Even better, the Bills wanted to trade with the Browns where they likely could've still gotten Ward and added a few extra picks.

At least they listened to their fanbase and took the picks they had.

Banging that drum.... anyway, if you had told me take an undersized QB and an undersized DB or trade back, I’d trade back... prior to tonight the thought of taking the top QB and Chubb was what we needed and I wouldn’t have messed with it... still can’t believe they reached both freaking times. Who do we need to have at GM to not fuck this up?

Only thing I can figure is they are trying to get ahead on the philosophical shift they feel is going to happen with more read option, cfb styled offenses so draft a super quick DB and a QB that can actually run that offense... any other line of thinking is plain wtf?!

Landry, Williams and Guice... the next two picks should be two of those three...

Talk about random. Has there ever been:

  • Two ND OL selected in the first ten picks?
  • Two brothers selected in the first round?
  • Heisman winners selected at the bookends?

Shazier walking out to do the Pittsburgh selection was awesome.

I really thought this would have been the year that Cleveland would do something right, but they proved me wrong. Baker Mayfield is such a Cleveland pick. You use the 4th overall pick on a slot corner? Lmao. They could've handled that so much better.


As for Pittsburgh taking Terrell Edmunds, I didn't have an opinion on the pick last night and I wanted to sleep on it. I wasn't expecting to hear Edmuns' name get called, I was expecting to hear Reid, Landry, Guice, or even Bryan. After thinking about it, watching tape, and reading articles, I warmed up to the pick and like it quite a bit. He's a very athletic and physical safety; he ran a 4.47 40 yard dash and had a 41.5 inch vertical. He checked off all the boxes they want in their round pick: underclassman, strong family ties, high character kid, etc.. He'll definitely play right away and fills one of the biggest team needs.

I was banging that drum and it was unfair to you. Of course you would've taken that deal, it's more sensible than reaching for two prospects. They did reach for both picks, I'm really stunned by how poor it appears they did.

Maybe they were the smartest men in the room and we'll all be revisiting these messages next year.

Landry, Williams and Guice... the next two picks should be two of those three...

I was really hoping Guice would fall to the Colts but he'd be a great pickup by the Browns. As it stands, the Colts could further bolster their OL and take one of James Daniels/Will Hernandez.

How badly do the Browns need CBs? Josh Jackson is still sitting there.

I was shocked by the CB pick. dude is built like a 15 year old HS freshman. I can't imagine his being able to stand up to the physicality over the long term.

Two big priorities for the Colts now are DE and LB. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Ballard took another OL. He has said before he takes best available as opposed to drafting for need. Newhort (G) has missed a lot of games the last two years and Kelly (C) was out for a bunch of games last year. Newhort has to know he's getting moved to RG now that Q was picked.

Don’t know what you are smoking as far as Ward goes. Slot corner? You must be high. He is hands down by all accounts the best corner in the draft and head and shoulders the best press/cover corner in the draft. The kid has been slotted to go top 10 since the day he announced. Before the draft I would have loved the 49ers to draft him, but I knew there was no way in hell he would make it to number 9. Slot corner...this is an ignorant comment.

Way too early to claim the Browns blew this draft, but if my favorite team had the number 1 and 4 pick and didn’t come away with two of Darnold, Barkley, or Chubb I’d be pretty upset right now.

I'm a Browns fan and this is where I'm at although I'm happy the 1st pick wasn't Darnold. Of the quarterbacks, I preferred Mayfield coming into yesterday.

Think of who they passed up the past few years at quarterback to wind up with Baker Mayfield.
At 1 no less.
