Cleveland has not made up its mind at No. 1, per source. Split opinions. Some like Myles Garrett, some like Mitchell Trubisky. We will see.

Umm only the Browns would do this 

smokescreen. Theyre probably trying to see what other teams would be willing to offer them for the pick

They're taking Garrett lol 

they're dangling trubisky in front of the bears seeing if they can move back for a second probably. At which point they probably take Jamal Adams or Malik hooker because their secondary is atrocious.

just a guess though, with the way they've been wheeling and dealing on the boards I highly doubt they're gonna go with the non value pick, and it seems like a classic trade bait scenario which seems to be their forte lately

Plus in all likelihood trubisky makes it to at least number 6 and if the jets pass then he probably gets all the way to the browns other pick (or at least in range of an easy trade up) so why would they bother not taking Garrett when they might get better value later by not taking trubisky number 1

Exactly, him and Charlie are fixed on that being the pick. But Quincy Wilson is on the board in the 2nd and Sidney Jones is one of the guys left on the board after both of our picks in the 3rd.

A lot of carl Lawson picks in the media recently as well - although in different rounds

I'd take Sidney Jones over both of the guys he picked - not a fan of this draft and think there's a lot of reaching after round 2

I'll be surprised if the Browns go in any direction except for Garrett at number 1. For the Browns' fanbase's sake, I hope the new GM is smart enough not to screw this up. He's done good so far.

Selecting cam with Corey Davis still on the board. I think I would have a heart attack.

Good. He's a special talent and it's up to the ravens to do everything in their power to gauge his character and commitment

Honestly I don't think Davis is viewed as highly by teams as he is by fans and media.

With that kind of production I'd be surprised if he wasnt our top reciever on our board.

Walt and Charlie have been projecting us to take Cam for like a solid month now (though they're far from the only ones to slot us a RT). I want the draft to happen already just so I can stop seeing these RT draft predictions for us lol. It seems like the lazy thinking is "omg, the Ravens lost Wagner, now they need a RT!" when Alex Lewis does not have the leverage or power to be a good guard, but he does have the physical attributes and experience to be a good tackle. Seems to me Lewis has always been the future Wagner replacement; he just happened to be the best LG on the roster last year too. 

I would only want Cam Robinson if they're sure he can be a pro-bowler at LG; otherwise, picking an offensive lineman that high isn't worth it imo. If you're drafting Cam Robinson to play RT, then what you're actually doing is filling a hole at LG with an average player with the 16th overall pick.

In all honesty i think taking Cam would be the smartest move you can make. I agree with colin cowherd that recievers are a unnecessary luxury. Kinda like a sports car. Looking at the falcons, julio jones wasnt the driving force for that team. It was their 2 running backs and matt ryan as well as the scheme. The cowboys have a great oline. The steelers became one dimensional in the playoffs and couldnt do anything once the pats locked down Brown. I think it'd be smart for us to solidify our oline so we can protect Joe and have a potent running game

To an extent.  I'm a build the trenches guy myself but you still need some quality targets for your QB.  2 TE sets are nice but I hope we aren't relying on them all the time.

I agree that having a good OL and run game are important things, and I agree that we should address our OL holes. However, I think it's a poor decision to address this issue with the 16th overall pick by drafting a RT, since then you're basically drafting a second RT and forcing one of them to play out of position at LG, essentially addressing the hole at LG by filling it with a RT who will most likely perform about average at the position--not good value for a first-round pick. Instead, they should try to find a true LG and/or C in the mid-rounds where you'll find better value and a better fit for the position. 

Now, if you want to make the argument that we could/should draft Lamp at #16 because we need a LG and C (two positions he is projected to be able to play), then I'd be a little more open.

Throughout the process I have projected cam at guard - I really think he could become a dominant guard certainly in pass protection and if he finishes his blocks then maybe in run blocking too

if we take cam I can see him playing right tackle but I really think he's got the tools to be dominant on the interior - I'd be happy with that pick as long as he plays guard and we shift Alex Lewis to a different spot

Im not saying i dont want a reciever, but i feel like the value of juju or zay jones in the second or others in the 3rd is better than mike williams or davis in the first

Honestly not upset about this draft, at least not as much as some. In my opinion, if Robinson is playing LG then the value is great, I think he's immediately a pro bowl caliber guard at the next level, OT is another story. Lawson is great value in the second, if it weren't for injury concerns he'd be a lock first rounder. Not much a fan of Tomlinson, so I'd rather we take Sidney Jones or another CB there. I like Brown, big target that has a lot of potential, and I love that he's a willing and aggressive blocker on the outside. Not a huge fan of McNichols, but I guess we can chalk that one up to personal preference, I don't dislike taking a RB at that spot. Five is way late for a CB, I'd be willing to bet a lot that we're taking one earlier.

So aside from waiting so long to take a CB I don't think it's a bad draft. Just replace Tomlinson with a CB and the class would be just fine in my opinion.

McShay released a three round mock:

1: Mike Williams

2: Chidobe Awuzie

3 (1): Ryan Anderson

3 (2): Will Holden

I think it's a reach on Holden, and I'd rather try for a center there depending on who was still available. The first three choices would be great.
