And so it begins.. I think Vernon gets restructured as he and his agent know they're not getting even 9 if he hits the market now.

Without an additional key piece our WRs will in effect be average, and it has everything to do with how Jarvis Landry and OBJ's skillsets work off one another, synergize, and how defensive play them. Without a 3rd it's difficult to create favorable match-ups that can adapt to defensive calls. An NFL roster is a living organism. One part of the organism's optimal functioning relies on other parts working in proper order. The Browns WR personnel (i.e., a quick but slow possession receiver in Jarvis and a more explosive all around WR that attracts double teams and defensive rotations in OBJ) requires a 3rd dynamic play-maker via the WR, TE, and/or Receiving-RB position to gravitate and pull-in defensive players coverage attention and field-focus so that Jarvis' slower developing routes cannot be sat on via conservative coverages while the defense rotates its resources toward OBJ. It creates terribly murky passing pictures for the QB to make a decision on when he looks out and sees conservative zone coverages overtop Jarvis and both a Safety and CB devoted to OBJs side of the play with LBs zoning underneath. In the end, without that 3rd piece to threaten the defenses and take away attentional and coverage responsibility focus away from Jarvis and OBJ, the sum of the WR parts will remain average. It can be argued that Kareem Hunt can serve in that role, but as long as Nick Chubb is on the team, our primary personnel packages lack that dynamic passing threat that can help create space or match-up opportunities. As much as Nick Chubb is arguably the best player on the team (and despite that Bengals circus TD catch his rookie year) his receiving and route running deficiencies limit his ability to be that although his running prowess can help create clean passing pictures via an effective play-action game. Maybe a healthy David Njoku can be that for us (there have been flashes throughout both of his healthy years), but it's nothing to bet on. The Browns DLine is also missing an additional piece in either an effective situational rusher at DE beyond Myles, a run stopping specialist at DT, a pass rushing specialist at DT, or some hybrid impact DLineman. The CBs are talented but injury prone, and they'll be helped when the opposing QB knows their is competent Safety help at various levels of the field threatening to disrupt plays. The good news is a piece here or there could make the whole far better than the sum of it's parts. We need 4 players to unlock the full synergistic power of our WRs and DLine groupings and transform both sides of the ball. We need a force at TE and a 3rd reliable, speed threat WR. That will unlock the full powers of OBJ and Jarvis. We need a pass-rushing or run-stopping force at DT and at least a situational pass rusher to squeeze the pocket and QB platform opposite Myles. Such players don't have to be stars, but they need to be stars in their roles. That's why roster-building synergies have to be taken into account for draft and roster decisions. That's a particular free agent approach could transform this team... or why a draft approach could. 1.) [Insert Impact DL Here] Javon Kinlaw, DT South Carolina // Derrick Brown, NT Auburn // AJ Epenesa, DE Iowa ... etc 2.) [Insert Impact WR Here] Henry Ruggs, WR Alabama // Jalen Reagor, WR TCU // Justin Jefferson, WR LSU // Laviska Shenault Jr., WR Colorado ... etc 3.) [Insert Impact WR Here] Adam Trautman, TE Dayton // Brycen Hopkins, TE Purdue ... etc We all our focused on OLine because it's a real need, but between Free Agency and the Draft we have to get those key pieces to unlock what we already have and elevate the whole to be more than the sum of its parts.

Case Keenum Pay him well for 2 years and hope he never sees the field despite the pay.

1.) Wirfs is a Guard exclusively 2.) Jedrick Will Jr. OT1 3.) Robert Hunt OT2

@BleedTheClock Who do you have more belief in as a player that will succeed on the next level... Joe Bachie, LB MSU or Kenny Willekes, DE MSU? Never saw Anthony McFarland will have to check it out. Essang Bassey was unanimously panned as being one of the biggest losers from the Senior Bowl not just on weigh-ins but play. Even still you have to believe in what you saw displayed on the film. In the same way, I believe in what I saw Terrence Steele do throughout the course of the season getting guys blocked even when it looked ugly. Terrence Steele along with Calvin Throckmorton and Alex Taylor all struggled in the actual game; however, based on most reports Steele had a consistently good week. Will be interesting to see where he goes.

I agree on Lynn Bowden Jr. ... he's one of "my guys" but I forgot to include him and others. You're right on Hamler as well. Queen is absolutely overrated. AJ Dillon was a nice one cut back last year when I thought he was coming out but I honestly haven't watched anything of his this year Gallimore's another good one that's being underrated some but he's boom or bust as well.

Gentleman (and ladies??) ... It's that time of the year again. The draftnik community is in full frenzy and we're all making predictions about other human beings abilities on something called the world wide web. Let's start to compile lists though I'm sure they'll change over time. List some of the players you think are Underrated, Overrated, Destined to be JAGs, or just pure cheeks. ---------------- Most Underrated Robert Hunt, OT/OG Louisiana Laffayette Troy Dye, LB/Edge Oregon Joe Reed, WR/KR/PR Virginia Daishawn Dixon, OG San DIego State Jack Driscoll, RT Auburn Denzel Mims, WR Baylor Michael Pittman Jr., WR USC Tyrie Cleveland, WR Florida Jordan Elliot, DT Missouri Antoine Winfield Jr., SS Minnesota Terrance Steele, RT Texas Tech Shane Lemieux, OG Oregon Fools-Gold/Highly Overrated/High Cheeks Factor Kenneth Murray, LB Oklahoma Curtis Weaver,OLB/DE Boise State Jonah Jackson, OG Ohio State Solomon Kindley, OG Georgia K'Laivon Chaisson, OLB/DE LSU (as a 43-DE) Bradlee Anae, OLB/DE Utah (as a 43-DE) Grant Delpit, S LSU Ben Bredeson, OG Michigian Lucas Niang, OT TCU Trey Adams, OT Washington Brandon Aiyuk, WR Arizona State Tyler Johnson, WR Minnesota Ashtyn Davis, FS California Josh Jones, RT Houston (In a ZBS System) Jordan Brooks, LB TTU Yetur Gross-Matos, DE Penn State Gabriel Davis, WR UCF JAG Extraordinaires: Khalid Kareem, DE Notre Dame Trevon Hill, DE Miami Logan Wilson, LB Wyoming Josh Uche, OLB/DE Michigan (as a 43-DE) Darrell Taylor, DE Tennessee Jabari Zuniga, DE Florida Evan Weaver, LB California Jason Stowbridge, DE North Carolina DJ Wonnum, DE South Carolina Just Pure Cheeks Jared Pinkney, TE Vanderbilt

Pure.... Utter... Madness... You let him play next year out and offer him a team-friendly contract. If he doesn't take it, you let him play his rookie contract out and franchise or transition tag him so he doesn't become a UFA. That would mean we still have 2 years with Chubb at around 2 million per year.... then there would be a 3rd year at the franchise value which will likely be around 12 million. In essence, that would be a 3 year, 16 million dollar deal. That's why it makes a ton of sense to franchise tag a RB after the rookie year. By no means do you trade Nick Chubb.

It's a great question and a tough one. Right now, option 1 is the one, but option 2 is intriguing. I really believe in Hunt's ability to be a dominant ZBS Tackle at the next level though I think he'd be a tremendous Guard as well. The key in a ZBS is the Center and the Guard. They are the most important people on the Offensive Line and have to make the most critical and tough decisions and cover the most ground and have the most athletic flexibility. So, I'm tempted to put the best player out of the group you listed (Robert Hunt) at Guard. Jedrick Wills Jr. RT // Robert Hunt RG would be unreal to see though Muti and Hunt could be a devastating duo as long as Muti stays healthy and Hunt continues building functional strength. I love JC Tretter but at some point we're going to have to invest in a high quality Center that can reach block b/c if JC goes down the whole offense comes undone.

There's no doubt that he has a ton of upside and has some familiarity with Zone concepts, but saying Becton was awesome in "ZBS" last year is a real stretch imo. Satterfield's offense this past year was heavy heavy on pistol, a quick play-action game, and inside zone calls with very few outside zone calls sprinkled in. People that think he's a power tackle because of his size aren't paying attention. But he's best as a power, gap scheme Tackle imo not because of his size but because of his displayed play traits and decision-making. The calls where they had outside zone Becton display routine issues in blocking decision-making and hip inflexibility to quickly flip or change direction for a seal off or cut off block. He often chooses the wrong defender ti block which visibly upset his Guard and RB at times on those play calls. He struggles locating when he has to get horizontal fast and cover a lot of ground for stretch looks. Out of all the Tackles we all talk about he also had the fewest number of True Pass Sets based analytical breakdowns as he often receives help via a help blocker or schemed help. There's a lot to like and Becton has a lot of upside, but if we set aside Becton's size and just look at his blocking instincts, decision-making technique, and ZBS play traits, there's quite a few better options. In the end you can't teach size and that will likely win the day and make him a top 5 pick.

Indeed. I do think Becton size and strength-wise is the perfect "Hog Molly" in Dave Gettleman's wildest "Hog Molly" fantasies. I could also see the Giants going Derrick Brown and to finish off an impressive 34-front starting line-up of DE Leonard Williams // NT Derrick Brown // DE Dexter Lawrence. The Giants really hold the keys for the chain of events that will effect which players are available at 10 for us. In the end, I can't see Gettleman passing on elite big men for a Wide Receiver or even Hybrid-LB, but that top 10 isn't going to be a wild ride.

Josh Jones is a powerful stiff head to toe linear movement blocker. He has to play in a straight ahead and straight back power or gap scheme. His hip inflexibility and stiff ankles make his change of direction or lateral agility abysmal. He's not at all what we need. But Shon Coleman was one of the stiffest ankles and lower body power playing Tackles in recent memory so maybe that's Berry and Co's blindspot. I don't get the love for Alex Taylor at all. He plays with some of the worst leverage. I have a feeling Robert Hunt, Netane Muti, and even Jack Driscoll all go before our 2nd round pick. Therefore, we likely cant just sit back and wait until the 2nd round to address OLine. Wills wont be there at 10. Therefore, the most optimal pairing that we could realistically get is likely Guard Tristan Wirfs at 10 then come back and get Tackle Robert Hunt (I still see him as a move Tackle not just a Guard) via trade up a few spots in the second. Or if Callahan thinks he get get Mekhi Becton to keep his weight down and increase his flexibility for a ZBS scheme. Though I honestly think Davd Gettleman is all in on Becton at 4.

1.) In Castonzo's own words, he's not an option. Below is why. 2.) In before the Tony Jefferson posts... he's beyond washed and moves like a glacier now..

Chase Young ... then Jedrick Wills Jr. ... then Jeffrey Okudah

There's more to team and roster building and the GM office than the ability to scout football talent. He was fired from Kansas City for substantial reasons. To fire such a talented evaluator in KC means he has many working dynamic warts that don't often make into public discourse. Brett Veach was the driving force behind Patrick Mahomes' evaluation followed by Veach getting Andy Reid on-board then Dorsey. Dorsey was the driving force behind Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and many other successful players in the league however. Players like Nick Chubb were Zo Highsmith's guy while Corbett was an Eliot Wolf and Dorsey guy according to Browns advanced scouts in their public comments. The issue with firing him in the first place was mostly that it was no secret how he went about roster building and his various working dynamic deficiencies, and if all along the goal was alignment in a forward-thinking analytics based front office we shouldn't have hired Dorsey in the first place.

Ryan Grigson and Andrew Berry love loved Clayton Geathers, NS/SS Indianapolis Colts as an ultimate team/culture guy with productivity on the field. Between Joe Woods' connections to Anthony Harris, SS/FS Vikings, Jimmy Ward NS/SS 49ers, and now Berry/Grigson's connection to Clayton Geathers, NS/SS we really have to capitalize on recruiting 2 of the 3. Anthony Harris out of the 3 has the most viable quality impact ability to play Free Safety with Jimmy Ward being a better match-up safety option relative to Geathers who's good in that role as well. I wouldn't mind signing all 3 allowing Anthony Harris and Jimmy Ward to start with Sheldrick Redwine, and Clayton Geathers as back-ups. Outside of Xavier Mckinney and Antoine Winfield there aren't a lot of safeties in this class that can come in and make a quality impact although there are quite of few longterm developmental pieces. I have a feeling that the smart, tough, and accountable on and off the field profile of will match with Ashtyn Davis, FS California sans the toughness, but I don't think he has the durability and physicality/tough mindset to be a real quality player above replacement level at the next level The Eric Murray trade sending Ogbah out was so egregious because Murray is a UFA in 2020 as well. It would've been more worthwhile to give a young pass rusher another year of development and another look before he hit free agency. Ogbah was on pace for a 10 sack season and high quality pressure rate and run stuffs rate before he got injured playing for Kansas City.

I played as well... some maybe even many would say I was high on the cheeks scale even though I was a co-captain. By cheeks, I simply meant non-factors at the next level and not worthy of imo a round 1 through 5 selection relative to the talent expected to be present at other positions. As non-4th round 3rd day picks UDFAs, the list makes sense though I think there will be starters available at in the 5th at other non-Edge/DE positions given the depth of the WR, RB, CB, and TE classes. I'd opt for those positions over a replacement level DE.

Anthony Edwards is a freak and really nice basketball player, but even if the Cavs had #1 I'd go in a different direction. Length, elite play-making and vision, elite ability to break-down defender off the dribble, defensive stop ability, elite awareness and feel for the game, can't live without ball, had to go through accelerated maturation after experiencing immaturity in the national spotlight ... ... give me Lamelo Ball ... all day long... and don't bring up his relationship with his father as it's irrelevant after Lonzo-LaVar have gone through a father-son relationship growth/maturation. Lamelo is the future of the NBA. He may be 6'9" or 6'10" when it's all said and done as he's still growing as a 6'8" teenager. He has wonky shot mechanics and an inconsistent, non-replicatable form, but it's not as broken as Lonzo's entering the league and he shoots from deep range with ease. Trade Sexton and Garland for assets and/or young core post or wing-piece that can stretch and run the floor. Let Lamelo Ball and Kevin Porter Jr make mistakes and cook for a few years with hopefully another young core piece at SF or PF/C acquired through the trade of Garland, Sexton, and the Cavs future expiring contracts. James Wiseman is a less skilled Marvin Bagley. You don't pass on Lamelo b/c we "have 2 guards already" upgrade on both them and trade them off for other sustainable pieces that synergies with the ways the game is being played going forward. Lamelo is special and has improved on the defensive and professional engagement. He's all ball and he's going to go off once he gets into the league.

lol... indeed... Just say no to influence from the town of Cheek De Butt, the hometown of almost the entirety the 2020 DE draft prospect pool. as such I'm still taking a WRs over those also-rans as the WRs or RBs or TEs in that range have a chance at doing more than just being roster filler relative to the DEs.

I've seen them all except for Rondell Carter, and all of them are buttcheeks or non-factors. A few of them character risks that won't be allowed at the combine because of assaults history. That 2nd round or 3rd round pro-bowl 43-DE isn't walking through that draft door. Epenesa or Okwara... then don't waste a pick on one until the 5th round b/c rounds 2 through 4 it won't be worth it when there are better starter impact players at other positions.

"Excellent chance to be a high-end pass rusher IMO"? A 1st or 2nd? I didn't see that at all. To me, Greenard is a 34OLB prospect like a lot of this year's Edge prospects. I didn't see the speed or quickness or bend; I didn't see the violent or active hands. I did see the power and bull rush though. I think he's a non-fact at 43-DE at the next level. This is one of those classes where if you don't get Epenesa in the 1st or Okwara in the 2nd, then you have to skip out on the replacement level players that will go rounds 2 to and 3. There are going to be real quality starters available in rounds 2 and 3 and none of them are likely going to be at the DE position imo. If Greenard, Anae, Curtis Weaver, Uche, etc are there in the 2nd or 3rd, I'd still pass on them b/c I have no confidence in them becoming a quality starter at any point as a 43-DE. Their all 2nd and 3rd round "this is great value" fool's gold when the next draft/off-season teams will be looking for better long-term starter quality replacements.

It's a rough rough DE-class filled with Nate Orchard-types from top to bottom that will be pissing away 2nd and 3rd round picks down the drain as most are all just replacement level players that front offices will be looking too upgrade on right away. None to me have any real staying power. Uche in his wide-9 and low leverage snaps exposed some of the leverage and balance flaws in Wirfs game at the Tackle position. He's a nice player who plays with the dog in 'em but doesn't have the rare twitch gifting or length of Ingram, Clark, and Ngakoue. Like Bradlee Anae I think his best chance at success is going to be at 34-OLB. He'll be a quality pick-up in the later rounds. Anae doesn't have the length and size of Hubbard, and I think both Anae and Uche would struggle as 43-down-DE's at the next level. Of that list, Julian Okwara is the only one that has a chance to be a quality impact DE starter at some point. Ogbah's film was all one note in college while Okwara has far more bully ball dog dominant snaps against quality opponents than Ogbah; however, Okwara also has lower lows and too many snaps where he's not engaged. The next level ability is there though.
