SdBacker80 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 At 18M or so I think we have 16 games covered with Clayborn and Vernon. Good rotational piece. I've wanted these types of vet signings the past couple years because the roster was way too green. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I like it. Brings some beef on the edge to our base looks, he has the ability to play across the entire front in sub packages, also allows us to put Vernon on a pitch count when (if) he's restructured. If not, allows us to sink a pick in a young pass rusher and give him a real shot at pacing development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 While I see Adrian in our Edge rotation, I can also see him inside platooning with Billings in obvious pass sits... Garrett and Clayborn lined up as DTs would have some IOL soiling themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did he fake the center and then split the C-G slot? If we had another edge guy it would be great to see him there much more often.

Browns can concentrate on OL /LB/DBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Ratley? Thought he showed some signs last season. 56 minutes ago, The Gipper said: I think this covers us along the DL such that we won't need to grab one in the draft. Browns can concentrate on OL /LB/DBs. We have numbers for the DL... but not depth... especially young, talented depth. Are there areas of greater need? Yes, but this LB class is not deep. And OL and 2ndary are at least as set as DL... so to my mind it's still a BPA draft with need as a tie-breaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need a 3rd/4th man to get after the QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need a 3rd/4th man to get after the QB I just selected him in our mock draft. He’s a Charlotte guy (same w/Ogunjobi). Saw some tape looks like a good NFL pass rusher right now- definite 3rd down guy and a Perfect guy to sit behind A couple vets for a few years and rotate in 8-10 plays a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once recruited by Bama & Michigan, ND played him at every tech on the DL. His stat-line improved all 3 seasons ..lots of utube film out there on Kareem along with a Andrew Thomas stalemate in 2019...

Tour2ma Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Here' the deal with Kareem... well... I was starting a post about how he and his R2 grade will be competing with positions of greater need, but then I realized if there's a pure BPA pick on our board it's our #41. Looked at sim results I've saved from 4 different sites... and there's a bunch... and as I learned more about this draft class the pick that evolved the most was Pick 41. It has become my net for R1 talent that was squeezed out and to us. It's where I've taken a CB, a WR knowing those two, R# picks are coming soon So it's a different competition for Kareem and other R2 talent at 41... BPA. Of course there is always a trade down possibility... far enough where the the 1st-round spillover that's of low interest to us is taken... and adding a 4th and 5th or better in the process.

We have gone through 128 picks so far, and he has not been taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
