He says he's not dropping Maurice Hurst until we learn more about his condition.

 

[Hardline]

Cleveland traded up one spot to take a player the colts would've for sure passed on.

 

[Idgit]

Lol, yeah. He probably had them protecting Allen from a team jumping them into that spot, though.

 

[Chuck 54]

I'd be happy with

• Rashaan Evans LB Alabama
  
• Will Hernandez G UTEP
  
• Isaiah Wynn G Georgia
  
• Ronnie Harrison S Alabama
  
• but my favorite DT down this low is Harrison Phillips, Stanford (this guy lived in backfields all season)

I think OG or DT can include a trade down unless we're infatuated with one guy. LB or S we probably need to scoop up at 19

 

[whateverman]

that would be a horrible first round. in that scenario I would rather take hernandez, wynn, or evans. but wasting a first rounder on another 3 tech when we have colling/irving(for now) and even crawford seems par for the course.

 

[cowboyec]

blah.
give me Wynn,Hernandez,Evans,Harrison or Hurst instead.

I somewhat agree, but:
Bryan is a significant upgrade over Collins
Irving is probably gone in this scenario
A lot of people think Bryan can slide out to strong side DE and wreak havoc too--which gives us even more versatility.

I wouldn't mind seeing a passing down DL of Lawrence-Bryan-Collins-Taco

Probably making the assumption other teams were bidding as well, to jump Cleveland

Pet Cat Alert!
19 seems high for him but at the same time, as many of us have discussed, 19 also feels like no-man's land in this draft.

If you have a list that long, it looks like a trade down would be ideal.

 

[DFWJC]

These guys are funny, overreacting to combine stuff.
He has now DJ Chark jumping ahead of Sutton, Moore, and Kirk?
Not that I don't like Chark later. He has real upside.

Yes I was raving about him early on in the the past football season and would be happy to get him. However as you say, seems a little high for him.
I think BPA combined with need would put Wynn above him in that spot.

But I also think that in a year or so nobody would complain where we took him. I think he will be a very good player.

 

[texbumthelife]

When we were able to get pressure this season, we were a different team. As the old adage goes, you can never have too many pass rushers. Sign me up.

 

[MrPhil]

He left Payne out of the first round? Not buying that personally....

But we beat the Eagles. That means something right?

 

[Teague31]

He has the Saints taking Gesicki at 27. I got him for the Saints at 91 in the Kiper Invitational.

 

[Sydla]

Ehhh. Kid has talent for sure. But if taking this kid means Collins is now the starting 1 Tech........... ugh.

Now if we actually go out and get a legit 1 Tech. Great.

 

[Hailmary]

If it plays out this way, I definitely trade down to a team that needs a QB. Might be a good trade up opportunity for a team that's in love with Lamar Jackson.

 

[conner01]

Well it is the Browns
