DeMarvin Leal  DT/DE Texas A&M.😂

Or was it Kenyon Green LT Texas A&M

Either way we had to trade up with most of our draft.😜

OK on a more serious note, we would have a real shot at Texas A&M TE Jalen Wydermyer in that area if we took it all.

ProFootballNetwork  mock draft for 2022:

They have a QB from Liberty....yes, Liberty,  going #1 overall.

I know I will be watching DLinemen (DE and DTs) and WRs intently this upcoming college football season. 

After this season ends, I believe the only DLinemen on the Browns under contract will by Myles Garrett, Jordan Elliot and Tommy Togiai (assuming the last two make the team for the 2021 season). 

We all know the big portion of the salary cap devoted to Landry and OBJ at the WR position, and once again Higgins will be a free agent after this season. Down Rt. 71, there's two potential first round WRs in Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. 

I'd also hit the OLine next year in the draft, for sure. Looking at the starting five as of today (and assuming they are the starting five during the season) of Wills, Bitonio, Tretter, Teller and Conklin, four of them have some to major question marks on how much longer they will be with the Browns. Wills is a mainstay, but Bitonio. Tretter and Conklin are all fairly expensive veterans, and Teller is a free agent after this season who may command a big contract. Finding immediate and/or eventual replacements for those four is an obvious need for next year's draft.

Seriously Leal will likely be a top 10 pick if he comes out early and I think we will be good enough this year to have to trade up to get him. Like Garrett he is flexible enough to come inside or out on the DL. They use him that way now at A&M so he is used to it also.

Clemson has some dudes upfront not sure if they are 22 or 23 eligible.

Zach Harrison OSU DE physical tools are there.

6. Cincinnati: DeMarvin Leal, DE/DT, Texas A&M

7. Philadelphia: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama

8. NY Giants: Drake Jackson, DE/OLB, USC

9. Las Vegas: Chris Olave, WR, The Ohio State University

10. LA Chargers: Garrett Wilson, WR, The Ohio State University

11. Philadelphia: Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame

I think we are going to have to start  calling you   "Woody West".    You both just pay attention to guys that come out of  one school.

Actually that is just the ones you see that I bring here. I also discussed Dak, Henry, Chubb & Michel, as well as others from the SEC. Now I will admit that since I see a lot of SEC down here I bring that focus with me to the BB. Guilty. And if you notice this year I did not really say much about A&M players because I did not feel we had many really good ones of interest to the Browns betterment as a team. But those 3 for next year are really going to be first rounders and all 3 would help this team be better in those positions.

Most other mocks like this one have Howell as the better QB. I agree with them. This one also has Kenyon Green coming out early from A&M, but since he is switching from Guard to Left Tackle, I am not sure he will come out. He is left out of most mocks for that reason I think. Or just no views on him yet as a LT in the SEC.

I suppose picking someone from Liberty is extra insurance  at the position ...
