NFL Draft

[Clip-Clop]

I think Lacy could be a steal in this draft. Hoping he finds his way to Denver, our backs can be good but neither has both knees.

Of the Quarterbacks I watched on Youtube ... Ryan Nassib of Syracuse is the best one.

He was surrounded by extremely mediocre pass catchers -- they dropped about 10 passes in the USC game alone -- and the offensive line at Syracuse was mediocre, especially up the middle. The USC game was comical, they made the center and guards at Syracuse look like three turnstiles.

Geno Smith throws all short passes -- and he has two absolutely killer wonder midgets catching his screens in Tavon Austin and Bailey. The O-line at West Virginia looked pretty good, but it's hard to tell because they only had to block for 0.87 seconds before Geno got rid of one of his typical 5 yard passes.

I'm high on DJ Hayden, the corner from Houston, and DeAndre Hopkins, the wideout from Clemson. Both will be solid players imo. Hopefully the Birds get it right and trade down to accrue more picks. For what the draft lacks in star power, it surely makes up for in depth.

The so-called rumors have a lot of teams looking to trade down.

Mayock has Geno going to the Browns with the 6th overall pick. Sounds about right for the Browns draft day acumen. Austin and Bailey punched up his stats - I don't see him as a huge impact QB in the NFL and definitely not a top 10. Also can't believe they would give up on Weeden after just 1 year.

Espn had a stat where Geno threw a ton of short passes which helped pad his stats. From the few times I saw him play he misses a ton of open recievers down field. I think he will struggle in the NFL because he us not accurate enough.

It seems like the Jets take either a cornerback or a defensive tackle with their first pick every year.

The Browns are totally obsessed with pass-rushers right now. I suppose their goal is to try and lead the NFL in quarterback hurries and sacks next year. They spent an absolute fortune on pass rushers in free agency ... and they ignored a great many of areas of need to take LSU rotational pass rusher Barkevious Mingo with the #6 pick.

Barkevious does have the perfect name for the Dawg Pound.

That he does!

Cleveland might go and trade for Ryan Mallet today. Bellichick is holding him hostage for a 2nd round pick... we will see if he waivers.
