22nd and 37th Pick Discussion

[Shakalu M.D.]

I've said for months that I would love Cordy Glenn with #22, but I doubt he will be there. I initially hated Richardson with the #4, but upon hearing some people mention him as the best RB prospect since Marshall Faulk, I am warming up to the idea.

If the Browns do not go with Richardson with #4, put me down for David Wilson out of V.T. with pick #37. I think he has a good shot at being a #1 running back, he's a guy with his head on straight, and people have been quiet about him leading up to the draft.

This is part of the reason I wouldn't be too upset if we passed on Richardson. I love Trent, I was leery at first but he's grown on me a lot. I keep flip flopping between who I'd prefer between him and Claiborne. At this point, I think Trent would have a more tangible effect on the team immediately, but Claiborne is probably the safer pick. If we did pass on Trent this draft is absolutely loaded at the RB spot. I love Doug Martin, think he's going to be a total stud. He's not the only one I like though, Wilson, Pead, LaMichael, all have the potential to be homeruns at the next level.

If we did grab Trent, I wouldn't be opposed to snagging someone like LaMichael in the 3rd as a change of pace back. As much as our offense needs an overhaul, I think we'll probably go defense at at least one of the first 3 picks.

This offense lacks a feature back, adding a "change of pace" back just isn't going to cut it IMO.

If you pass on Richardson, you better be grabbing Doug Martin or David Wilson at 22/37.

I don't think it's feasible to go into this seaso with Hardesty and Brandon Jackson as your feature backs.

I would have LOVED LaMichael James if we kept Hillis. That would have been a great combination. Hardesty and James, not so much.

How about Richardson, Hardesty and James?

I was talking about adding LaMichael in addition to Trent, not alone.

I'm actually cool with that. Even though Richardson's skill set is so great you don't need a complimentary back, it's not the worst idea in the world. Having a back who could save Richardson a few carries a game could potentially elongate his career and effectiveness. Other pressing needs tho, can get a back like him next year if you wanted to or find lower round value guys who could possibly fill the role.

 

[Urban]

No RB, besides Richardson, should be taken in the first round.

Doug Martin begs to differ.

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

I would kill for:

Richardson, Glenn, Lavonte David

I think we'll end up going something like:

Richardson, Martin, Randle.

 

[chumpclassic]

4 Richardson
22 Kendal Wright
37 Lavonte David

4 Claiborne
22 Martin / Wright
37 Randle / Wilson

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

While it's been popularly mocked, I can all but guarantee the Browns won't be going with Jonathan Martin or Kendall Wright at 22.

 

[MoneyForGyros]

I will pass on David Wilson at RB. A dream would be Cordy Glenn at 22. Then a WR at 37.

Also want later : QB Kirk Couins from Michigan State and WR Marvin McNutt from Iowa.

Claiborne, J. Martin/Glenn, Jeffery/Randle

I like that people blame Jordan Jefferson for Randle's struggles yet fail to mention Jeffery had a drunk throwing him the ball at USeC.

Edit: One more thought - people are advocating taking Fleener with 22 but don't want Jeffery at 37 because he "might turn into a TE". He put up 148 yards on 4 catches in one half in the Capital One Bowl, simply abusing one of the top CBs in this draft.

 

[JMcCurry08]

in my opinion Jeffery is a mid to late first round without the weight issues. does Heckert like him I don't know but I think he can be a pretty good wide receiver in the league under the right direction

I'd draft Alshon in the second. As a guard.
