2016 Browns Mock Draft Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
you are a p-word for not showing pick 32.

Great job tho. as always. I feel like I am ready to watch the draft, feel overly confident about my knowledge based on a couple of sentences about each player, and ready to instantly judge every team, calling most GMs stupid. CAN'T WAIT.

My entire top ten has changed in the couple of hours since then.

I'm completely convinced Dallas takes Ramsey and Jacksonville takes Bosa.

I just have no clue what happens at three, and it dictates the entirety of 6-10 for me.

I posted it in the other thread...but here is this: Some people have faith in him, some don't. But worth a post:

Noah Spence would look sexy as hell at 32.

Noted. Curious of this guys credibility. Seems to like to talk a lot.
 
The draft had become the Browns Fans Super Bowl. Enjoy every minute of it. that being said, the sadistic part of me is rooting hard for a trade up to no. 22 to take Connor Cook. As for no. 8, if they can move down and still get Jack that would be fantastic. Otherwise I want them to stay put and just take him.

What are your thoughts on Bosa as an OLB in our base, then kicking inside (maybe even DT) on passing downs?

I definitely think he's versatile enough to be that player. His technique is so that it can allow him to beat guys with his hands inside, while still having enough athleticism and long arms on the outside to make plays.

Just don't want to use him covering tight ends and whatever we've continued to do to Mingo over the last few years.

Either way I don't think he lasts past Jacksonville.
 
Final Mock - 1st Round:

1 - Los Angeles Rams - Jared Goff - QB - Cal - They got their guy, the Browns didn't. Jared Goff and Todd Gurley, with Aaron Donald leading that defense...You'll see them grow, quickly.

2 - Philadelphia Eagles - Carson Wentz - QB - NDSU - Hard to imagine Wentz justifying the price it took to get him, but I still think he can be a productive QB with the potential to be better than average.


3 - Jacksonville - Jalen Ramsey - DB - FSU - Jacksonville jumps up in front of Jerry for the guy they covet.

4 - Dallas Cowboys - Joey Bosa - DE - The Ohio State University - Unhappy about not getting Ramsey, the Cowboys beef up their front seven with Bosa who can move all around their defense.

5 - San Diego Chargers - Ronnie Stanley - LT - Notre Dame - There is too much smoke here to ignore. The Chargers said they've been fixed in on their guy for a while, that leads me to believe it's either him or Buckner. The Bolts get a pick back and still get their guy.

6 - Baltimore - Laremy Tunsil - LT - OleMiss - Big trouble for the AFC North, as Tunsil is the best prospect in this class to me. How he's still here at this point is shocking, but the Ravens will take him with open arms.

7 - San Francisco - DeForest Buckner - The Browns get scooped again, this time by the 49ers who pair him with former college teammate Arik Armstead on a solid DL.

8 - Miami - Vernon Hargreaves - CB - Florida - Everyone thinks they're moving up for Zeke, but I'd be inclined to believe Hargreaves is the target. Tannebaum loves to build his defense through CBs.

9 - Tampa Bay - Shaq Lawson - DE - Clemson - Pass rush specialist for a Bucs

10 - New York - Zeke Elliott - RB - The Ohio State University - The Giants spent like madmen to fix their defense, now they add a complete back to their offensive arsenal that looks as impressive as anyone on paper.

11 - Chicago - Sheldon Rankins - DT - Louisville - Teams who passed on Aaron Donald a few years ago regret it, Chicago doesn't make this mistake. Rankins is so active and will be a great pick here.

12 - New Orleans - Myles Jack - LB - UCLA - Yes they have Stephone Anthony, who is fantastic, but Jack is too good to pass up and the Saints can use his speed on the outside.

13 - Cleveland - LaQuon Treadwell - WR - OleMiss - His game speed is elite, his 40 time isn't. The Browns add a playmaker for their offense and pick up another 3rd rounder plus a pick next year.

14 - Oakland - Karl Joseph - S - West Virginia - With two big, athletic CBs on the outside, the Raiders are looking for someone to be an impact player at S. Joseph can be that guy.

15 - Tennessee - Leonard Floyd - EDGE - Georgia - Really tried to find a place for him before this, there's alot of smoke about him going in the Top 10.

16 - Detroit - Corey Coleman - WR - Baylor - With Marvin Jones and Golden Tate on the outside, the Lions need to find someone to matchup in the slot and make plays.

17 - Atlanta - Darron Lee - OLB - The Ohio State University - Flat out one of the highest ceiling players in this draft.

18 - Indianapolis - Ryan Kelly - C - Alabama - Solidifies the interior of the line for years.

19 - Buffalo - A'Shawn Robinson - DL - Alabama - Versatile lineman allows them to get creative with some fronts.

20 - New York Jets - Eli Apple - CB - The Ohio State University - Youthful New Jersey native comes home, working in next to Revis and as his heir apparent.

21 - Washington - Reggie Ragland - ILB - Alabama - The Redskins have alot of talent on D, but Perry Riley and Will Compton in the middle of their defense probably could use an upgrade. Also considered TJ Green here.

22 - Houston - Will Fuller - WR - Notre Dame - Need someone to take the pressure off Hopkins, he can provide a deep threat to occupy safeties while Hopkins goes to work.

23 - Minnesota - Josh Doctson - WR - TCU - Tall, handsy receiver who can provide a threat at multiple levels of the field. A great compliment to Diggs.

24 - Cincinnati - Jack Conklin - OL - Michigan State - I just don't know how he fell this far, but I couldn't find a spot for him. Really praying the smoke to Cleveland isn't true.

25 - Pittsburgh - William Jackson - CB - Houston - Desperately needed for the Steelers, Jackson is a well rounded CB with great skills and was coached well.

26 - Seattle - Cody Whitehair - OL - Kansas State - This pick makes too much sense, he's an elite level OG who can absolutely play tackle in this league too.

27 - Green Bay - Taylor Decker - OT - The Ohio State University - Prototypical GB offensive lineman, can lineup at either tackle spot.

28 - Kansas City - Keanu Neal - S - Florida - Bit outside the box here, but Neal is a ferocious hitter who pairs nicely with the rest of their secondary.

29 - Arizona - Paxton Lynch - QB - Memphis - Taking the heir apparent to Carson Palmer is becoming critical. For a team which doesn't have too many holes, now is the time to jump at the guy they like.

30 - Carolina Panthers - Kendall Fuller - CB - VT - The loss of Josh Norman is felt here, so they go out and replace him with a polished coverage veteran.

31 - Denver Broncos - Connor Cook - QB - Michigan State - They've been unable to lock down their QB of the future, and likely don't do it with this either. But I think they'll try.


Welp, 7 correctly mocked to the right team. A few more teams I had the right position for.

Looking back, this was so difficult with the Tunsil thing and the uncertainty of the third overall pick right up until the draft.

Wish I would have stuck with my Zeke to Dallas selection, I had that for months and then bailed at the last minute.
 
Matt Miller has proven himself to be pretty respectable throughout the last few years while covering the draft.

There were alot of people who were wrong yesterday, given that almost nobody had Bosa going to San Diego.
 
Matt Miller puts in a lot of effort every year and I can respect his opinion on the draft. Mock drafts are virtually impossible to get right with how many smokescreens are thrown around.

I still don't fully trust any BleacherReport "reporters" on anything important. Especially Jason Cole, fuck that guy.

Are you actually joking?
