Browns trade Kizer for Randall

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Receivers and corners are competitive by nature. Get them in the same room to chop it up... wait, umm how about smoke the peace... Nope, nope...

One other thing I like about Randall is he has a history as a ball hawk as well as solid tackler. I know he used to be a baseball prospect as well as football prospect, which could be a reason he tracks the ball so well in the air. The concern seems to be durability, but the Browns have ways to build young depth. They lack young talent with experience.
 
and we move back 13 spots for both picks

Sure. Then again, Kizer was the 52nd overall pick, and Randall was 30th overall, so I don't mine tossing in some small trade-ups to even that out a bit if that's how we're counting.

Randle has been really inconsistent but he has moments of being elite. He also, potentially, could become a safety in the very near future. He is has been very good as a ball hawk.

The safety potential is really interesting.
 
This is what nfl.com has for his draft grade.


  • SELECTED BY: Packers
  • ROUND: 1
  • PICK (OVERALL): 30 (30)
PICK ANALYSIS:
"Randall is what today's free safety is all about. He is by far the best cover safety in this draft. Randall can play man-to-man; he has cornerback-level cover skills. You give up some physicality, but his coverage ability is where the NFL is going. Remember Jimmie Ward was a first-rounder last year (to the 49ers) with a similar skill set." -- Mike Mayock

Wow. That really makes you wonder if the Browns might actually plan to convert him.....
 
That sure as hell makes #4 interesting. I've been set on Minkah for awhile now.

That would also explain why G.B. was willing to move him. Ha-Ha Clinton Dix is both the most amazing name in the NFL, but also a top three free safety. If Randall is an average starting outside corner but an above average free safety who is out of position, that trade is a win-win for everybody.

And how bad was Brett Hundley last year to make Kizer look like a clear upgrade?

Rumor has it that G-Will is working on a new defensive package dubbed The Hellfire Angel where the angel lines up, as expected, 25-45 yards back, but the wrinkle here is that in this package, there's another player behind him, often beginning the play outside of the back of the endzone.

In fact I was able to go to a practice session and get an inside look at some of the most unique blitzes that Gregg is going to try this year, including an especially aggressive look out of our base 4-3-2-1-1 the Hellfire Angel package. This is the game changer: we just say fuck it and all line up in a straight line over center. The theory is that if the Hellfire Angel (the last dude) times it right, he pushes into the Angel, who then runs into the next dude, and so on, and if everyone else times it right, we can create a lot of force to eventually drive into Shelton just as the ball is snapped. The center doesn't stand a chance at this point, it's physics.

That’s nonsense.

The hellfire angel must be on the field of play when the ball is snapped or it’s illegal for him to run on.

I recommend putting him at the goal line.
