I can't remember who said they were interviewing Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njiba together (maybe Herbstreit?) but the interviewer point-blank asked all three who the best WR was in the room.

Both Olave and Wilson pointed at Smith-Njiba.

It was Herbie…and route running and YAC ability absolutely- JSN is better here. 
 

OSU will have a better duo next year if you can believe that JSN and Harrison Jr.

Looks like the Browns will draft somewhere between #10-18. 

I'll take any of the following Big Ten players with the Browns first:

WR Chris Olave, Ohio State

WR Garrett Wilson, Ohio State

DE George Karlaftis, Purdue

DE David Ojabo, TTUN

I'm really torn on which Ohio State WR I would take if both were available...

What say you tia, Sdbacker, anyone else? 

I’d go Wilson.  
 

I like Olave a lot.  He was a kid from San Diego but honestly I don’t remember his prep career all that well.  OSU found him while recruiting a QB from his HS.

 OSU fans probably see it somewhat like this too…He does the little things really well - not a big guy but blocks downfield.  Special Teams ace (blocked two punts in his career), tracks the deep ball well and just has that knack to get open.  Great speed but I Worry about him getting off press coverage at the next level.  
 

it is January 2,  I’m In the Wilson camp but I’m thinking Jordan Davis DT too.

Im not opposed to packaging this pick and others to get a QB either but I will not open that can of worms now

I can't remember the last time a Buckeye WR even went in the 1st round? Cris Carter nor Micheal Thomas went.. Now they see two !  :) I'd take 2 better than Terry McLaurin's at this point..

How much do you weigh the OBJ/Diggs factor? Play-calling/QB? I have a real concern of attracting a good  FA WR if Landry is not paid again (tagged?) or walks? Could see 2 or 3 WR's drafted?

I've watched a ton of tape on WR Jameson Williams<<<<< that dude is solid in this 3 man race (Wilson/Olave) 1 looks to be gone before we get on clock.. ways to go

time to notch this thread back up ⬆️ 

 

Thanks to @Unsympathetic ..I've found this link as the most compelling draft link out there...   https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/teams/2022/cleveland-browns

Loads of good compiled findings can be found at top of link (I'd label it... "The board before prospects are put to any testings"

Just over 550 consensus Mock Drafts have been compiled into a rather competitive board..

Really enjoying it's Mock Draft Simulator... Drafting for Browns Needs ?  Plenty of good trade back or Up options maybe needed..

Good Luck !    https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/mock-draft-simulator (no signups are needed)

No Trades.. Straight Up 

Garrett Wilson.. in 10 attempts.. Got to pick 13.. only four times...

I'm not mad with the Metchie selection in the 3rd... Cuz,  most won't be happy with the position talent left at either opposites of Edge or DT left at 3rd... a FA DT (or 2) saves cap vs a Edge FA..

Tackles ?  ain't none left worth a 💩, after the 2nd round... Backup FA swing Tackle there also..

I'm starting to like the position of need depth in this class... Not only the WR class appears to be loaded 👍

I'm grown man crushing on T Trevor Penning.. 💪  many others are out there making money...

and Kinnard was picked post-practice to go against Johnson. Johnson? Trade down, pick Johnson, EDGE ? Draft two wr's in the second round?

Jermaine Johnson put KINNARD on the GROUND ??? lol

Johnson was arguably the best player on the field on Tuesday. With a combination of power, his tentacle-like arms, physicality, and an array of pass rush moves, he consistently lived in the backfield. The former Florida State product raised eyebrows with a spin move on Kentucky’s Darian Kinnard in the early stages of one-on-ones, and they both got the spotlight at the end of practice where Johnson put Kinnard on the turf before losing the next two. If stays hot the rest of the week, Johnson could see himself taken in the first round.

 Senior Bowl easy 15 likes ...

Edge-- Jermaine Johnson- Myjai Sanders- Arnold Ebiketie

DT-- Devonte Wyatt- Travis Jones- Perrion Winfrey- Phidarian Mathis

OL-- Trevor Penning- Jamaree Salyer- Zion Johnson

DB-- Roger McCreary- Kerby Joseph- Jalen Pitre

Combining Shrine & Senior bowl... This WR class has a solid chance of going a good 5-6 rounds deep..

QB's..... A Firm Pass!  I'm not convinced on any of them.. Pickett included 😮

Two Pre- Combine consensus player ratings..

Most sims agree, that WR is the browns top need..

DL draft depth looks to be deeper at DT than DE 👀 ..

No telling whom may shake out, ahead in Rounds 2 or 3a/3b...

Good article on the Edge players at the top of the draft, from the Plain Dealer

Nik Bonnito Oklahoma on Day 2.

undersized, but I’d use him in year 1 as a 3rd and long pash rush specialist.  He’s probably more than capable in that role.
