When do we cut Jarvis and Odell loose? Even if all goes well, they are both a few years from 30 when the NFL declares skill position players dead to them. Maybe 2 years? Maybe after seasons end if they both increase their value, I wouldn't be surprised to see us move them both. If they're not long for the team (2 years or less) that means we definitely need to get a WR in this draft and develop them to step in when the time is right.

Yeah, it's the likely better option as stinking up the joint to earn the 10th overall pick gives us some space to trade down but likely remain in position to still select a high quality player.

We need this situation so bad. It's going to be a wild wild one. Isaiah Simmons, Justin Herbert, and Tua Tagovailoa are going make whatever happens after the first 2 picks an eventuality that none of us likely saw coming. What I can't figure is if this draft has a 1st round and top of the 2nd round so deep that we should take the trade down approach. I go back in forth, but the more players I learn about the more I feel like it's protective strategy that we might want to explore. I don't know though.

And there it is. I was waiting for it show its true face. The old "they're lazy, we built it; they're complainers who won't pick themselves up by their boot straps like us; hand outs; takers, and criminals and just tools of one party who gives them the free stuff the lazy good for nothings clearly want." Lol. Classic stuff. A true classic engineered belief system that took decades and generations to solidify as a way of explaining the world in the minds of many to divide them from their fellow human being. Has no conceptualization of the Working-Poor class which makes up the vast majority of poor and non-white populations. The people that work multiple low wage jobs to support family and a living. The handout, poor leach myth is an essential one to rally support for one wing of corporate-war bird. There is another wing of the same bird. Over half the country and over 139 Million people don't vote because they see both parties as the same and that there is a negative relationship between what people want and what policies and actions their government takes. There myth is that those non-voters do so because they are uneducated or bad citizens but most research actually shows that people in the US don't vote largely because of apathy and report that they "feel like their vote will not make a difference based on the candidate choices." It's a Duopoly. One Party with two popular wings that act in public as if they disagree. But both parties are the same; both beholden to elite global corporate interests and the war profiteer machine. They vote in lock step against the desire of the majority of people. Their are only a handful of symbolic disagreements that get played up in the theater in order to rally different subsets of people into their disagreement seating sections before the illusion show begins. The Duopoly bird still lives as long as the majority of people don't vote. They don't vote because of generations of class warfare and domination by elite corporate interests making them believe as if it is better to just not engage in the system anymore. The vote is not decided by leaches who want handouts from one party VERSUS by the good guys that pull themselves up by their own boot straps for the other good party as you suggest. Those are both myths. The vote is decided by voter apathy, lack of turnout, and corporate interests every single time. Those corporate interests pick one wing of the bird to put most of their money on but also put their money on the other wing of the bird as well. Whichever one wins they're still riding in first class on their way to what they believe is victory... but it's short lived and the plane along with all of us on it is in a death spiral with the pilots asleep at the wheel. If you're still trapped in the maze of "my party/tribe is better than that other party/tribe" then I'm afraid you're missing out on what's really going on.

Socioeconomic class is an important predictor in incarceration and class is an essential aspect often missed in discussions of all social phenomena. However, class is not a predictor historically and to present day over and above racial/ethnic categorization as numerous data points and research illustrated that likelihood of incarceration is higher for people of color than for non people of color at every economic level as African-American, Indigenous, and Latino men raised in the top 1 percent were as likely to be incarcerated as their White counterparts raised in households earning about from 33,000 to 36,000. Class is important, but does not explain incarceration over and above other factors alone and Class hierarchies themselves have been historically engineered to consist mainly of certain people and not others. There are dumb criminals. However, being arrested or stop and frisked is often independent of intelligence.

@mistakey ------------ You better chill on those thought crimes man. HUAC's bought to pull up to your doorstep any second now ... grab the essentials and get out of there ...

It's all going according to plan. I have a strange feeling that Herbert is going to be the 2nd QB off the board in the top 10 not Tua. Bake Mayfield's success helps Kyler. Lamar Jackosn's success will help the stock of running QBs. Josh Allen's success will help Justin Herbert's draft position. ------- Other Senior Bowl Buzz stuff on Lloyd Cushenberry III, OC/OG LSU made me go back and watch him. He played at Center so I didn't watch him much unless he flashed while watching Damien Lewis. Cushenberry's length and movement skills are amazing. He be a great 3rd round target at guard if he makes it there.

My perception is that I'm chill, non-emotionally posting my perspective and responses to other people's disagreeing opinions while they are raging. I don't rage over internet forum discussions nor do I see disagreement and discussion as a big problem. But the spirit of your post is right though. I'm done with it. Some people would rather block out dissenting opinions rather than discuss other perspectives. Though Kumbaya is not Nigh, let it be what it is. It is what it is.

"Keep us safe from these people" ... sounds like we have a completely different understanding of the human beings that use substances to cope with traumas or other ills. I think the characterization of people that use and possess marijuana as all stereotyped "dangers on the loose about to harm/injure us, our women, and children" doesn't match the reality of how, why, and where people use marijuana. Some people cope with food; others with the legalized drug of alcohol or other prescription medications. I don't see them as "poor babies" as you suggest; I see them as human beings with complex mental lives and all sorts of childhood and life traumas they're trying to live through as best as they can. Statistically speaking, most people become addicted to drugs because of physical pain, depression, moral injury, shame, or as a way to cope with and escape mentally from stressors. Addiction for most people is not a life they want as they destroy themselves and those they love. While I don't partake in it drugs personally, I don't see such people that turn to using the plant marijuana as people that need to be locked in cages so that my family, friends, and myself are safe. Just as there's a negative social stigma against people with mental health issues as being crazy and one to harm others; the same stigma exists with people that turn to drugs to cope with issues. Similarly, in this country people with mental health issues are locked in cages and don't get the help they need much like people that battle with drug addiction. You say, "you would probably have a different perspective if said drug addict caused harm to you or family.."... the funny thing is I actually have been. Lost thousands of dollars, suffered a terrible mental and physical toll AND STILL through the hell of it all I know that the solution isn't just filling up cages with human beings and letting people drown in the isolation and despair of forced confinement in fir profit prisons. There are better solutions that involve all levels of society. I think it's a crime against humanity to lock someone forcibly in a cage for prolonged periods of time for such reasons, but we strongly disagree. If you feel the need to block me because of the things I've posted about because you disagree with them, please do block me. Don't talk about it; be about it. Please join the blockfest of me. I really don't give a damn. Have at it.

I don't know if Hunt will be there at 41; my sense is that he won't, but Driscoll likely could be. I think Hunt will be a late riser as he's thought to have elite leadership intangibles and likely wow people in the interview room. I haven't heard anything about Driscoll in that regard. CJ Henderson gets a lot of comparison's to Denzel Ward in terms of movement ability and instincts. Durability through tackling on the next level much like Ward is a concern that many people have with Henderson. I loved Joe Haden because he tackled. Ideally, we'd get a strong-bodied CB that can be a force against the run, but Henderson's other abilities project well in a lot scouts minds to a top man and zone cover corner with tackling deficiencies. Depending on what Joe Woods wants he might not be a fit as we already have cover CBs that struggle with tackling.

What the "Opioid Epidemic" has proven is that the most addictive drugs that make their way to the "street" and breakdown people and communities didn't get there by way of some shady, bad "Walter White Breaking Bad" types of people per se, but instead through Corporate pharmaceutical profit based decisions of people in suits and ties. Most of those people avoid any and all punishment, the few that do go to "prison" resorts or get slapped on the wrist while people that suffer with drug addiction are left to rot in cages for various periods of time and suffer more jail/prison related traumas that only aggravate their dependency on drugs. As a society we don't call for stopping those callous drug profiteers in their cars, arresting them, and putting them in jail in order to "get the drugs off the streets." And we don't see them as the stereotype in our minds of "bad guy." There's a growing understanding in this country that people that do opioids are suffering and that the solution isn't throwing them all in jail/prison but instead solutions to help them and their communities get healthy. In the past and still presently, that understanding doesn't make it's way to marijuana dependent users who are suffering their own ills. This country has the largest prison population of any country on planet earth including China despite China being 4x as large. That's because we largely accept myths of "people arrested and in jail/prisons are bad guys/people." The reality of it is the only way to get to such a large prison/jail population relative to other places on earth is that the vast majority of those people placed in cages for years on end are humans that engaged in non-violent drug offenses many of which were related the plant marijuana. There's a history to why such laws were put and place and when and why the human cage populations boomed. There's also a record of what the people that engineered and implemented such laws really believed were their true motivations and rationale behind such laws, and in their own private words and conversations such laws and procedures were not to make society safer for citizens but instead crafted for other population control reasons.

Lol. I'm neither scared nor offended by history or reality. I see that it makes you uncomfortable though. And I already made the arguments, " 2.) I did however make the claim that whether or not they actually did "smell marijuana" is not relevant as "smelling marijuana" amongst other things always serves as routine pretense for search and seizure justification, and that Kareem must know that and wisely adjust accordingly. Hence the, "they're always going to 'smell marijuana," line previously stated." Therefore, "they're always going to smell weed," clearly points to the central point of said argument that the pretense of "smelling weed" is a common practice "always" justification for search and seizure especially in particular situations. I have police officers in my family that would never refute that statement, and anyone in law enforcement who's honest knows that there's a long laundry list of search and seizure justifications that are used in all kinds of situations. You still not processing and comprehending basic statements likely as a result of emotionality or defensiveness If a person was open to disagreements and good discussion, a discussion about misconduct reviews, why the wall/culture of silence makes such infrequent misconduct reviews historically amount to nothing, and what many respected/trusted whistle-blowers and even still on-duty officers have to say about the misconduct review process and the various social pressures that exists to maintain impunity of those that commit misconduct would actually be a worthwhile discussion elsewhere. You're not the type that would enjoy such a discussion.

@NudeTayne Charlatan, I've sent your previous post(s) in to HUAC. I did it for love and country. I did it because we built it, and I'm a true patriot. I'm an us. Some of the stuff you said was us. Then, in the same post you were starting to sound like a them. I pray thee good 'morrow and mercy from our Dear Leader McCarthy... fare thee well.. let thine reprogramming commence. -----------------

You just weren't able to process my statements as they were laid out. 1.) I never made any claims as to whether or not police actually smelled anything in Kareem's situation. How could I know if I wasn't there? 2.) I did however make the claim that whether or not they actually did "smell marijuana" is not relevant as "smelling marijuana" amongst other things always serves as routine pretense for search and seizure justification, and that Kareem must know that and wisely adjust accordingly. Hence the, "they're always going to 'smell marijuana," line previously stated. 3.) It's not a baseless accusation at all, but instead based in decades upon decades of human life experience data with search and seizure, as well as investigative reporting and even organizational self-reports of search and seizure policing strategies that go back many decades.

As long as that new CBA goes the way of where the country seems to be going --OR-- he doesn't have a piss test for 30 days or so, maintains exercise, or goes cold turkey --- OR --- Hit up Onterrio Smith to see if he still has that whizzinator.

The Cleveland Browns 7** Assuming the 3 QBs of Burrow, Tua, and Herbert go top 10, rank the 7 players the Browns should target for selection over a trade-down option. **If you DON'T think there are 7 players that the Browns should value over a trade down, specify how many players you think there are that should be valued over a trade-down and then rank those players. Bonus: Add a few Players that you'd want to target via a trade-down. ---------- The 4 players the Browns should select over a trade down scenario: 1.) Chase Young, DE Ohio STate 2.) Jedrick Wills Jr., OT Alabama 3.) Jeffrey Okudah, CB Ohio State 4.) Andrew Thomas, LT Georgia (too many red flags) -------------- The 2 players the Browns should be tempted to select over a trade down scenario: 5.) Isaiah Simmons, Hybrid-LB Clemson 6.) Derrick Brown, DT Auburn ---------- The 11 players the Browns should target in trade down scenarios of all types (i.e., short versus far trade downs) 7.) Javon Kinlaw, DT South Carolina 8.) Robert Hunt, OT Louisiana Lafayette 9.) CeeDee Lamb, WR Oklahoma 10.) Jerry Jeudy, WR Alabama 11.) Jalen Reagor, WR TCU 12.) Tristan Wirfs, OG Iowa (The Rest of the league's going to see him as a raw guard and he'll fall between 13th to 19th). 13.) AJ Epenesa, DE Iowa 14.) Jordan Elliot, DT Missouri 15.) Kristian Fulton, CB LSU 16.) Jack Driscoll, RT Auburn

What constitutes a small trace? Like a few small crumbled pieces of a leaf? Or a small nugget? Either way I don't give a sh*t, but keeping a backpack with stuff in it in the back in this day in age is still wild. They're always going to "smell marijuana" and search whether there is cause or not; Kareem has to know that.

I'm sure a lot of NFL players do this. I'm also sure a lot of people don't. Professional athletes walk into restaurants, jewelers, and and tons of other places all the time and don't order off the menu. With money, there are requests and answers for whether such requests can be filled. Bruh, celebrities, the rich, and NFL players get the most insane things in their cars that often require customization, interior body work & fabrication and redesign. Asking "hey do you think you could put a hidden compartment in the front somewhere that could store "expensive jewelry and other private materials the size of [blank] with a creative and quick way to open it." Car customization and fabrication shops for the rich and wealthy get such unique requests all the time and are in the business of making money. They are not advertising their products and services to the public in golden clipper, online or in the local paper so they don't have to worry about anything. People with money walk into places or send their assistants to a place and services are customized base on the request and willingness to pay. These customization places aren't keeping a list and contacting law enforcement when a hidden compartment or safe request is made.

HC: Kevin Stefanski QBC: n/a OC: n/a RBC: Stump Mitchell OLC: Bill Callahan TEC: Drew Petzing WRC/Passing Game Coordinator: Chad O'Shea ------ The next two hires are going to be vitally important. I don't like McAdoo as OC at all. I also would prefer Scangarello be more of a OC-in waiting positional coach.

This type of stuff just pisses me off just b/c it shows a lack of ingenuity. If you have millions of dollars, why not just pay a crazy amount of money to have a creatively and ingeniously hidden mechanical compartment or miniature safe in the front of the car where all marijuana or other small things can easily be placed and stored while driving or pulled over. I knew a guy in college who's was a mechanical engineer and auto enthusiasts that created a motorized small safe compartment that could only be accessed by pressing 2 buttons on his then CD-player." I was in the car when we got pulled over and he had things he popped in there that no one could ever tell was a storage place or compartment. And he lined it with scent masking agetns. He did all that on a budget. I don't get why these guys can' spend even 5K for such work (even though it would likely cost less."

When the real stories come out, we'll all realize that while "DePo holds the strings" or "they don't want to work with DePo" are the headlines, the reality is that Paton no longer joining the Browns has really not much to do with DePo as he ended up being one of the positive reasons for Paton to join.
