HurricanE Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Wow, we go with another sub 6 foot CB. I thought AJ Green dominating Joe Haden because he is so much taller was enough to realize you need size in the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgeho Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Do not know much about him, but after looking him up he is what we need as a #2. 5'10" 190 is a decent size db. His combine numbers were not top tier, but his tape shows a guy who is a gamer, good pick in the 3rd. Its also nice to see the so called experts say this is a great pick!

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I recall AJ Green outrunning Haden when he was out of shape but don't know what your talking about. Haden is guarding the opposing #1 no matter how tall.. 5'10" is appropriate. Good 4.5 40 time with cover skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgeho Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Our db was not a bad pick, Tyrann, has a lot of growing up to do. he may be good, but he was not a must get for us. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/leon-mcfadden?id=2539300 http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/2013/02/leon-mcfadden-scouting-report.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Honey Badger blows. Our small corners will be fine with our 14 pass rushers creating havoc. Minnifield was small and from a basketball school too. Lombardi is showing balls taking guys he likes regardless of where they are slotted.

Browns57 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 It is amazing that no matter who we pick people bitch! All I read for months was we need a CB we need a CB. Well we got one! And the analysts say it is a good pick just like many said Mingo was a good pick! So far so good from my perspective. It must be tough for some of you living your lives while being so damn negative all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bermeck08 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Lets hope that pass rush is raising cane...speed over size....well, might be issue near goal line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Solid 3rd rounder. Drafting Mathieu would have been a bad fit for us given how small Skrine is. Adding another 5'8 guy would not be good. McFadden is average size for a corner and has good enough skills to be a solid #2 corner. He will start day 1 across Haden. Exactly what we needed. Hopefully, a decent FS or G are available early tomorrow for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austinz1212 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 No, Mathieu would have been a shitty pick here. We have no one to keep him in line. Zona does agreed....if it was a later round in the draft maybe 6 or 7 then the risk vs. reward might be worth it......Still not sure about Mathieu's cover speed and height though, also non-existent twice against Bama in the biggest games...

Sheepdog Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Size doesn't matter if you don't know how to get into position and use it. From his highlight reel is seems that McFadden gets himself into a good position on a consistent basis. I love the pickup and hopefully if he works hard he can start opposite Haden.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Judging by this pick, our corners are going to be asked to be on an island all day. There were many better overall corners on the board, but McFadden is highly ranked as a man cover corner. Don't like this pick either, but I like it more than Mingo.

jasont44094 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Badger is 5'9" an inch shorter than McFadden. NFL graded McFadden 80.7 .3 off of being 7th highest graded cb in draft. Badger graded 73, McFadden is compared to Brent Grimes who we looked at in FA was a pro bowler before injury. McFadden is described as a man to man corner.

miktoxic Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 i love that we got a cornerback. so who's bitching you dumb fucks? (i was getting worried if they were going to be any decent ones left by the time we got our 2nd pick). if would have been watching the espn coverage they showed the brown's pick of mcfadden and his highlight reel. 2 mins later they're showing the highlights of mathieu. there was no comparison. it was laughable how much better mathieu looked on that reel. besides he played in the best division in college football against NFL top tier talent. again i'm glad we got the cornerback (and whoever thinks i'm whining can go fuck themselves) but why do other teams always take a chance on a guy except the browns? who cares if petersen is there to look after him? i would have had any behavioral issues affecting the team in a negative way written into his contract and could be a reason for financial repercussions etc. this is just my opinion. i'm not saying mcfadden sucks. you know what i'm saying. hell as long as he makes this team better in a position which we desperately needed help at hey, i'm a fan.
