Baller.

Not sure I’d put him above Creed Humphrey in relation to last years class, but he’s a perfect zone center and lightning quick to get out to the second level.

Hell of a fit here if that winds up being the need.

Who is the prototype center prospect in recent history? The first one that jumps to mind is Alex Mack. Nick Mangold also comes to mind.

If Landon Dickerson were healthy, and if you view him as a center instead of a guard, he's probably my favorite center prospect of the past 10 years.

I haven't looked at the kid out of Iowa at all--but I do love me some offensive line film.

Travis Fredrick was the next guy in line and THE center but unfortunately his career got cut short by Guillain-Barre.

I think the he's been the best prospect/player/prototype guy. I suspect we will speak of Creed Humphries in the same way in a few years time too.

DE/WR has to be considered our top priorities in next years draft, right? From what I've been able to gather, this EDGE class is very deep in terms of top 30-50 ish players.

And it’s also never too early to start replenishing the offensive line if talent falls…

Those are absolutely the target positions.

I do wonder how things go with Clowney and Takk. So far, Clowney has been a minor disappointment but week three had some flashes. Takk might be a Kareem Hunt case where he is better in a minor role in our organization than getting big money in a chaotic organization. I'd love to see the Browns go with a DE with their late first rounder.

The key is I don't know if they want a second-tier receiver. DPJ and Schwartz are already providing young depth that have a chance to develop into a solid #2 down the line. It's top 45 or forget about it at WR.

I think the positions of need will be WR, DE, DT, and IOL, depending on what happens with Teller. DPJ has been a slight disappointment thus far, after all the hype around him in training camp. Hopefully he can get it going.

It's early in the season. In early October of 2020 I thought defensive edge was the #1 draft priority, then by June they didn't even draft one.

Malik McDowell under team control with ERFA protections takes one big hole away. I do wonder how injuries effect the market for OBJ and Landry, accelerating the likelihood of renegotiated contracts.

If both OBJ and Jarvis want to play together one would hope they take slightly smaller deals than market value to have the chance to retire together on CLE

Drake London is ridiculously good, and if he played with a QB that wasn't Slovis, he'd be getting ultra hyped right now.

 

[Randolphkeys]

If you want to scout some exciting college football prospects, Cincinnati vs. Notre Dame is going to feature a half dozen players who could go on day one.

The Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, Bearcat defensive end Myjai Sanders and corner Sauce Gardner could all be impact rookies next year.

McDowell has been a huge find, for sure. Aside from him, Elliot, & Togiai, who hasn’t played at all, everyone else is a free agent, so there’s a good bit of uncertainty there. Same goes at Edge, as everyone, aside from Myles, is going to be a free agent and may not be back.

Very true. Berry has also shown that he can fill the roster holes with stopgaps at positions of lesser impact where needed. He isn't going to reach in the draft, and he won't overpay for sentimentality.
