Flugel Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Give it a shot - it's just for fun. Try to make it someone projecting in the vicinity of the draft slot in round 2. I'll start with a slight reach (and I'm thinking we might even draft a RB in the next round). Here's my selection for the Browns at Pick #54 in Round 2 (and if he head butts Rodger Goodell - I'll give him a $200 bonus): LT Kiran Amegadjie - Yale, 6-5 321lbs 37 inch arms - 2 time All Ivy League 1st Team Selection. Strong, fast, fierce and agile. Led his team to 2 Ivy League Championships. In 2015, the Bucs drafted Division 3 OG Ali Marpet out of Hobart in the 61st slot overall and he eventually made the Pro Bowl. 1 Mock Draft in Athlon Sports Draft Mag has the KC Chiefs drafting Amegadjie at #63 overall to protect the blindside of Mahomes. Right now LT is a glaring weakness on the blindside of QB the Browns have invested a lot of money in. LTs go fast in the draft so it might be very well worth the reach. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 There was a time where I actually did follow the draft and prospects. I don't know anything about the players in this years draft. I would imagine they will address the O-line and possibly linebacker. Seems like we addressed RB and WR pretty well in FA. I would bring in another CB to develope as insurance for Ward or Newsome.

A new starting LT is No1 on my wishlist, so I am on board with your pick. I suppose @TexasAg1969 is right about our situation being more BPA, go with the flow, yada yada, boring. I want my LT dammit! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be nice to finally have a first rounder again next draft, that will kickstart draft talk throughout the offseason by more people on here beside the small crew of guys who get into it a little deeper. Hell, I just start looking up MLBs mock drafts 🤣 because I'm in the draft mood. Somehow the Guardians won the lottery and got the #1 overall pick (they had lie a 2% chance). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected more out of a Mackie winner. Not only that Bryant was a very good OT in high school believe it or not. I can't remember if he switched to TE as a senior or in college. All that being the case, I thought he'd bring some of those blocking skills to our offense. I was wrong. On the other hand, David Njoku has developed into a very good blocking TE after a shaky start with that part of his game. In some of our previous discussions where we picked 5 favorite guys for our 2nd and 3rd round draft slots - Dutch put Buckeyes TE (morphed from LB/DE) Cade Stover at 6-4 251 lbs as one of his favorites. He seems like he offers that throwback dual purpose Dave Casper/Mark Bavaro type. He made tons of clutch catches at Ohio State and had 5 TD receptions in each of the last 2 years. In the end, I like your thinking about TE and Sanders is listed as the 2nd highest rated TE in 1 magazine and the 3rd in another. Stover is rated just 1 spot behind him in each of those draft magazines fwiw. Both guys are good clay to mold for an NFL team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine the outrage from a certain corner of this message board if say Lamar Jackson had done something like that? THE OUTRAGE! 😁 (The absolute best part of that incident is a guy drafted #1 in the NFL could not outrun a cop.

WR Luke McCaffrey, Rice 6-2 195 lbs. Beat his older brother Christian's time in the 40 yard dash running a 4.46. He started off as a QB for Nebraska before transferring to Rice and settling in at WR. He'd make a very good slot receiver IMO. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Luke-McCaffrey-QB-Nebraska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
