Tour2ma Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Be you over or under whelmed by our pick of Coleman on opening night, today will determine our 2016 "grade". Can we land: ... needed OL help? ... a complementary, power running back? ... a 3-down LB? Check these three boxes and it'll have been a good day. I fully expect Day 2 to start with a trade down from 32. While Sashi has gotten decent value (per "the chart") in his first two trades down, it seems that other teams have gotten better than chart value for their higher picks. Can he keep us in R2's top ten and net us a mid-third? I also expect to see our first trade up. Can we move a 3rd round pick back into the middle third of R2 without costing us an additional R3? Should be the most interesting Day of the draft we'll see... until Day 1 of 2017... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USFBrown Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I think they've made smart moves. We need talent and aren't going to get it all in one year. They've mad smart trades and stock piled picks for not only this year but next. It gives time to evaluate and see next year what we need It's a smart way to build a young team. Load up on picks for now and the future. The draft is still a crap shoot. More picks are better odds. I think you're spot on with addressing our needs. I'd love for us to get a tough and nasty lb. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Buffalo Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I mean who knows. I would like to see if we can move back a few spots because there are some really good players still on the board. I will be pissed to see us take Cook. I don't think we should touch QB until round 3 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wargograw Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I also think analytics are starting to lean more Ghoulie's way with regard to OL so I'm not sure that we take one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Be you over or under whelmed by our pick of Coleman on opening night, today will determine our 2016 "grade". Can we land: ... needed OL help? ... a complementary, power running back? ... a 3-down LB? Check these three boxes and it'll have been a good day. 1. OL: Jason Spriggs Indiana could be a very good candidate at ROT..per CBS sports ranking he is the best OL on the board. #34 overall pick. Or would you prefer an OG like Cody Whitehair? #39 overall prospect? 2. RB: Well, the Heisman Trophy winner is still sitting there. I don't think the Browns go that route....maybe late rd 3. 3. LB: Myle Jack and Ragland still sitting there.....but both, apparently, have major medical issues. If not them, Kentrell Brothers is a guy I had them taking in my Mock draft contest entry. There is also Kamalei "Chick" Correa, and Joshua Perry. Who is your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Chick and Nick... Martin, that is... Oddly, CBS has Martin at the #65 best prospect......fits right in with our #65 pick. Sure, that could be a good choice. Primarily OC....but we can certainly use that. (though RT may be more critical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 (though RT may be more critical) Agree... just a different route to the same end. Martin's my #2 OL in the entire draft...

Opal312 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Noah Spence will be great in the NFL. He's better than Bosa and should be the next pick! But it won't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Do you see a fit for Spence under Ray? Seems more made for Krug's role... precisely. Has to learn to edge better agaist the run but he's def the best no bosa consolation prize. We get a technically better edge rusher but not as strong obviously.

Spurrier Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 As far as O-Linemen go, I think there's a lot of talent in that department this draft. Wait for kids like John Theus, Brandon Shell, and Jerald Hawkins in later rounds. QB - Don't get Connor Cook. He played in a weak defense conference and got rocked one the playoffs hit him. Could not score a TD against Bama and couldn't do much in his conference championship. I hate to say it, but Paxton Lynch was your man. IMO he's the only QB who's gonna perform well in his first year. Invest in a kid that will fit your system but will take time to develop. Hope RG3 stays healthy and your backups can handle what's coming next. I'd say your best bet would be Christian Hackenburg. Kid has power, size, and accuracy, but will take time to get used to the NFL. DERRICK HENRY! Come on! There's a lineman and rb right there. Jonathan Williams is another nice, 5th round pick. Scooby Wright III would be a great steal. Considered the best LB in CFB the past 2 years until he got hurt halfway through the season. Guy is strong and has a lot of stamina too. Fell in the draft because of his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDawgFan13 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Okay Spurrier...I'm confused. I don't think Cook is best for this team anyway, but your argument that he comes from a weak defensive conference is whack...especially when you throw out your best choice at Qb is Hackenburg? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erie Dawg Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hack sucks watched enough of him to pass on him comfortably. Cooke is the next best qb but nothing extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
