I also think that Berry likes the WR room.  I am not sure we will do much more in that area.  To bring guys in means we have to cut players already on the team.  I am not sure Berry wants to cut any....Bell might be the cut guy is we draft a WR.

Your point makes sense, with Cooper, Jeudy, Moore and possibly Tillman entrenched in the first four spots.

I haven't really seen anything in Bell that makes me think he's a guarantee to make the roster for a third time.

But one thing to consider regarding if we draft a WR or not is that while the room seems pretty set, Cooper, Jeudy and Moore are all free agents after this season. The WR room looks crowded now, but at this time next year it could be somewhat barren. I'm kind of surprised the Browns haven't extended Cooper, at the same time lessening his salary cap number.

Keep telling yourself that, you old ginger queen. 

Browns sign safety Rodney McLeod to another one year deal.

Ha, as long as the team is winning it's fine by me. Everyone saw the maturation of lamar under a good coordinator. They lost of course but he became a supremely stout qb across the board with insane wheels. I don't know how much russ is gonna be running but I love that part of fields. We shall see. I'm just glad to be rid of Matt fucking Canada lol. 

I definitely get the impression that you are not a member of the Matt Canada Fanclub. 🤣

I don't think either Wilson or Fields is your long-term answer, but you definitely should be in a better position with your QBs over what you've been trotting out there the last two years.

It's not a Jihad against Mayfield. Some of us just don't think he is a top 10 take you to the Superbowl kind of QB and get tired of cal blowing nothing but smoke about him on a Browns Board while using his moral standards to discuss the guy (now guys) who are Browns QBs. Wouldn't bother me if he applied the same standards of conduct over on the poliboard as he now does to them.

The "you guys hate cal because of Baker" narrative is complete nonsense.

Cal is a bitch. He's always been a bitch. Stan couldn't stand him because he was always crying to him about so-and-so poster hurting his tender feelings. He's a bitch on nearly every topic he wastes everyone's time with typing his drivel. His moronic, juvenile posts that just wreak of someone with a massive inferiority complex goes far beyond Baker Mayfield posts, and easily pre-dates his arrival. But management is always here to come running to his aid, because apparently membership on that other forum has privileges. 

That's the truth... hope it doesn't disappoint anyone.

He's the starter and was told he's the starter. I think russ is just happy to be starting somewhere and understands he's not the long term option. Dude is weird but he's always seemed like a good leader, legit loves his teammates. I think he takes fields under his wing, especially if he wants to play in the league whether it's the starter or a good back up assuming fields ascends. 

Are you ok with the Steelers having so many "running quarterbacks" on your roster now? 😉

I wonder what Russell Wilson thinks about this?

It had felt this could happen right after the steelers traded Pickett. Tomlin loves fields and there was always mutual interest there. The Steelers love their buckeyes. Couple people I respect said there was still mutual interest and then this happened. It's wild for me as a steeler fan in the best of ways. Getting him for a 6th is insane and it only becomes a 4th if he plays 51% of the snaps next season. Id have been over the moon for a 4th. Still no guarantees with either qb but this room makes me a lot happier than Pickett, mitch and Mason. 

Goddamn it, now I have to root for an ex-Buckeyes player to suffer a season-ending injury... 😉

Bad enough Cam Heyward has played for the Steelers for like 24 years or something... 

Well THIS is an intriguing development.

I guess my lack of interest in responding to you is pretty much the same reason tia doesn't bother with you... 

You are a moron.  

I'm thankful I wasn't drinking something when I read the above last line by tia, or I would have sprayed my laptop screen methinks...

Kinchens is the #1 rated Safety in my draft magazine.  He has 11 INTs in the last 2 years and 59 tackles in each of those seasons. Stover is a great idea especially since we lost Harrison Bryant.  I like your top run stuffer in the DT - that my be the coolest 1st name.  Every time he stuffs a run - you can say "that's Maa son" in chorus with his dad.

This stuff is fun!

Minnesota's Tyler Nubin is Lindy's #1 rated safety and has a 1st/2nd round grade. Kinchens is their #2, with a second round grade.

And yes, indeed!

Hold up now ! Where does your drafting mag have these 2 rated?  near rating #54 still?

 

TE Cade Stover, Ohio State. 6'4, 251. Possibly the most well-rounded TE in this class.

Ok Bru'tus the Buckeye homer !      Been sitting in my OSU man-cave where the grey carpet has the Buckeye red/white stripe running down the middle of it.. Berry is going to piss both of off because?

TE Cade Stover will be age 24.5 when drafted, meaning Berry won't draft him   (but we share the same thinking on Stover)

damn, i got to cut the grass already !  🙄  Round 1 !  

The magazine (Lindy's) has both Mitchell and Powers-Johnson as second rounders.

But you got me on Stover, they have him as a third rounder. 🤣 But the "possibly the most well-rounded TE in this class" part made me think, you know, maybe he wouldn't be such a reach here in the second. 

WR Adonai Mitchell, Texas. 6'3, 196. Lightening quick off snap, giving the Browns WR unit more needed speed.

TE Cade Stover, Ohio State. 6'4, 251. Possibly the most well-rounded TE in this class.

C/OG Jackson Powers-Johnson, Oregon. 6'3, 320. Bulldozer in run game. Can play center or guard, giving Browns flexibility in two positions they will need an eventual starter.

DT Maason Smith, LSU. 6'6, 315. Top run stopper in DT class, has potential as pass rusher too. 

LB Junior Colson, TCUN. 6'3, 247.  Probably my favorite 2nd round prospect, honestly. Great run defender perfect complement to JOK.

S Kamren Kinchens, Miami. 5'11, 205. Thumper AND ballhawk. 

Nice list of prospects Flugel... I waited until I did mine before really looking at your and gumby's list, didn't want to get influenced. We have different players but exactly the same positions picked 🤣

I ended up with six guys, could have had damn near twice that. 

I'm out of reactions right now, (that Winston thread is the gift that keeps on giving) but good job gumby! 

But with Sweat, do the Browns really need another massive IDL, since they took Ika last draft? 

Alright @Flugel (or anyone else who would like to participate)...

Your assignment is to come up with your five favorite (and realistic) choices for the Browns second round pick. Take your draft guide and get crack-a-lackin' on it. I'll do the same.

3rd Round: Michael Pratt, QB Tulane - 1st - he's white just like Flacco. 

Cal prefers the nomenclature "Non-running QB". 

Thanks in advance.

He was angry about the Wilson signing. He was a baby last season when Rudolph was given the start. People with good sources confirmed it even tho he himself denied it which is why the one game he didn’t dress despite being okay to be 3rd string due to injury recovery. Apparently he was on board with competing for the job but when the team brought in Wilson he changed his tune. Frankly that was enough for me because if he’s not willing to grind for the job I don’t want him anyway. 

You're a Steelers fan, I can understand you having rose-colored glasses for your first round QB.

What's funny is the "Browns" fans on here like Ghoolie and his butt-sniffer extraordinaire Gorka who kept going on and on about how "that Kenny Pickett just seems to have it." 🤣

Lamar and Henry playing together scares the crap out of me. 

I feel like we dodged a bullet multiple times with Lamar and JK Dobbins, but JKD could never stay healthy.

If Henry still has tread on his tires, it could be interesting. 

Aaron Donald announces his retirement. 

His Hall of Fame bust is being made as we speak.

She shoulda held out for $98mil.😁  $950,000 hardly even qualifies.

Apparently sexual assault is a very serious thing to certain people here when it pertains to "running quarterbacks". 

It stops being a problem when it pertains to other "non-running quarterback" type people. 

Fascinating.

I don’t know what the Steelers are going to do. I still think Kenny will challenge for that job and reports have indicated that Russ knows he’s coming in to compete for the job not be handed it. I’m ok with the Russ signing because he’s so cheap and he’s better than Rudolph and Mitch, both who are gone now. Paying him 1.2m is a no brainer. I believe Pickett is good. Canada was that bad. 

Apparently your front office thought otherwise.

You can say I was right about him now, buddy.... 😉

I don't remember the guy, but apparently Devin Bush's dad (also Devin Bush) played for the Browns back in 2001-02.
