One of my favorite EDGE players this year is LJ Collier from TCU (pictured above) You won’t find him on this list of EDGE guys we should be looking at because after reading a lot about Collier, the consensus is he will move inside to DT as his primary…
This list is highlighted by only one guy, Montez Sweat, who has a very good shot at being a Pro Bowler as a rookie. He’s pretty special. But we are not going to review him as that is a luxury we can’t afford with no 1st Round pick and…
This is what you get when you’ve already used your 1st Round pick! A list of the high quality and in some cases downright special players at the EDGE position who have dynamic skill sets and the Browns have zero f*cking chance to land any one of the high…
One of the most critical issues we face as a Defense is improving the line position talent as well as our Linebackers. As a 4-3 base defense that shifts in and out of base to other looks and sub packages, we need a few things to be true about…
Our DT group has been improved with the addition of Sheldon Richardson to play 3-Tech as it will help Ogunjobi avoid double teams every play. As we have already talked about our depth is a mess still and needs to be addressed. This group of 1-Tech guys has one…
Up until we acquired Sheldon Richardson we didn’t have a legitimate 3-Tech on the roster. That was pretty scary and our stats last year reflect the fact that we were not getting much interior pressure. We were playing guys way out of position in order to try to get…
Just like the Offensive line, I love to review and talk about the trench players. They don’t always get the credit they deserve, especially if they aren’t making splash plays, but maybe just taking on double teams every snap! As I talked about in my DT Summary post, we…
You should probably jump over to my CB Summary before reading this. In that summary, I walk through many of the reasons we need to be focusing very heavily on CB, FS/SS and LB in this draft. It’s not just that our AFC North division is usually stacked with…
Several of the guys above have rocketed up the rankings and my suggested Round values in my Top 200 list are now fairly out of whack. Abram is likely a 1st round pick now, or at the very least Top 5 within 2nd Round. Hooker is likely to fall…
Of all the secondary players we should be looking at, Deionte Thompson is an interesting cat but perhaps not really a guy to take seriously for the Browns this year. Most of the fall during CFB regular season, he was considered the top Safety in the upcoming class and…
The guys below are the best of this year’s crop and almost all will be able to contribute in Year 1, if not start. They bring those multiple skill sets that we want in every one of our Possession Players. Deep into Round 4 and possibly Round 5 there…
With the proliferation of Spread-concept offenses, LB’s these days need to be able to think on their feet and diagnose/react/move so quickly. They need to have plus athleticism, especially lateral movement skills. Range is highly valued and can mean the difference in the run game as these offenses spread…
We love all things Cleveland Browns, but more than anything we love the NFL Draft. You came to the right place if you want to get down into the weeds on our Roster strength, Player Evals, Draft Strategy and more...Thanks for your support.
