2018 NFL Draft Thread

[SuperMario]

There’s nearly a zero percent chance the Browns take Barkley at 1. They will take a qb and either Chubb or Fitz at 4 depending on what happens at the #2 spot.

#1 will be Darnold or the flag planting sooner.

more I think about it, I think Browns should take Chubb first. He's the best pass rusher in this draft. 6'4+, 268 lbs and ran 4.65 at the combine. That's booking it for a guy his size. Pair him with Myles Garrett and you've got the foundation for a terrorizing DL for years to come. In the NFL you need an elite QB or an elite pass rush to win it all. Having both is obviously ideal but not realistic unless you get lucky in the draft.
Browns should take Chubb 1st, then the best player available at the 4th pick. I think Rosen is more of a sure thing than Darnold or Mayfield, but he refuses to go to Cleveland. Can't say I blame him. Between Darnold and Mayfield, I think I'd take Darnold. Probably a safer pick. The bust potential is really high with Mayfield imo.

I'd be stunned if Key and Chark from LSU aren't drafted appreciably higher than you have them.

TRADES:

Browns trade 6th round pick (#175) to 49ers for 6th Round pick (#184) and 7th Round pick (#223)

[rolltidefan]

outside of fitz #4 to browns, would love this mock for bama players.

for browns, they need to drop back and rack up picks with both top5 picks, imo. unless the want to take chubb at 4 (if they can). they need so much, 1/2 players aren't going to make them a contender. they need more solid foundation to build on.

[MrNubbz]

RTF - Browns fans have been saying that for quite some time.Problem was the former GM's ended up screwing up 4 draft picks instead of two.But like moths to a flame we stay dialed in.Law of averages says John Dorsey will get us off the mat.Wavering like hell on Huey however

[OrangeAfroMan]

I'm doubtful anyone will take a flyer on Antonio Callaway WR Florida.  Hasn't played in a year and had issues before the credit fraud thing.  Maybe if he was another Randy Moss or something, but he's not.  He's good/not great.

[rook119]

-Even if they have to reach into the 3rd round to get him, I'd love to see the steelers to forgo an ILB in round and grab Shaquem Griffin. He's the closest thing to Shazier in the draft. ILBs always a year of seasoning anyway, might as well get the arguably the best athlete in the draft in a position you need. 

-granted it was only the Sr. bowl where I watched him but Lauletta (QB Richmond) looks like he could be quite good. 

-Brian O'Neill in the 3rd-4th is a steal. He's going to be good pro for 10-12 years.

-other Pitt player Jordan Whitehead could potentially be a star. he had the talent to be an all-american safety but never really blossomed there. kind of a weird player, he was arguably Pitt's best player on offense last year. 

-I also think Lazard (WR ISU) can be a really good player. sure he doesn't get much (any?) seperation but despite that no one could stop him

[rook119]

Tell you what, I'd rather have Lamar Jackson in the middle or late 1st than one of the other QB's early. I think Rosen will be the best of the bunch and he's most ready to plug and play. I question Mayfield's size and maturity, not his game. I think his game translates a lot better to the next level than Johnny Foosballs ever did. Mayfield can really play. It's everything else you question. Whoever takes Josh Allen high is just an idiot buying into hype IMO. Darnold seems to me like Andrew Luck light. Not quite as good and the ceiling isn't quite as high as Luck but he also comes with a little bit of turnover-itis like Luck did.
I think the only QB I'd take in the 1st is Rosen. He's as close to a sure thing as there is in this draft. If I'm spending a high 1st round pick at QB, I want to be sure. Jackson probably has the highest upside just based on his freakish athletic ability and his cannon arm.

If Lamar learns to run correctly yea he's the best QB in the IMO. By correctly I mean don't be fearless (like RG3), run and scramble like Russel Wilson. One of the main reasons why Russel rarely gets hurt despite his size and playing behind one of the worst OLs in NFL history is because defenders rarely/never get a clean shot on him.

The Browns have now signaled that they are interested in every single QB. Unless their front office is totally clueless (not a stretch) plus given that the current front offices MO is stockpiling picks, they already know who they are taking and want to trade the #4.

You do know that Sashi Brown (the one known for accumulating draft picks) is no longer the GM and the John Dorsey is now the GM and is NOT known for stockpiling picks.

Too bad for him too.  It's a weak WR crop, he could have been the first one taken.
