Late By and large I did not think RBs were over-drafted this year... at least most were not significantly so. One may be Taylor to Indy in early 2nd, but that's only if his fumble issues continue and if his hands don't get softer. Rivers is used to having good set of receiving RBs in LAC. That's two sizeable "ifs" for a Round 2 guy. Biggest overreach to my eye looks to be Dillon to GB late in the 2nd. Guy was nowhere near that highly graded on most of the reference sites at which I looked , e.g., DraftScout had him as a 4th. However, an even bigger issue looks to be scheme fit. I was on Dillon early for us, but then read a couple accounts about his lack of fit for WZS offenses... that he was not a decisive, read and one-cut RB, but rather a guy who needed a hole to be where it was supposed to be, i.e. a man/gap/power game RB. And LeFleur is definitely a WZS disciple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Apparently we like AJ Green a lot! At least enough to outbid someone else... Quote Browns give undrafted CB A.J. Green a whopping bonus to sign The Cleveland Browns signed A.J. Green to a record-setting deal. No, not that A.J. Green… This A.J. Green is a cornerback from Oklahoma State who went undrafted in the 2020 draft. Green signed with the Browns after the draft for an unprecedented amount of guaranteed money in his UDFA contract. Per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Browns gave Green a $145,000 guarantee. That’s the highest figure ever reported for an undrafted player fresh after the draft. The figures are unofficial until the deal is actually signed. https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2020/04/26/browns-give-undrafted-cb-a-j-green-a-whopping-bonus-to-sign/ Hope we signed our other UDFAs first...

Ibleedbrown Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I pulled Nate Wieting’s name out of a hat and did a little poking around the web. He’s our UDFA TE from Iowa. I found a cut up of a game he played against USC. Posted below. I’m not sure why this is the one game someone picked to highlight him. I wonder if a jaded ex girlfriend made it or something. His pass blocking doesn’t look good. Run blocking maybe slightly better. I counted he was 1 for 2 on catches. I’m simply not sure what exactly he does well. Edit: at least he recovered the fumble he caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 145k may have been higher than UDFA before this year; however, it was only the 3rd highest given to a UDFA this season. Top 5 this season, each of which is likely a record over prior seasons Jacksonville Jaguars: cornerback Lui Barcoo - $180K New England Patriots: linebacker Skuta Harris - $150K Dallas Cowboys: cornerback Ron'Dell Carter - $145K Cleveland Browns: cornerback A.J.

I know that Tour was high on him....for what that's worth. I think Tia liked him as well. If he is what those guys think he is, he could be a bona fide keeper.

Tour2ma Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Wouldn't say I was "high on him"... I generally don't like OTs over 6'5. I never laid eyes on the kid. What I did say was that I was "intrigued" by accounts I'd read of Taylor. Intrigued enough to take a 7th-round flyer on him so I'm delighted to see him coming to camp on a UDFA contract.

Tour2ma Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Did a little video watching on our new QB, Princeton's Kevin Davidson (#10), this AM vs. Brown, Harvard, Dartmouth. No full game tape yet, but plenty of game highlight tapes. Not seeing the "strong arm"... lot of touch passes, but accuracy seems decent even when under pressure. So far only one bonehead throw. Here's the Brown game. Others appear in the queue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
