Reminds me of the Browns songs that came starting a year later... 

Speaking of BYU...

Drinking coffee and farting around on the laptop with ESPN on... 30 for 30 Bears 1985 show on now.

It never ceases to amaze me that Jim McMahon went to BYU... makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. 🤣

That was a fun team to watch, I turned 10 during the season.

The video conference in the Day 1 Thread  with Zinter and Hall side by side was entertaining to see the respect each new teammate has for the other.  The pleasant surprise of that is Zinter saying he's ready to go for the spring practices.  He's been told the fractures are healed and he's been cleared to practice.  It sure sounded like it's without restrictions.  Zinter also indicated, he was cross trained to play Center at Michigan if their Center couldn't answer the bell.  

Zinter is a GREAT kid now...

Comes from a complete scumbag football program, of course, but he's a Brown now 😉

Hall should ask Zinter if he could get hold of Connor Stalions and see if he can do some scouting for the Browns... 

4-2 winners in 11 innings, Guardians look to win series tomorrow afternoon in some suburb outside of Atlanta.

I have Mexican beer from south of the border. I think it's a true wetback.🍺🏊‍♂️

Just got home from a local brewery and had some German-inspired beers and a pub pretzel that was bigger than my head.

The Texans knew. OSU TE.😁

Stroud at QB and Stover at TE.

I'd take that for the Browns every day of the week. 

I'm jelly.

Yes, they played every snap -- and not because the depth is poop.  Deep dive at tOSU incoming.. for whatever old-head reason, OSU doesn't rotate.  It's dumb for umpteen reasons... but they don't. Not at WR, not at DL, not at LB... you name the position.  Starter WR legs are dead by Michigan because they're out there running go routes late against Akron, that's why S Lathan Ransom got injured last season because he was playing late in a game they already had comfortably won, etc etc.

And if you think OSU DT depth last season was not there... that's a fried take, their DT room as a whole was at worst the equal of UM, and likely/arguably was better.  Same is true in upcoming 2024 season and possibly better in 2024.

Tia, have you heard anything of the so-called "personality red flags" that are guessed to be why Hall fell?

Yeah, that's probably a more accurate take on the situation, I guess what I meant was that the depth of the team wasn't used properly, thus making the DLine an artificially thin squad because yes, rotations have been questionable at Ohio State. I think at the RB position under Alford had been handled poorly... RB like Tre Sermon sitting on the bench so a mediocre Master Teague can get touches comes to mind, or how horribly Dallan Hayden was used, causing him to leave the program. 

There is something unnerving about a German guy yelling things.

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.

Considering the value of the picks, I agree, I actually like the Zinter pick better. Much better value IMO.

I don't hate the Hall pick, just feel like it was a bit early.

Concerned about health for both our day 2 picks. 

When he was on fire early, Mikey Hall was wrecking Notre Dame like Aaron Donald.  But he has missed some games. 

Man, Ohio State's depth at DLine was poop last year. That's right tia, I said poop.

I saw something on a podcast recently where it was mentioned that Sawyer and JTT played every snap of the game vs Notre Dame on the edge.

And my concern is that the last similar sized OSU DT we took has not panned out with anyone (Togiai). Is Hall any better or will he get runover regularly just like Tommy T?

Hall is a far more athletic DTackle. 

Togiai was a super strong fire hydrant of a DTackle whose ceiling tapped out in college football. 

At worst, I think Hall is great depth guy inside. Obviously, you don't draft a guy in Round 2 to be just that, but I'd be surprised if he flamed out as quickly as TT did. 

Browns have one draft pick in the fifth and sixth rounds, and two in the seventh. 

Gird your loins appropriately.

Let's goooo

Once he's back to 100% Zinter can be a staple at guard for years to come. 

 

(I wonder if Corum and Wilson going right before affected that pick at all for us)

I definitely could have seen Wilson with the Browns pick... Not as high on Corum personally. 

Zinter is a solid pick for a team that doesn't need him to start in his rookie season. I never have a problem taking a Big Ten OLineman, especially from Ohio State, TTUN, Wisconsin, Iowa, etc... 

Mike Hall is an interesting pick if you consider the selection of Ika the year before... definitely contrasting styles.

Steelers are up now. Here’s hoping they make a mistake 

Here's to them taking another Devin Bush...

Oh... wait... 🤣

Falcons pick may be the worst I have ever seen. Injury prone 24 year old who won’t play because they’ve just paid Cousins a fortune. 

Mind boggling 

I was shocked how unimpressed I was with Penix during the National Championship Game. 

I don't get this pick at all. 

Williams... Daniels... Mayes go 1,2,3. 

Cardinals have two great WRs sitting there for them. 

And the Arizona Cardinals select:

WR Marvin Harrison Jr, THE Ohio State University 

Now it gets interesting... Caleb Williams to the surprise of no one to the Bears...

Washington taking Daniels? 

Fully expect for the booger-eating Michigan Man to trade Justin Herbert tonight so he can take JJ McCarthy for his LA Chargers.

Third Helmet possibility?  

For the love of everything holy, I hope not. 

Just saw on ESPN that Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson both are requesting trades from the Bengals. 

Happy Draft Day! (Well, not for us per se, but still!)
