Or should I say, what separates them from him? That's a weird question man because having one hand is a pretty major disadvantage. Big ups to him tho.

BleedTheClock Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 4th round pick? Absolutely. We absolutely need linebacker and DE depth. Griffin can play MLB, WLB, SLB, and weak side RDE. Hell to the yes. He's a perfect fit for our defense. I wouldn't pull the trigger this early, but I'd be ok with him going at the back end of R2 to us because he's such a great fit.

He lost his hand at a very early age so he simply learned how to work around it - would be a different story if he lost it much later. So to me, a WLB with good instincts and 4.3 speed? YUP And a definite fan favorite for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie's Curls Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Ok, I'm in...pending a trade down that nets us a 3rd. I still don't want him in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I think the mid-3rd is a perfect range for him to go. I think teams are not willing to take the gamble with his hand in the first 2 rounds but as soon as that 3rd round opens up it will be fair game. Teams are still businesses and to spend a 2nd rounder on a guy with a legit disadvantage I think would be risky. But Middle 3rd seems like a perfect spot considering he is a really good player.

Kiwibrown Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If we could get him, sit a year and then move on from Collins in a year or two. Collins has a big contract and we may need cap room soon. we would need someone to Strong side though and he gets pushed off the line pretty easily. I don't think Kirksey is that guy.

He will be playing against a lot better talent but I'd be cool taking a flyer on him in the 4th. Easy to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need are good players, regardless of position. If Griffin is the highest rated player on the board, take him. This. Absolutely this. Every time.

Aztec Hammer Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Playing with one hand means he has had to have elite athleticism and instincts to make up for it. As well as elite levels of determination, passion and commitment. Sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawgdish Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Get a guy with that kind of speed, instincts, and motor in the 4th round? I'll take it all day, every day. He'd also be a heck of a guy to root for and represent the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
