Eagles 1st round pick watch

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I personally don't think Adams will be there at 11.

I don't think Lattimore has said anything about coming out, but he's projected as the best CB by some. Hooker has said in the past that he's going back to OSU, but he's got some real thinking to do now...

Don't want Lattimore. Not because I don't think he'll be good, but because there are so many good CBs and I don't trust his hamstrings. Would rather wait to get a CB (or two) in the second. Go Garrett then either top S or top OT/LB

:alc: Things have obviously changed in 2 weeks..but overall premise still stands I think.
I went through the various trades and compensatory selections and generated an estimated 2017 draft order, given every team's record with two weeks to go in 2016. Then, I used Chase Stuart's draft value chart to generate expected returns for each pick. The difference between what the Browns have to work with and the rest of the NFL, frankly, is staggering. The average team has 44.8 points of draft capital to invest in the 2017 draft. The 49ers, who have the second-most capital, have 65.5 points, with no other team above 57 points.

Cleveland, even after trading a third-round pick for Collins, has 102.3 points of draft capital to invest in April's draft. That's a staggering amount. To put that in context, the difference between the Browns and the 49ers is 36.8 points; the value of the first overall pick itself is 34.6 points. The difference between the Browns and an average team is just about the value of the second and third overall picks put together.

I'm probably wrong because it seems like the Browns never do what is expected.
Browns took mega producers or high SPARQ scores last year. I'd say the combine should really help us out in narrowing down their range of prospects.

Not to mention our top picks (Corey Coleman, Ogbah) had both. I personally expect it to solidify Myles Garrett as #1, because by all accounts his SPARQ scores are insane.
 
It will be interesting to see how this regime views running backs. One of Fournette and Cook should be available with this pick. Both have outstanding athletic traits and production, and seem like locks to succeed in the NFL.

I get that we need to improve our defense, but the offense also needs to improve to give the defense a rest. Crowell did a great job to start the year, but faded as the season went on. Now that his contract is up, the Browns have to decide if he's worth investing long-term, or if they want to find a lead back in the draft.

No way. Crowell has proven behind a capable line that he can have huge days. Not a fucking chance they touch a RB at 1/12
 
Pick update:

Thankfully the Colts came back to win.

The pick is currently #12 pending these results:

New Orleans - down 28-13 to ATL
Arizona - up 13-3 on LA

The scenarios:

If both win, the pick will be #11.
If one of the two win, the pick will be #12
If both lose, the pick will be #13

So #13 is worst case scenario, #11 best.

I doubt New Orleans comes back, so most likely it will be #12.

The pick is 12. Let the speculation begin
