    I'd agree with you. But I still want them to pass up on Garrett for Trubisky. It'd be a lousy pick by virtue of Garrett probably becoming an all pro. And even with a good situation like that.... they're the browns. They'll find ways to lose

    Yeah they will find a way to mess it up, it is crazy how much opportunity they have had in the past that they have just thrown away. Those 2012 and 2014 drafts were amazing at how awful they were

    My mistake on Mitch guys. I had him slated to be the first QB off the board, must have forgotten to put him back when I did some changes last week.

     

    ill fix it when I get home.

     

    that said, I think he's gonna suck and I hope the browns draft him #1 overall in real life

    I think he has potential if sheltered a la Rodgers but if he is thrown out there year 1 it is gonna be a rough ride with him

    I take the under on both.

    Dont see Zay Jones, JuJu, Godwin or anyone else sneaking into the 1st with all the pass rushers and CB's that will be available.

    And definitely the under on RB's. I wouldnt be surprised at all to see Cook fall out of the 1st... but even if he doesnt i dont see any way Mixon, Kamara, Foreman, etc... go in the 1st -- again bc of the all defensive talent available. Plus, after TB there really arent many RB/WR needy teams. Det/Sea/GB/KC maybe for RB. But i think all will have better players at bigger needs.

    McCaffrey, Fournette, Cook I think all go in the first

    Also Williams, Davis, and Ross I think all go in the first.

    I am wondering if anyone here has figured out my second screen name.

    I have two accounts and I created a second account to mess with people.  ( I wasn't too bad, I never got in trouble with a mod at least ) 

    Betcha'  can't figure it out.

    This fan has a theory ;)

    That's a pick I don't hear too often. 

    ---

    My prediction is that the Ravens pass on both Barnett and Corey Davis for someone this board generally does not want, perhaps Foster or Robinson. It's last year all over again. 

    I don't think a trade-down happens. Teams aren't going to want to part with their 2nd and/or 3rd round picks in this draft. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, however, because unless Barnett or OJ Howard are available, trading back is my preference. 

    Would not be surprised to see this

    I think the last time the boards were happy with a first round pick from us was 2011. Think most people liked the pick when it was made. Lots of people cooled on Jimmy of course as it took him a couple years to get going. I wasn't on here these days but I remember hearing that most fans liked him

    I don't remember Upshaw being too popular(not a first rounder but first pick so figured I would throw him on here)

    Elam was pretty hated

    Most people liked CJ but didn't like us going  ILB at all(thought Arthur Brown was gonna be the next big thing)

    Perriman was hated by almost everyone

    Think some people liked Stanley but a few people myself included were against getting him, lots of discussion on that reaction thread. We will see how he develops but pretty happy with how he finished the season and fine taking the L on that one.

    He's definitely gonna need to move imo. If a DC can focus the game plan around him every week then it could be a highly effective front, he creates mismatches and penetration all over the place, but one thing I just don't expect him to do is edge rush effectively, he lacks the bend and flexibility. He's explosive, great closing speed, he shoves and rips and knifes gaps extremely well, but I simply don't see a skillset that would allow him to play the edge on passing down consistently 

    I guess it depends on if this person considers Michael Bennett an edge guy. I think Thomas can be an okay edge guy rushing the passer but I would much rather him inside because

    A: I think he is better there

    B: I value inside pressure more than edge pressure

    Also McPhee doesn't really have good bend but he has been really effective in Chicago as an OLB. He isn't that Von Miller type player sure but he has been really good against the run and I think his pass rush is fairly solid. He doesn't finish sacks because he just doesn't have that bend but he gets his share of pressures at least. Like Thomas though I think McPhee is a lot more effective inside like he was with us in 2014. The Bears just don't have much depth at OLB (Sizzle and Doom in 2014) so they have not had that luxury hence why they drafted Floyd last year who can bend that edge and get them sacks. But Thomas being that SAM guy blowing up TEs in the run game and then shifting inside on passing downs is a very valuable player for just about anyone including us in the event he falls. 

    I guess I haven't really addressed your thoughts on whether he can be an edge guy and I think it really depends. He could adjust to the position and be really physical against the run while getting solid pass rushing numbers or he could be like Quinton Coples was on the Jets and just not fit that scheme. I think the better question though is why you wouldn't move him around as you can get so much more out of him as opposed to just leaving him on the edge. If you just stick him at OLB you are not gonna be able to maximize his potential and even if he can handle the position, you are losing out with him as he can do more. Guess we will see who gets him and how they are going to use him since as with most players, the team that takes him will go a long way to determining how his career ends up.

    I just don't see the skillset though, if he's playing 43de in base and sliding to 3T on passing downs then I could see it, but that's not really an edge guy imo, to me an edge guy is a guy who's gonna be rushing the qb off the edge, like I think Malik McDowell is a DE in a base package but slides inside on passing downs, nobodies calling him an edge player

    I see another Michael Bennett with him, think a team will be really happy to get him and move him along the line

    Also, I tried to elaborate on this one time, but I cant find the right words.  The word 'value' I think is honestly overblown, don't get me wrong, I understand the premise. 

    Lets use Charles Harris for this example

    If the FO thinks Harris can be the next Suggs for us and be a dominant force on this defense.  The draft 'experts' big board has him at 29 best player and we take him at 16.  Our FO is going to get killed because of how early he was drafted, but yet, we don't know what value we put on Harris.  So even though everyone thinks we over-drafted Harris, we took him to give us the same production as Suggs, therefore the 'value' to us would easily be worth it.  Does that make sense?  its been a long day

    Flacco is the perfect example of this

    Oh yeah it is, not saying the opposite, just stating I have a draft crush for Chubb and I don't think I've ever had one ahaha

    Gonna have to wait another year before you get too excited for him, he is staying at school
