Thaak Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 BPA. Otherwise I'd prioritize OLB, DL, ILB, TE, ROG in that order Our D-Line was supposed to be our strength, and its ended up being our weakness and our Outside Linebackers seem to have no concept of edge containment.

mdmusch Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 1/2 Round Prospects Mario Edwards, DE/DT from FSU Stefon Diggs, WR from Maryland Jaelen Strong, WR from ASU Shawn Oakman, DE from Baylor Arik Armstead, DT/DE from Oregon I'd love to have Melvin Gordon, RB from Wisconsin, but that's not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Pass on Diggs. Playmaker, but already one lost season under his belt with major injury. Plus he's very tiny. Rub will be gone in the off season, so Kitchen will most likely be getting more snaps at nose along with Hughes. I guess that makes our priority a 3itech.

TexasAg1969 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lines win FB. Another O lineman for a run oriented O because we all now know major injury can happen in an otherwise thin priority area for this kind of O. But it's still too early to make those kinds of decisions since it appears the D is starting to really jell at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian DawgPound Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 We need an unproven QB to have a three-way-controversie next year and write hundreds of "put in XYZ" posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andruw u? Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Best D or O lineman available with both 1st rounders, then best TE (pending what we do w/ Cameron) or WR. Then the next Eric Metcalf (RB depth/change of pace/swing pass/screen pass RB with our 3 225-pound RBs and punt returner) and more pass rushing.

The Italian DawgPound Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Seriously speaking: I'm not sure how we are with the salary cap, but I'd address the most urgent needs with free agency and then go with the BPA strategy all draft long. And trade down in the higher rounds, if we have no particular player we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmusch Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Cap is projected to exceed 140 million As of right now the Browns will have 105.3 Million on the books at the start of the offseason. Honestly unless Desmond Bryant picks his game up (currently rated in the bottom 3rd of 3-4 DE) I can see his cap friendly deal being cut (freeing up $4 million) Ben Tate could free up $2.95 million if he doesn't outperform West and Crowell The draft could be a big spot to replace some cap casualties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither he nor Rubin have really outshone the other guys like Winn, A. Bryant, Kitchen or Hughes, who are all on much friendlier deals. I've said a few times before, a big time D-Linemen would be great for this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmusch Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Lombardi did a great job of structuring Bryant and Kruger's deals. They have no longer have any dead money after this current year Phil Taylor is another one who could free up $5 to 6 million However if Robin and/or D. Bryant go they may as well keep Phil for at least the one year he has left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 They just picked up Taylor's option for next year, so I guess he's staying. And probably after that, as well. But a big disrupter, like a JJ Watt from the 3-4 DE, would be a massive boost to this D. Also, let's not talk about drafting RBs, we already have too many!

jrb12711 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's gotta be focused on the front 7 defensively. I would be completely happy if they chose from the BPA between DE, OLB, and DT in no particular order with both first round picks. Mingo played better Thursday but he's shown nothing more than being a situational player in this league. Rubin can easily be gone next year and this has proven to be our weakest link this season. Lock up Gipson and get two defensive playmakers, sounds like a damn good plan to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian DawgPound Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Moreover, we need to keep Mack at Center. He wanted to leave last summer, didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Uber-pointless thread... $ on the books is meaningless without noting the cap. Plus we have a couple FA's to consider... Draft this, that or the other? But where? List all the blue chippers you want, but we aren't headed towards a top 20 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manzier Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Just as an fyi, If the draft was today, we'd be picking at 15(Buff) & 23(Browns)... And Im still expecting Buff to slide and finish close to .500. So, by the time it's all said and done, Ill be planning on a late 20's pick and a mid teens pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manzier Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Be it FA or draft we need someone who starts straight away and gets to the opposition QB Thats where Im at. If we go DL, then it better be early and a big time player. With the depth we currently have on the line, Im thinking DL in the mid to later rounds will just be more of the same. Solid(good) players, but no dominant ones. That will be the hard part for Farmer this next off season and draft. Last years team was riddled with sub par players, so it wasn't too hard to upgrade at a lot of positions. This year, however, the talent is deeper. So it will take BETTER talent to upgrade. I wouldn't be surprised to see Farmer go for a proven FA for DL, just to get immediate help there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
