Maybe it's just me, but it seems like someone says this every year.

Free Agency has been more interesting than the draft

Can i get a $25 gift card to Amazon, since i drafted him in the RCF mock?

@Randolphkeys

If we believe every tweet like this right before the draft, I'm going to empty the bank account. Let's see who really goes in the first round before we start patting ourselves on the back.

Could also just be that teams who are interested in him are trying to make him drop further in the draft. Smoke screens and scare tactics are all over the place.

Bingo was his name-o. I am fine just sitting back and enjoying the first round without sweaty palms this year. It can break so many ways, the Browns I'm sure feel the same way. Figure out the Browns draft board and whether a trade up or down is needed tomorrow morning.

I think people in the business are excited about the draft because it has the chance to be unpredictable (moreso than other years).

There doesn't seem to be a lot of star power though, which keeps fans attention.

Yeah. It's an awful QB class combined with no elite pass rusher, so casual fans are down on it. But overall there are a ton of good players in this draft. Just lacks the elite elite talent at the top.

If you're a fan of a team outside of the top 5-10 picks, this draft is awesome. If you have one of those top picks, you probably feel like you're getting screwed right now.

I'm honestly really intrigued by this draft, especially tonight, despite the Browns not having a pick. I feel like anything could happen. Personally, I'm just hoping the Panthers and/or Seahawks don't draft a QB so we can get Baker the hell out of here.

Edit...Case in point:



Jags are "stuck" with the #1 pick...lol

This draft is epic for nerds but snooze-worthy for causuals

This is the least excited for a NFL draft I have been in probably 2 decades. Lack of 1st round pic, lack of 1st round talent QB, lack of needs for the Browns, not saying we are perfect, but no glaring holes, only thing is the Boilers have 2 players that could go on thursday or friday.

Today is usually the Browns superbowl, draft day isnt as exciting when you are a playoff caliber roster.

I think OSU's main defensive issues have been a lack of a strong LB core. Their DL line and DBs have done well in the NFL. Looking back at LBs: Earl Bruce had Pepper Johnson and Spielman. Cooper had Diggs, Vrabel and Katzenmoyer. Tressel had Hawk, Carpenter and Laurinaitis (along with busts like Ghoulston). Meyer had Jerome Baker and Shazier. With Meyer/ Day we have had Browning and Werner, middle of the road guys.

Is OSU's defensive philosophy aligned more like the Browns with strong DL and DB and fill in the LBs as needed? I wish both had stronger LBs.

Werner and Browning were both Day 2 picks though

I think, overall, the secondary (other than Denzel Burke, who looks like a future high 1st) has been the weaker position group the past 2 seasons. Certainly in 2020.

You're absolutely correct and it's the product of poor recruiting. Grinch didn't recruit anyone except Bryson Shaw and I don't know if Taver Johnson did a damn thing while he was on staff. Hafley, to his credit, landed Clark Phillips who looks like a fine player but jumped ship after Hafley left. Coombs definitely helped to restock the room and hopefully those guys can get coached up by Walton and Eliano.

I just hope we do some crazy shit. I hate not having a first.
Trade all picks for next year’s picks. Maybe save one for that punter. Trade them all to one team that we have identified as one that is going to be fucking terrible next year. Then we can root against them like we did the Texans.
Use all picks to move up to get a first rounder. Keep the 2nd rounder. This will work bc we got JOK in the 2nd, so we will basically get 2 first round picks again.
Trade back and back and back and see if we can acquire the entire 6th round. If we can’t, use next year’s picks. This is like shooting the moon in cards.
