I agree though. If Green is gone they'll absolutely go wr..

And then he destroyed the whole Senior bowl and was instantly anointed a day 1 starter.

It's crazy how quickly expectations change based on off season workouts and all star games.

But yea, I mean I'm so excited to see the CBs develop and what we do at RT. I'd love any of those players, but Jones is the golden goose, imo.

Like I said, if be happy with a lb or dl at that spot, but I wouldn't hate a wr either. As someone mentioned, it's a good wr class, we can likely get a quality wr all the way to the third.

Maybe when he's completely spent we'll get him like we did Dansby... I almost forget that he ever played here. He killed it for the Browns while we square pegged a round hole with Harrison... Who also had a resurgence when he left here.

Then you look back and watch his season and it was the best ever by a QB.

Runyan blocked Young very well in the rivalry game. Starting to lean Runyan at 33.

Remember Anarumo uses a hybrid defensive scheme and he really covets a guy who can line up at either edge or LB to show different fronts and Zachs natural talent at Wisconson made him that type of defender. I think Zach is the defender Lou is missing other than just talent.

1.) If there is a player you absolutely love and have targeted, that may have fallen, trade up a few spots and snag them.

2.) Look for a team that covets Jordan Love or Jake Fromm and get a nice return on moving down a few spots.

Personally, I would lean heavily towards #2. My ideal scenario, although unlikely, would be...

-Trade AJ. Or, less ideal, let him walk.
-Use cap savings on stud OT or LB
-Trade down from 33 and charge an arm and a leg so someone can draft their QB there.
-Draft Tee Higgins or Justin Jefferson or another WR from this deep class with 2nd

Result = Multiple extra picks from trade(s), cap savings from no AJ, and a WR corp of Boyd, Higgins/Jefferson, Tate, Ross...

I like Baun from what I saw last season, like those backers honestly and Queen.

I expect us to do this anyways.

Thuney and Trevathan are the guys I want but it is high expectations considering our history.

I think we will be a little more active than usual in FA this year considering last season, us having the first overall pick, needing
a QB and Burrow having such an unprecedented season right when we need this exact type of QB.



Yeah, Jones shown he can play great against top competition during the Senior Bowl. This is what I like to see in a player
we draft. I think if we started off the Draft with Burrow and Jones that would be the most ideal scenario IMO.



Could get a damn good WR in the 4th this year. That is how good of a class it is.

We need better Guards period. Thuney, Scherff, Glasgow I don't care. One of these guys would help the team immensely.



To be fair that was when Marv was here, we will see. We finally made a good LB pick last Draft with Pratt.

Maybe with a new staff we will have better luck with the Linebackers.

The FO cannot just ignore FA this Offseason with the blatant weaknesses at Guard and at LB.

All taken with the 32nd pick.

Since 2000 the 33rd pick has only been traded 4 times and never for a QB.
One was the previous year before they knew it was the 33rd, one was trading up into the first leaving just two teams trading up for the 33rd.


2017 Browns moved up from 33rd to 29th for Ndjoku
2015 Giants traded up from 40 to 33 for Landon Collins (cost them 108th and 245th)
2010 the Patriots received a 2011 2nd round pick from Carolina that turned out to be the 33rd
2007 Cardinals moved up from 38 to 33rd for Alan Branch (the Raiders received the 105th)

So there's no telling who falls at this point. But they are all talented.
