Tour2ma Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Ward was my "if stuck at #4 pick" and the top non-QB on my board. Barkley and Chubb both play positions where you can approach their production in the aggregate... something that is impossible to do at CB. He's a press corner made for Williams' D. A shutdown CB who brings our total of those to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyesNut0623 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Any word on Ward's Jersey # yet? I've seen every other drafted rookie but him. Very weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is waiting for Taylor to go bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good catch, I forget about Jamar, probably because he put up a big bagel in the int department last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I’m guessing they cut Taylor before camp they’re not able to trade him. Seems to be on the outs in the rotation and good enough to get a shot elsewhere and makes sense to get that chance before camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see him making the team or close to it. We are probably trying to get out of his contract. also as a player i think he avoids contact. Which is understandable, who wants to tackle RB's and people running really fast, but not good as a career move for a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree I think he has some value, just in the fact he's showed he can do it in the past. I think we can get a late round from a team with low CB depth on a flier for him. I think he has worth but we now have pretty good secondary depth. He's making a tad over $5 million which isn't too crazy and I think he can be cut with minimal Guaranteed $ jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jking948 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 This guy was my favorite player in the draft. The most important stats to predicting future success are allowed catch rate and "playmaking" (combined interceptions and pass deflections), and Ward excels at both. -Allowed catch rate: 35% (best in any of the past three drafts) -Playmaking: 14 combined interceptions and pass deflections on 57 targets (fifth best in the draft) Ward also can play against taller receivers. This has been the big concern but I think it is flawed. Against receivers taller than 6’1 (38 attempts this year) he allowed 32.4% completion percentage, 131 yards, and 1 TD; while also having FOUR interceptions.

I have already ordered one from the Browns store They don't ship until the number is revealed. It's kind of fun getting into the Browns again. I always pulled for them but life really got in the way for awhile. Now that I am back and following the NFL closely, and going to watch football every Sunday, I feel like I needed a Browns jersey. I wasn't sure who to get after Joe Thomas retired. Browns drafting Ward answered my dilemma! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
