Why consider him? Had he not suffered an ACL tear in the SEC Championship against Georgia, Metchie could have easily made a case for the best route runner in the draft. He was a huge part of the Crimson Tide offense with 96 receptions, 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns in 2021. He masterfully sets defenders up before using his explosiveness to create space. Metchie quickly shifts gears to accelerate or hit the brakes, and he’s not afraid to take a hit in traffic.
https://www.cleveland.com/sports/20...-browns-could-be-targeting-at-no-44.html
Damn - I forget to include the TE ... TREY MCBRIDE ... add him to my list.
I wont be shocked for us to draft a TE every year while Stefanski is here
j/c:
EbIiktie is another guy I really like, but I can't see him being. available at 44.
Travis Jones is a nice possibility.
There are hints that Tampa is going to take DL with pick 33, so he could go right away. There are a few DL options here early
It would be hard to pass on Ebiketie.
I love his potential as a pass rusher. He has that blend of power, speed and bend. Powerful legs on that dude.
I like Logan Hall because he has the body type and athleticism to play DE and DT. In some ways he reminds me of Sheldon Richardson.
Myles can loop inside and Hall can come from the edge. Myles did that often with Richardson.
Still a bunch of good receivers.
I am excited about our pick. There is a load of good players and options. Berry is in a good spot.
IMO we are set up well in rounds two and three.
My guy for some reason I just don't get and it baffles me but I want him here and not a soul, professional or amateur evaluators alike are not talking about him.
I'm talking about my #1 guy for us to take at #44 : SAM WILLIAMS. I just don't get it. The kid can fly and he has a great motor. Played in the SEC recorded 12.5 sacks in 13 games also had 4 forced fumbles. And he is no slacker in his Run D either but would be the perfect 3rd DE for us especially on passing downs. He had a sexual assault charge in 2020 but no where close to what Watson is going through. He has be clean ever since his reinstatement in 2020 I believe he played 8 games. But that is the only baggage I read about him. Did he fail a drug test??? I want him.
I have no clue why Dean is still available and how did Quay get taken before him? But I seriously doubt he will be available after 5 picks in the 2nd round are made...he will be gone. In lieu of that my choices in order for our #44 pick is.
1. Sam Williams (edge)
2. Travis Jones (DT)
3. Perrion Winfrey (DT)
4. Trey McBride (TE)
Given me one of those please!
DE Josh Paschal or DE Drake Jackson.
There may be a run on edge rushers before we pick tonight. About 8 of the 11 picks in front of us could use them. Our best choice might be going WR or DL or moving up. I like Mafe, Hall, Williams, Leal and stringbean Watson. I expect Dean and Ebiketie will be gone but I trust we won't be disappointed in our pick. Plenty of good players will be there.
Forgot about Winfrey. He’d be a good pick too
I think Drake Jackson ends up as the Browns pick.
I'm going with Travis Jones.
If Nakobe Dean makes it to 44 it would be difficult to pass that up, but aside from him, I agree with Travis Jones.
Give me Ojabo. Could be back in time for the playoffs, and he is just scratching the surface as a player. We have to take first round talents where we can as we won't have the picks naturally post-Watson trade for a bit. We can get by with Clowney, Myles, Winovich, and Weatherly during the season. Once it's go time, Ojabo could be a nice fast ball with Clowney kicking inside.
Could also see Booth, the Clemson DB, being a surprise choice if he's still on the board.
Probably Drake Jackson, though.
I'm still on the Erik Ezukanma train for WR depth that we can hopefully get later. Flashes some Deebo-like YAC.
Yeah. My guess was based on who I thought would be gone by the time Berry picks. There are some players I would have chosen before Travis Jones if I felt they would still have been left on the board.
Dean would be tough for me to pass up as well
If we Land any of these 3 I will be a happy camper today:
Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia (No. 14 overall)
George Pickens, WR, Georgia (No. 32 overall)
Logan Hall, DT, Houston (No. 40 overall)
Arnold Ebiketie, EDGE, Penn State (No. 41 overall)
Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State (No. 47 overall)
Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan (No. 50 overall)
Trey McBride, TE, Colorado State (No. 51 overall)
DeMarvin Leal, DT, Texas A&M (No. 64 overall)
Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama (No. 67 overall)
Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC (No. 72 overall)
Nik Bonitto, EDGE, Oklahoma (No. 73 overall)
Jeremy Ruckert, TE, Ohio State (No. 75 overall)
Khalil Shakir, WR, Boise State (No. 77 overall)
John Metchie II, WR, Alabama (No. 78 overall)
Travis Jones, DT, UCONN (No. 81 overall)
Dean would be tough for me to pass up as well
Agreed - but given the 11 picks before we get to #44 I am pretty sure Dean will be gone.
j/c,
In the passed two Drafts with AB at the helm ... the LB position is the top position selected with (3), picks from the position.
Excellent post ojabo could deliver us super bowl
Has 1st overall measurables.
If Nakobe Dean makes it to 44 it would be difficult to pass that up, but aside from him, I agree with Travis Jones.
Nakobe Dean and JOK on the same team would be sick. We will go WR early for sure, but not necessarily at 44.
This link has scounting reports from professional scouts.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles...board-best-remaining-players-after-day-1
Logan Hall, Pickens, Ebiketie, Justyn Ross, Objabo are the highest rankings.
the link has detailed reports.
The off the field questions with Pickens seem legit. I would pass.
I see 5 teams that could trade for Mayfield ... And 1 Other Surprise Team:
1. NYG
2. Texans
3. Seattle
4. Lions
5. Carolina
5. TB
I want John Metchie III, Wr Alabama, and I want him at pick #44.
I think he would help the team in the short run, and help the team in the long run too!
And I think he compliments well the players already on the team.
Like a Wayne Chrebet.

I feel like if the Texans wanted Mayfield, they would have included him in the Watson trade. They're playing (or tanking) for next year's draft.

Whoops
The Packers taking Christian Watson makes a ton of sense. He can probably be their #1.
Titans take a corner. That’s good for us.
How are the Jets getting so many picks?
4 in the top 36 picks
I’d like to hang out with Billy “White Shoes” Johnson
Jets take a running back. Cooking with gas if the Seahawks don’t take a QB with either of these upcoming picks.
Falcons please take Willis!
Looking better with every pick
Falcons please take Willis!
Edge guy off the board.
Where are you getting your picks from so early?
Just what the dudes on Twitter say. They’re way ahead. I’ll stop because I know some like the TV version
Elon Musk invented a new website called Twitter.com
Yea, they just announced the pick now
I’ll stop because I know some like the TV version
Thanks
They probably shouldn't have it on TV anymore, just.post the picks on Twitter
Where are you getting your picks from so early?
I have the NFL.com tracker going and it is way behind these guys.
I am somewhat limited, proctoring a final. Nothing better than a Friday night final exam.
We still have quite a few good options

Boye Mafe is gone, Boye Mafe is gone, gone to the seahawks with the #40 pick, so anyone hoping the Browns would draft Boye Mafe, are now skunk out of luck. The Defensive end from Minnesota

I think we can still pick him.
Seahawks took a running back. This is breaking nicely.
Prepare for the Commercial break,
and the hault on announcing of picks right about the time the Browns pick.
Texans aren't trading for him - they like their QB they drafted last year
Here is the comes the Seahawks trade for Mayfield.
I thought he declined buying it
Kwesi going full nerd draft.
Boye Mafe is gone, Boye Mafe is gone, gone to the seahawks with the #40 pick, so anyone hoping the Browns would draft Boye Mafe, are now skunk out of luck. The Defensive end from Minnesota

I want John Metchie III, the Wr that led the Crimson tide in catches in 2021 and was first or 2nd in receiving yards for their last 2 years.
edit: 2021 not 2022, and 99 catches.
I was afraid the Colts would go Wr
Vikings with the corner. We are at pick 43. Then Browns.
Wow, Dean, Ojabo and Moore there at our pick
So who we taking? Sky Moore? Dean?
So who we taking? Sky Moore? Dean?
My heart tells me Dean. My head tells me Moore.
Giants took a wide receiver.
Giants took a wide receiver.
well.. guess we have to take Dean...
Wow, that Vikings dude thought the Draft was all about him and wouldn't shut up.
WIll you guys quite announcing the pick before the TV does.
It's really annoying.
Wow... ok... guess we could still take Sky...
Wow that was out of the blue. Pickens, Dean, Moore and Ojabo. I say Ojabo is just too far away from seeing the field.
WIll you guys quite announcing the pick before the TV does.
It's really annoying.
Your gripe is with the tv taking too long to announce the picks.
Browns traded pick to Texans!
Wow... guess we've got a little more time before we pick... first pick at 78?
Texans took Metchie with our pick.
Now the RATS will take Dean !!!!
Texans took Metchie with our pick.
Since cfrs can't control his premature annunciation, I'm outta here.
We just passed on some very good players. Not sure I understand this move.
we need an explanation please.
The Texans got a football player at pick #44,
The Browns got Anthony Sch w artz I mean Schwartz.
I was all pumped up for our pick and now we have to wait even longer? I think I'll watch something else. lol
Why aren't they talking about the Browns trade?
We just passed on some very good players. Not sure I understand this move.
The Browns don't care about winning .
Did we trade out of the 2nd round??
Don’t love this trade. Of course, I don’t know that they won’t trade back up. They probably know where they’ll have a few different options that fit their board
Ojabo to the Ravens of course
The FO thinks this draft is garbage. And I agree.
j/c.
Will not be surprised to see the Browns trade back up into the second round if a player they like keeps falling. Plenty of ammo now to do so.
This is How Analytics Sucks!
The Browns received the No. 68, No. 108, and No. 124 picks in exchange for No. 44.
Ravens get the perfect pick.
The Browns seriously traded their 2nd for a 3rd and 2 4ths???????
There has to be more than swapping to down to 3rd round....we have to get something else

We do, I'm just kidding.
I'm not allowed to post that.
Well the little I read about this draft said the value was in the middle rounds. So there’s that.
Well for two extra 4th round picks I sure hope our scouts know what their doing.
Obviously this means we end up with the best player in the draft:
Punt God
Andrew Berry, Go Away!
J/c:
The Browns seem to view this draft as if it was the 2013 draft.
Somehow we're going to try and select David Veikune again. I can feel it
Well for two extra 4th round picks I sure hope our scouts know what their doing.
If they Knew what they were doing, they'd be able to decide on a pick!
We've been through this in years past with Gms who traded picks and drafted Division 2 projects like the one from Chadron State!
Either you can, don't know, or don't care to put the work in or don't care to make a decision, because you want to be some analyzer
This is why they will be in 4th place in the division every year in the forseable future. AGAIN!
Don't pick on Veikune. He almost had a big tackle in that one game on special teams, hater!
Don't pick on Veikune. He almost had a big tackle in that one game on special teams, hater!
At least he had the wild hair going for him.
Pickens to the Steelers should be popular on here.
Anyone else think of Will Smith when Claypool mentioned the browns??
Get my team's name out ya friggin mouth!!!
Run on WRs... 3 of last 4 picks WRs....
And what's up with Dean?? still falling....
Moore to Chiefs... should do really well there...
Guaranteed 12th place or worse in the AFC!
I bet we get Dean, or did I miss him going?
I bet we get Dean, or did I miss him going?
Hasn’t gone
They can still find a 300 pound Nose Tackle,
and we can hear for about the 35th straight year how the Offense Doesn't score any points, the passing game is subpar, and there is not chance for the Browns to come back on a 4th quarter offensive drive.
I bet they use those extra picks to load up on sleeper WRs in a deep draft. Value, is Berry's MO.
But I think we've seen that movie before.
This the first time I have truly questioned Berry
It's hard to find any positive in Anything the Browns have done this offseason!
This the first time I have truly questioned Berry
🤣
What are our picks now? Anyone got a list?
This the first time I have truly questioned Berry
Patience, Pastor. It will be fine
Crazy that the QBs are still there. The Steelers seem like the jumped the gun taking Pickett when they did.
If Berry lands a couple of guys who have fallen, like Dean and Winfrey, he'll be a genius.

I bet they are committed to taking a player that won't impact the offense, and they traded down so when they finaly do make a pick, they can pretend it had more value.
they'll say, " See we still got our, Big immobile Nose Tackle, and we did it at pick 90 instead of 44, So, they'll try to put the
propaganda "spin" machine into, "well they got more value,
but in the end
they still wont be able to score points in the 4th quarter, and wasn't that at least a major problem last year.
Slowpoke.
I didn’t like any of them, but I didn’t expect them to drop this far. Usually there are a couple teams that will take a gamble
Heard Dean had a partial pec tear and decided against surgery which is making teams worried that is might be an issue next season
Berry could go BPA the next two rounds and win the draft.

Every Pick after #104 overall, HISTORICALLY, may as well be a the same as a UDFA, after 2.5 years. It's a lottery ticket.
Someone check on Nakobe Dean to make sure he still has two legs.
I think Cameron Thomas is going to be a target in the third round, along with Travis Jones.
I’m happy with our only pick so far…..Deshaun Watson!
Berry could go BPA the next two rounds and win the draft.
But will it translate to September-February.
There are a few DTs and Dean on the board that I like

Pick 104, that seem sort of random. Pick 104 good, pick 105 bad. Solid logic there.
j/c...
San Fran gets Drake Jackson....bummer.
I am shocked that Willis is still on the board. I could see Riddler dropping, but not willis
Throw has perfect logic bro. He based that on cutting a deck of cards, but there are only 52, and we all know they do a top 100 list to make money, so they need that many... what do you do? Use two decks, 104 cards... all that is left is jokers and rules guys who can't be played.
I am shocked that Willis is still on the board. I could see Riddler dropping, but not willis
Willis’ tools are so great. Pretty shocking.
The Browns 2022 draft, so far
is WORSE than the steelers 2021 draft.
Someone check on Nakobe Dean to make sure he still has two legs.
Go take a look back at history, it holds up!
Dean would be such an Andrew Berry type pick.
Just a couple more picks to go ......
Crazy that the QBs are still there. The Steelers seem like the jumped the gun taking Pickett when they did.
Dunno... probably could have gotten him later, but if another team liked him and he turns out to be there starter then I think it's worth it...
when was the last time we only had 1 QB in the first two rounds...
Dean would be such an Andrew Berry type pick.
He and JOK playing with a draft fall chip? Hmm...
Losers !
I don't care if any quarterback gets selected in all 7 rounds, It shouldn't matter.
on the clock... again... do we pick this time.....
Go take a look back at history, it holds up!
\
Your not exactly exposing any knowledge to the light. History can show you a lot of things. How far back in history did you go? 10 years, 15 years, 1933? Of course 4th round picks and down are less likely to have an impact. But quality players still get drafted. Would your logic would be not to choose anyone or trade anything after a 3rd for nothing. Historically the result is the same, I hear.
It seems more like a reason to whine about Berry.
Nakobe Dean or Travis Jones would be awesome in this spot.
i,m thinking Myjai Sanders.
Another CB?? We have 20 of them now
Don't know about this pick.
Don't know about this pick.
Neither does anyone else (including the front office).
I was thinking that we might go Cb with #78
That was before we traded #44.
I liked Coby Bryant and Marcus Jones better
I think they are trying for worst draft of all time!!!!
The NFL announcers had no clue who he was. Way to trade out of the 2nd round for that pick!
Remaining picks:
Third round, 79th overall
Third round, 99th overall (compensatory)

Or ....

No. We took the corner from Mississippi State.
Dean or Winfrey next please
Somone a while back in this thread posted a link to profiles of the best available prospects after round one. IN that listing he is the 3rd best remaining CB in day 2.
Dean or Winfrey next please
It looks like Dean is medically a mess. He’s going to keep falling.
I think I'd have been more excited if we took a kicker/punter
This is on Par with the Giants thinking Daniel Jones could be a decent quarterback in the NFL.
This is on par with bringing Hue Jackson back for his 3rd year as Head Coach of your football team.
I think I'd have been more excited if we took a kicker/punter
Obviously.
If we go WR , Khalil Shakir is pretty solid. runs a 4.43.
I wish the Ravens weren’t so smart.
Ravens have had a good one
Ravens have had a good one
Yes, as always...
This only strengthens any suspicisions I have/or had that the Browns, secretly have some in their midst who sabotage winning.
j/c:
Other than the Dorsey year, the Ravens seemingly slaughter us in the draft year after year after year. And even in that year, we took Baker #1 and they got Lamar at 32. CAn't believe we passed on Ojabo.
And for the record, watch Skyy Moore destroy the middle of the field w/Mahomes in KC.
Remaining picks:

I think Indy is having a nice draft. Ballard, their GM, worked w/Dorsey in KC. These guys have a knack for identifying talent.
Perrion Winfrey still available. As is
Majai Sanders
Kingsley Enagore
Leo Chenal
Zach Tom
David Bell
Calvin Austin
Khalil Shakir
And a bunch of TE's
Not only did the Panthers trade up for a QB in the third round, they gave up a future third round pick to do it. That third rounder is going to be something like the 97th pick next year.

KC started off a bit slow, but they are actually conducting a very intelligent draft.
The Coverage of the NFL draft was insufficient!!
There were many picks that were overlooked, not spoken about at all, there was no integrity to the full list of names being read.
We need More Reading of the names in the order they were picked and to the team they went!
The hosts were too cavalier and uncommitted to the seriousness of the process, it became very unprofessional!!
The reading of the names is Paramount!!!
KC started off a bit slow, but they are actually conducting a very intelligent draft.
Of course they would, why would we expect anything less than intelligience they are the Kansas City Chiefs franchise, it's not like they are the Cleveland Browns. There are 32 NFL teams and most of them can stick with a plan and continuity.
This the first time I have truly questioned Berry
But not the first time we have questioned you.
Ok...being a bit harsh. Mostly kidding.
I see it that when we traded back it was a matter of the board not going our way and felt it better to trade back further in to a range in the draft where we have more targeted players.
As for who and why we drafted the players we did, the FO has studied this way more than any of us have, so TRUST is the word to follow, so I trust that 1-2 of them are going to end up pretty solid players, and i think they will.
I like the DB selected and he does fill a need,,,at least a need next year when both Green and Greedy's contracts expire. I doubt we can sign both of them. I also think the Bell pick was solid. He may not be a take it to the yard type player, but he will be a chain mover. I am good with that. The DE...??
I think they are trying for worst draft of all time!!!!
I doubt that as I have a lot of respect for our FO. It does seem somewhat 'uninspiring' so far and frankly, put me to sleep. Outside of the trading action, this has been a very dull draft.
I knew a little bit about a few players.
Can not pretend to know more than those who put in all the work to know all the players.
I have no idea how we did?
All the players that I liked ended up on other teams. Kinda of a normal draft to me. I will learn about the ones the Browns selected after we select them.
It appears that some are for future plans. Some are guys we hope to develop.
My guess is we will still sign some veteran players.
We're up again in 7 picks. (corrected mistake)
Does it matter? No, they freaking Blew It!
It seems like you sucked out all the juice from the last bag so here you go, another bag to suck on today.

I completely agree with but I think it has been happening for a few years and I didn't notice. They are doing to the draft what they did to the Super Bowl. It is not longer really about selections as the presenters have started getting more emphasis. What was with taht two guys , one on the other's shoulder. People complained about ED Marinaro for taking long but he was one of the least annoying to me.
I miss teh all-day events on Tuesday. Much more analysis and info.
I watched ESPN because it's really hard for me to watch Rich Eisen on NFL Network. I like the other guys like Warner, Mooch, and the Playmaker, but Eisen's arrogance is nauseating.
Louis Riddick and Mel Kiper did a great job on ESPN of analyzing the players. Very insightful and Greeny knows how to stay out of the way and keep things moving. I enjoyed it.
I waited a day to post because I was upset with what we did in the second round. I listened to Berry and now I don't feel any better. Hopefully we pick up some contributors with those extra picks. I understand what we did, I just don't agree with it.
The only reason I avoided ESPN was because of Kiper. I watched his shtick for decades and it just got old for me. I prefer both Todd McShay and Daniel Jeremiah over Kiper. So I watched ABC on Thursday with McShay but ABC kept him muzzled for the most part so the very person who knew the draft best spoke the least. I was very disappointed. I'm not a big Eison fan either, but I try to watch the draft for player information and player breakdown not so much the talking heads. That's why I tried the NFL Network last night. It was better.
The draft has just gone too Hollywood for my taste. I understand why. The NFL has made it into a giant three day event with two of those days being prime broadcasts. So the idea is to bring non fans and casual fans to view it. They know they already have people like us who have always watched it. So they "jazz it up" to draw a broader audience. But the fact that I understand why they do it doesn't mean that I like it. As fans most of us are information guys. Watching it now is more Hollywood and less football.

They are always trying to make things "better" and in doing so they make it worse. I don't care for the schtick either. All flash, little substance. I used to like the occasional retired player announcing the pick but I don't get these so called celebrities that I never heard of making the picks. I do like the Make a Wish foundation picks. How about insted of celebrities each team randomly picks a season ticket holder?
I want analysis and highlights of the players. THe draft should be about football, not the glitz.
Rant over -> for now
I record and watch all three channels
I suggest you skip even bothering with the ABC coverage. It was hot garbage.
