    We only have one stud that we will probably trade on draft day....need more

    I believe of the 20 o linemen to start in the conference title games last year, more went undrafted than were taken in the first round.

    It was 3-2 by my quick look.

    College production as a lineman is one of the worst projectors into the NFL.

    Right. I'm with you on the important of O-Line just don't want to go overboard.

    Yes. The Browns, in addition to having a trash QB since forever, also never have anyone worth a damn at the skill positions.

    The key to the OL is more having five solid guys who work well as a unit than having a bunch of studs.

    I'm pretty interested in this, can you provide a link of data to research this?
  • Benny The Jet
    Sorry, should have been more clear. Projected us to be underdogs in every game, so I took it as 0-16, my bad.

    To me, if they were a 3 win team last year, and got worse personnel wise...theres no way this team gets back to 3 this year.
  • HitsRus
    Nope....we will have a top 5 pick again next year....and this is a multiyear project. The focus of this year's draft is simply best player available.

    This. The exception is needing a QB and one you think can take a team to a championship being available, you do that. Otherwise, BPA. Need is a shitty talent evaluator.

    I think that Alabama has the best college production for lineman, should be easy to determine how they did in the NFL.

    Hopefully the rumors would be true that Tennessee would trade up to #8 for Stanley or Miami for Elliot.

    Brady returns week 5 vs. Browns. Take the over...whatever it is...by a lot.
  • slingshot4ever
    Bradford demands trade...any interest in him?

    No.

    Lol, no. We already have on shitty QB from the NFC east. I'm all for Bradford being traded tho so the Browns have a chance to beat the Eagles week 1.

    Think you guys are all set at "injury-prone, overrated QB."
  • wkfan
    Saw a mock draft this morning that had Zeke Elliott going to the Browns at #8.

    Poor Zeke......

    Cleveland....where promising careers go to die.....

    $36M for 2 years, umm, who wants that?

    Seriously.

    It's hard enough to pry 36 cents out of Jimmy's hand at this point much less $36 million.

    Nothing like taking a 4-3 defensive end then seeing him fail when he can't handle switching to a 3-4.

    Seen that song and dance too many times in this town.

    No thanks.

    Lot of people seem to think he is scheme versatile.

    [h=4]Bottom Line[/h] Body beautiful college end who has the talent and upside to play with a hand down or standing in the pros. Bosa might not have the pure edge speed to be an elite pass rusher, but his hand usage and ability to generate push as a bull-rusher should make him a very good 4-3 base end or a 3-*4 outside linebacker. Bosa has a few more flaws than some may be willing to admit and his upside might be good rather than great, but his traits and growth potential as a player make him a safe selection. Bosa might be at his best with a defensive coordinator willing to move him around the field.

    Also, should be noted that the base defense is pretty much nickel in today's NFL. It's up to to the DC to be creative and bosa has all the traits to be effective.

    Don't know anyone would want Bradford at those numbers, but you'd think his agent had interest before he demanded a trade. Would be great if it happened for Cleveland, so the eagles suck even more, but I doubt he holds out all season. What a baby, take your absurd amount of guaranteed money and stfu.
