i just watched some of him 1vs1 in practice and i can see why he went udfa - he's inconsistent and sometimes reads the corner wrong - his hands are also inconsistent but he's got good height and length and good deep speed with some decent short area quickness - he breaks well even when he reads wrong although he doesnt sell fakes particularly well at the moment - he's a nice developmental guy to have in the building and if he comes on quick then maybe there's a place for him here

I agree with your assessment. He's going to need a couple of years of coaching to make any kind of impact.

He seems like the perfect "ankle injury IR stash" for the next year or two.

Idk i like bowser more than Anderson. Bowser has the length and more twitch. I know anderson is a fan favourite but Bowser brings much more value with bis versatility. Has much more upside as well. 

I hope Watt busts lol. Pittsburg usnt great at drafting OLBs anyways. Kinda like us and recievers its funny how that works cause its vice versa with who we draft well

I hope Watt busts but he just looks like a damn good football player on film. One of the most athletically gifted OLB's tested at the combine, a never ending motor and still learning the position and best days are a couple years in front of him? I would have been ecstatic if the Ravens would of somehow got him.

At points you just have to give it up to another FO and nod in agreement in the pick. Not the same situation but exactly like the Browns with Garrett. If they would have taken Trubisky over him, that would have set them back another 5 years.

Williams was never a starter in college and typically just played on passing downs. Not sure I see him stepping up in playing level and starting in the NFL against better competition. He will probably just be a 3rd down pass rusher for a couple years. 

Side note: we really love drafting old guys for some reason. Read Bowser and Williams are already 24 years old. I seem to remember that we recently drafted a guy or two that were extremely old, also.

What the heck? is going on? Are we trying to have the worst offense in the league?!

The trade downs the Ravens did got them a 5th round pick who matched the production.  Basically the Ravens have great players for years at 9 of the 11 starting positions on defense, would I like it be 11? Of course but I can't complain about where the defense is right now.

Great players at 9 of the 11 positions? That is an extremely rosey evaluation of our current defensive starters.

I still liked White and Conley a bit more than Humphrey. I had Humphrey on the same level as King and a couple others. Thought he was a late 1st early 2nd type guy. 

The disappointment of the pick comes from who else was on the board when we picked. Can't believe we couldn't trade back at all with what was there still. 

Even without the tradeback, I would have taken Foster, Allen and Howard over Humphrey. Howard would have been my choice. He's going to be one of the best TE's in the league. Could have given Flacco a great underneath guy and we all know how he loves those.

I just don't understand attacking an area on the team that is a perceived strength when there are so many other holes. I guess we are looking to win games 14-13 this year. I don't think the philosophy will work. Our offense is just in shambles.

I accidently pulled Twitter up and saw who the Browns traded back into the first for. Let's just say they had to get ahead of Pittsburgh so like Cincy and us the past two years, the Browns just took someone the Steelers were surely targeting. 

The Browns probably jumped the Steelers to take Kizer bc they actually believed the Steelers would take him.

Foster to the Steelers. Would they actually take him?

I know that a trade needs two parties, but how couldn't we get one with that much insane value on the board??! Humphrey would have been there in 5-10 picks!

YIKESSSS WAS THAT HORRIBLE!!

That means there is no way Mike Williams is falling to us.

Wow that was bad. Dumb move for them.

Jamal Adams

Not a lot of people want to hear this, but if we have any shot of having just an average O line, I think the first pick needs to be OL. 

There are basically no starting material players past round 1. After round 1, they will be developmental and probably not ready to start.

Don't care whether he was a headcase or not. He just simply wasn't very good for where we drafted him. That was a big miss by Ozzie.

The damage has been done it seems, it's cost him a boat load of money which seems to be the main objective of the bogus claims. 

If it truly is a bogus claim, he should waste no time in suing that female. She has cost him $10's of millions.

Won't ruin the night for anyone but Browns fans. What's more entertaining than seeing the Browns fail.

Well yeah I agree it is fun watching them fail year after year. I meant more so in terms of fireworks happening during the draft.

O.J. Howard has the higher ceiling to be a better TE than Williams and Davis have of being WR's.

But the Ravens have what seems like 7 average TE's and a massive need at WR. 

So a coin flip seems like the proper outcome. Personally, I'd take Howard in a heartbeat. But it's not going to happen.

Browns gonna Brown.  Please let the former actually happen

 

The level of stupidity in their FO will be unquestioned if they take Trubisky at 1 over MG. 

It will really ruin the night becaue if the Browns do that, it basically takes all the fun out of the top half of the draft. He's one or may be the only true trade up target being talked about.

don't forget the chargers and bengals

Yep, I am convinced the Cardinals are taking a WR. Where another one goes is a complete mystery to me. I think Davis and Williams will be off the board by the time we are up. Basically the guys that I'd like will be gone. Williams, Davis and Barnett. 

We will end up taking Foster, Lamp or Robinson and I'll be upset.

Too many are enamored with these QB's. Honestly, none of these guys should go before our pick. None are good enough. And if a case were to be made, strictly football skill speaking, Watson would be the only one worth arguing.

Browns will be the Browns and continue taking QB's until something sticks. That's a given and will probably be one QB. Other than that, I don't think another QB is taken. Unless trades start flying and teams start getting antsy. I really don't see that much of a downfall between QB's 1-6. All have their faults and upside. I don't think it is worth it to trade a draft away for any of these guys.

Don't know why everyone thinks this. I think Davis and Ross are way better fits for Tennessee. The receivers they have already are those posession type guys. They lost Wright and will likely want to replace that in their offense especially since they are run first. If they go receiver I think Davis and Ross would be better fits for them.

A couple more teams in front of us are looking at WR also. It's not just the Titans.

I'm pretty sure the FO is coming to the conclusion that Mike Williams will not be there for our pick.

Safe to say that we need to nail this draft.

Seeing that Peppers is believed to go mid to late second round. Any chance he would make it to our 2nd round pick? Any interest?
