    Hey fellas, hope all is well. 

    Is he wrong? Ten years is a bit much but take all that draft capital back and think about how different the Browns roster would be. Watson has definitely set you all back but I won't say it's ten years. I don't think that dude will ever be anywhere close to how he was in Houston. He never acts like he wants it. Goes through the motions.

    Still absorbing it all in w/flight back to NC tonight. Check back in Monday, in short

    Let's all agree, Berry/FO started & left this draft as the dead last team (32nd) in 2024 draft capital. Sure we can all second guess the picks... I had My moments...

    Trade back little for Mike Hall or Junior Colson ?

    LB Payton Wilson at 85? (local favorite goes to Shitz'burgh? 😤)

    Why take a 7th rd. corner,when 4 picks later, FSU TE Jaheim Bell may fill a higher depth need ? 

      Ya see? (take all your 🎂 off)

    Later studs !

     

    eh, I still think it was a solid draft

    happy b day man

    Thinking ahead somewhat here.  It's conceivable that we could be looking at this grouping in a starting formation sometime within the next year or 2:

    Luke Wypler (Ohio State)  Zak Zinter (Michigan)  Dawand Jones (Ohio State)

        Center                             Right Guard                  Right Tackle

    I'm not in any hurry to push either Pro Bowl Guard out of our line-up; but injuries, contracts and other things create opportunities for newcomers.  

    Zinter and Hall will also be facing each other in practice. There's probably going to be situations where Wypler or Jones has to block Hall. 

     

    sure would save some money that way, so yes i agree

    Strong like bull.  Mongo likes bull.   :lol:

    CINCINNATI — Former Cincinnati Bearcats defensive tackle Jowon Briggs is headed to Celveland to start his NFL career. He was the lone Bearcat to get taken, landing at Pick 243

    Briggs posted 27 tackles (6 TFL) and two sacks this past season after being an integral part of the Bearcats success this decade. He keeps the Bearcats draft streak rolling to nine consecutive years with a player drafted.

    how was dinner ?

    Thanks for the goodies LB!   I'm gonna vent a little here - just know it's not aimed at you.  This just feels like a good spot to exercise my 2 brain cells.

    I really like the Zinter selection; but I'm scratching my head about the 2nd round reach for Michael Hall Jr that many sites/publications had going in the 3rd and 4th rounds. I'm an Ohio State fan; but he ended with 2 tackles for losses and 1.5 sacks in his final season. That doesn't really stack up well against the other talent that went in round 2 IMO regardless of how well he did at the combines.  This felt a lot like reaching on DE Alex Wright a couple years ago.  Why???

    Why do I feel this way?  If we wanted to reach on a player - it should have been LEFT TACKLE Kiran Amegadjie or others equivalent LT prospects were available in round 2. Unfortunately, we still have a very sleepy Casper the Friendly Ghost entitled to his starting LT job.  He doesn't have to try or be consistent.  He often stops after his initial hit when he's run blocking. He hasn't even put in the work to have a consistent stance that sets him up for ideal leverage, power and base.  We've seen this for 4 years now. Film ain't gonna show us he's earned SQUAT. This FO drafted him at #10 overall so he's entitled.  Keeping him throws off the scent the FO failed here. Both RTs are coming off season ending injuries.  Our strength last year was OG; and it still was heading into the draft.  100% of our starting tackles (1 LT + 2 RTs).  However, I am very aware we signed a 9 veteran G/T (Germain Ifedi) that didn't appear in 1 game last year.  I think his most recent starts were all at Guard. Soooooo, our next pick today is in round 5.  

     

     

     

    I like the pick in passing situations, Having him next to a double teamed Garrett he could disrupt the hell out of a backfield.
