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.

The Browns get to participate tonight! 

MAC player in the first round alert! 🤪

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!)

I hear ya.  But a part of people died after the Chiefs playoff game.  (amputations)

Games are being played deeper and deeper into the winter.  We're at a 17 game schedule right now.  How long do we think that odd # 17 is going to last?   It's going to be 18 some day.  And they'll probably throw in another bye week.  So we'll be even deeper into the winter.  And the league will be scheduling night games...because it gives good TV ratings from the people sitting warm in their living rooms.  I mean really, we wouldn't make our dogs stay out in that weather for the time frame of a football game.  But it's ok for humans.  

Hence why I wrote that the logical part of me understands why the team could end up in a dome. 

Lets win the Thursday afternoon game and the series so we can fully enjoy the start of the NFL Draft 😁

A  $4.6B  new enclosed stadium  on mean  ol' Lake Michigan ....  sweet.      

Face it in November, December  and  especially January I for one would  lo♥︎e  to be in a nice 68°  seasoned surroundings  versus a  7° with 25 mph winds blowing straight in off the lake for hours on end.

The players would agree with me  100%  guaranteed.   

I absolutely understand that open-air football stadiums in the North are pretty useless for so much of the year but I admit, I watched a video of the renderings of the new Bears domed stadium and part of me died inside thinking of a team like the Bears playing indoors.

And I have a feeling if the Browns build a dome, a big part of me is going to absolutely hate it too, even if the logical part of me understands.

Yeah, it's not touted as a good LB draft.  I know that it's hard to justify a WR with all of the WR's we have...some of them draft choices from recent drafts that should be expected to flourish right about now...but it's a deep receiver draft so I expect we'll come out of the draft with one.  Whichever WR is currently 'on the bubble' most probably won't be missed (Bell?).  -  Having said that, WR will probably be deep in drafts for the foreseeable future.  I mean, colleges no longer run the wishbone.  The college game now mimics the pro's.  And I also like the college football player's new financial situation.  It's keeping more kids in school for their senior year.  Perhaps a percentage of these will come out with some sheepskin.

Cooper and Moore are free agents after this season. 

That would leave us with Jeudy and a whole bunch of young guys who haven't done much as of today. 

Hopefully a Cooper extension happens.

Aside from your points, I'd be surprised if he didn't draft a DB somewhere in this draft.

That is always a solid prediction when Berry is involved.

The Traveling A's on the move again.

I can remember as a kid the Philadelphia Athelitics  beseball cards and then the  Kansas City A's  before travelling to the West Coast and the  Oakland A's.

And soon to be a whole new brand of A's.   The last one ?

It's funny, growing up most of us would never think we would see a professional sports team in Vegas.

In three or four years, we will have a Las Vegas football, hockey and baseball team. 

Still not sure how they are going to shoehorn a domed stadium for the A's in Lost Wages on a 9 acre plot of land. 

Today is the Guardians last game ever vs the Oakland Athletics, per se. 

The A's will play the next three or four years in Sacramento. Not sure if they will still be known as the Oakland A's during those years?

IMO, because we do have Jedrick Wills, we will not be drafting for the LT spot in round 2...and the RT spot seems set with two guys that could start...as well as the RG/RT veteran that we just signed.  Though I do expect a day 3 OT selection.

You think they would pass on a LT because Wills is on the roster? Isn't he on the last season of his rookie contract?

And Conklin should retire. Guy can't stay healthy enough to play into October. 

Jones is the only Tackle on the roster worth building around long-term.

He had some good records in Cleveland when he played. He threw a lot of INTs.  Here's his record each season played & TDs/INTs:

1968: 11-2 & 19 TDs 10 INTs

1969: 10-3-1 & 23 TDs 19 INTs Pro Bowl

1970: 6-6 & 16 TDs 16 INTs

1971: 9-4 & 13 TDs 23 INTs

1972: 0-1 & 0 TDs 3 INTs

It definitely is a different game now.

Kind of funny to go back to the "old days" and look at stats of the good quarterbacks... A top QB pre-1980s might complete 52-55% of their passes and throw slightly more touchdowns than interceptions. 

Now, QBs routinely complete 60%+ of their passes with a 3 to 1 touchdown to interception ratio - or better...
