Scoundrel Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Happy with today. Wasn’t sure at first with the Javonte trade up but this round makes it all okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ-x Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 A friend of mine had a 1st round grade on Browning. I’ve never watched him. Talent wise he’s arguably the most gifted LB in the draft from what I’ve read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 That guy looks quick for his size I love how our team is starting to get an identity that was my biggest pet peeves last year. Paton is hitting this draft out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risner hasn’t lived up to the selection and Cushenberry was the worst OC in football last year. Risner just gets beat physically way too often for an IOL guy and Cushenbery, uncovered, is a disaster.

Cutler06 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Player wise , I like the guys we've picked up, not what I expected but talent-wise we are a better team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockWorkOrange Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Baron Browning.. 331/2 arms (92%)... I think they are building length like I said before... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent wise he’s arguably the most gifted LB in the draft from what I’ve read. He is, but his tape doesn't match. His instincts aren't there yet. Playing on the OSU D, he didn't make nearly as many plays as you'd expect. But he's so gifted physically, you'd hope this is something Fangio can coach up. Think of him as the polar opposite of Jewell - the tools are off the charts, whereas Jewell's physical limitations cap his ceiling. You'd have an All-Pro if you had Jewell's in-between-ears skills and Browning's toolset. While it's true that skills > tools, you need special tools to be an elite ILB. If he had the skills to match the tools, he'd have gone Rd1. So the juice is worth the squeeze here. Hopefully Fangio can coach up the skill side.

Meinerz has 33” arms also same as Slater and Cosmi. Good size for inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent wise he’s arguably the most gifted LB in the draft from what I’ve read. Hiiiii. OSU fan here. Browning is great. I believe he was a 5* LB commit and played for a while. His biggest strength is that he is a physical freak at LB. He is like a hybrid OLB, MLB and EDGE. Another positive is that he played his best ball in the biggest games. Im talking the Big10 Championship, Michigan and the Playoffs--he always showed up as a playmaker on the biggest stage. Big time playmaker Now to the negatives. He is so 'see ball get ball' and hungry to make plays, he often over runs the play or overpersues looking to knock somebody out in the backfield. He goes for the big play too often and sometimes it gets him burned. Your never going to not know he is on the field. He jumps off the tape a lot. For good and bad. Needs to learn to process the plays better and be ahead of the play, not falling into the fake Edited May 1, 2021 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Browning was much-discussed as an option for the Broncos at 40. I wouldn't have been crazy about it. At 105? Holy ******* ****. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The other part that merits consideration - if Browning's light doesn't come on as a classic 3-4 ILB, he's gifted enough, he could be a blitz-heavy ILB/EDGE hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
