Normally I love my OL guys and discussing them as part of the Draft process is fun and exciting for me. This year I was hoping that we could generally skip over the OL position since we seemed to have a very successful year with our current group (after…
I will put this out there here because it’s relevant to the position, but watch for my Bold Prediction post on this same topic: James O’Hagan from the University of Buffalo is going to be one of the best Centers of this draft class. He has slightly better size…
Man there are some talented cats in this year’s class. All the guys below are super multiple in their ability to play more than one position. Nearly all are starters at rookie and have upside to improve and get stronger. Really an exciting class. I only have Cody Ford…
I am not creating evals for any of the Guards in this Draft. At this point our needs on the OL are OC and RT first, but OG and LT are a close second for depth. So I would rather spend time looking at players in these positions. I…
For this Draft there are no specific LT role players that I am evaluating. Go to my review of Dynamic exterior OL and you will find the guys that I believe the Browns should consider. This includes players who can work both sides of the line and offer appropriate…
UPDATE: POST-FREE AGENCY After adding Jaelen Strong to the roster in late February we thought that was a nice add and a player that can possibly help us. But he is not a burner nor is he an All-Pro caliber receiver. He is more reclamation project than a 4…
Imagine if we drafted AJ Brown or DK Metcalf, Jordan Ta’amu AND Dawson Knox! That’s basically the entire Offense from Ole Miss! LOL…these are the sorts of weird situations that I mull over when reviewing 300 players and narrowing it down to the guys I like for the Browns….
GOOD: Raymond is probably more multiple than I am giving him credit for here, classifying him as just a Move TE. His blocking is pretty good. He has fairly impressive hands and ball skills. Catches the ball out of the air like it should be done, confident in his…
If you read my TE Summary post, you will know that I have left off a few good candidates for the Browns simply because I ran out of time to do Evals on every single one. This is a need but not a high priority need. I did not…
There is some no-doubt talent in this group. These guys are all very multiple, they have the speed and quickness to play Z but do most of their dirty work out of the Slot. Good results come either way. As these are the players that earn their money in…
This group has an odd look to it but for good reason. There are tiny speedsters and big giant trees in this set. But they all can work out of the Slot and play primary out of the X just as effectively. These guys should not only offer yardage…
I absolutely LOVE this BIG Slot role. I am sure the players we are seeing in the role was part of the evolution of Spread and RPO concepts in college football offenses. College concepts over the last 10 years have been based on principles like optionality, simplicity, spacing and…
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.
