Would that not be Terrance Mitchell from KC battling BBC at slot corner? Am picturing EJ Gaines getting 1WR"s (ranked as 14th CB by PFF) Taylor/Carrie/Wilson battling for covering #2WR's..I see Dorsey found his talent-less position group.Heck, he may even draft another DB..Now maybe we can play some press nickel coverage that G. Williams played at Rams? https://www.dawgsbynature.com/2018/3/29/17177614/espn-power-rankings-the-browns-arent-in-last-place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe... what I've read is that OAK kept moving EJ back and forth from slot to outside... and were never really happy with him at either, but that slot was where he played the most. Quote Sep 11, 2017 - With rookie cornerback Gareon Conley inactive for the game, the Raiders opted to put TJ Carrie on the outside and start Sean Smith in the slot. But, after Carrie's early struggles, the coaching staff flipped it and put him in the slot. Jan 23, 2018 - The Oakland Raiders had a cornerback crisis this season with injuries and disappointing play, and T.J. Carrie's struggles in the slot contributed.

Zombo Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well, I for one, am excited to add Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward to this depth chart. Mayfield, was my rising second choice at his position ... but I've forgotten about those other guys already, all in on Baker. Ward fills a huge need. I wouldn't have passed on Chubb, but I don't get paid to make those decisions, and our defense looks stronger already with that pick. Needed a big-time corner. Again, just a pre-2nd Round skeleton to see where our needs are, I didn't include minor players, most of whom won't make the team. The guys looking to see major playing time ... if the season started tomorrrow ... are in bold, And I'm not assigning jobs like slot receiver, nickel back, specialty pass rusher etc. yet. QB: Taylor, Mayfield, Stanton FB Vitale RB Hyde, Duke, Dayes WR1 Gordon, Ricardo WR2 Landry, Coleman, Higgins TE1 Njoku, Devalve TE2 Fells, Tefler LT Coleman, Rod Johnson LG Bitonio, Drango C Tretter, Reiter RG Zeitler RT Hubbard, Stephenson DE Garrett, C. Smith, Orchard DT Coley, Brantley DT Ogunjobi, Meder DE Ogbah, Nassib SLB Collins, Burgess MLB Schobert, Carder WLB Kirksey, Alexander CB Ward, Gaines, Jordan, Wilson CB Carrie, Taylor, Boddy-Calhoun, Mitchell SS Peppers, Kindred FS Randall, Currie K Gonzalez P Colquitt LS Hughlett KR Dayes PR Peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 So, our Day 2 Needs: QB: No FB: bring in a UDFA RB: YES Need a speed guy, Duke is a pending free agent WR YES Even if Coleman prospers in Year three, there is not much after that and may need to replace Gordon at some point. TE Nah, I think we are OK here, but I may like Devalve a second pass catching option better than most. OT YES We don't know if Coleman is the answer at LT so the more competition the better OG-C Nah, but maybe pick up some interior depth on Day three DT Yes, I like our guys, but bring in another Big Body DE Yes, depth looks weak after starters LB Yes, depth needed CB No, lots of bodies already that are better than mid-round picks S No, if we are all in on Randall and Peppers this could be a day 3 special teams need. My Summary of our reamaining needs: 1. OT 2 & 3. RB & WR 4 & 5 DT & DE 6. LB 7&8 IL & S So if we are drafting needs, our three picks in the second round would be: OT ... Offensive Playmaker ... DL Go get 'em ... Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Based on your depth chart Z, I would put the Browns biggest needs now in this order: OLB. We have 2 MLBs playing out of position....and not much behind them OT.....yes, we don't know if Coleman/Johnson are the answer to replace JT RB...to further enhance Dorsey's RB by committee system WR...We might have some talent here....Gordon/Landry/Coleman etc. But then....Gordon always on thin ice. Coleman brittle and questionable. Higgins/Louis...still meh DT....can't hurt to have more depth after they shipped out Shelton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Not sure what the ultimate plan is with Corbett, but I will put him in the mix at LT and adjust later. I'm going to keep Hyde as the starter at RB for now, we'll see how that develops, and will stick the DE Thomas right into the rotation. I think now more than ever we can label Duke Johnson 3rd Down Back/receiving back Again, just a pre-3rd Round skeleton to see where our needs are, I didn't include minor players, most of whom won't make the team.

Zombo Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 So, my Needs Update ... and the Browns have been picking needs all along so far: 1. WR Depth 2. DT Depth 3. LB Depth 4 Safety/special teams. We have five picks left, I'd say adressing WR, DT and LB is pretty certain, then I'll say Safety and maybe a fullback. Maybe two linebackers.

PoeticG Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm hoping for Simmie Cobbs Jr. or EQ St. Brown for WR Dimitri Flowers for FB Kentavious Street for DT Daniel Carlson to compete with Gonzo. Hill the CB/S still available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think, for now Corbett may be slated in as the backup OG at both RG and LG....and Harrison the backup at OT.

As for Rod Johnson, if he gets squeezed out in a numbers game there is always an opening in the porn industry. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Agree... see Reiter pushed out. Especially if we see a developmental LT we want to keep. Meder still feels gone to me with Thomas inside. Odd to see last season's, "destined to start" MLB, Carder, sitting at third in the depth chart. Something gives there and that could be that Avery moves outside. Still can't get over how thin we look at FS after all the attention our play there last season drew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree at DT, love Meder's motor but this prospect sounds pretty good. I heard Dorsey say that Avery should get looks inside and out, and Hue called him a special teams gem ... His versatility actually could mean the end for Alexander and Tank could hang on because of his special teams prowess as well. Schobert's Pro Bowl season ended any starting dreams for the Tank. My opinion on Safety is that we've got two starters that will be in there for almost all snaps, and Kindred is a solid backup with starting experience so they may keep an extra body at corner, I'm sure some of those guys can be cross trained at safety.
