Final thoughts on the draft

Euphoria · 04-27-2017, 06:52 AM

I look at if we had a chace to get any player in the draft who is it???

Adams?

Going to be the craziest draft I think we have seen in awhile. I mean you have teams needing QB's that could and should trade back out of the top spots. I hope they do because then top D players will drop into our laps.

There's a ton of buzz this morning that the Browns are going to pick Mitchell Trubisky at #1. Can you think of a more Browns move than that?!

Or we could begin the night with a Hooker and end things with a Taco

Hard to argue with.... (who writes the songs in this video?)

Not only do we have 7 picks ,we seem to be well positioned in the draft to be offered opportunities to trade back and acquire more picks.
I could see some team wanting to move up @#11 and #32 .
Depending on how the draft falls we have the ability to move up or down as the draft develops.
It would seem that there is good depth at our positions of need.
Anyone on this board knows that opinion varies greatly on who we should pick
My confidence is high that we will come away from the draft with several players who will upgrade our team.
It's looks as if the draft is going to be very interesting and I can't wait.!
Day one we should have two new staters.
That could easily be the tipping point to improve our defense enough to win three more games.
That gets us into the playoffs.

well put

me!

When asked, Payton said it was the easiest way to get me to stop bugging him for a free jersey with my name on it.

Gosh I hope not. We need to break this habit and if anything trade down! The trade ups are one of the top reasons we've had poor depth (especially on defense) and a barren practice squad over the years.

I agree. It seems prospects 8-22 are very similar this year. Might be able to get some value

Trading down requires another party who wants to trade up. The very reason several of you give for trading down is exactly why I don't see many teams willing to move up.

Why the hell do so many people look at the lose of Cooks as the loss of our entire receiving corp? The people we have are bad assed! Cooks would be a luxury this year. It's the reliable TE we need much more than a Cooks replacement. There's gonna be plenty of capable hands available in the third to fill our needs without wasting a one on this guy.

As far as a Hooker and a Taco? Throw in a six pack of Pharaoh Brown ale and you've got a deal!

I could think of one more Browns move than that... A move to some other city... Again. Other than that, taking Trubisky at #1 would be about right for them.
