Trade Alert Browns send picks 10 and 41 to the Chargers for picks 6 and 151. With the 6th pick they select Jeff Okudah, CB Ohio State

If I’m reading the rules correctly since the LAC have a pick worth 1600 points they’d need to get a value of 1760 back to have the trade approved. Is that correct?

I’m not a Haskins fan at all (and I’m a lifelong Buckeyes fan). Tua to Washington makes a lot of sense to me. Get your QB.

Looking for some DL or CB help no doubt. I can see them moving up with Cleveland if there isn’t an OT the Browns like there.

Nope. No changes to tags. Tre is smart to wait. He’s gonna get paid large. By the Bills.

It’s a terrible draft to find a starting 4-3 DE, unless you are Washington.

Minutes away. Can you feel the tension?

Most people consider it a pretty big insult to call out people as fanboys. It means that they are such fans of a player or team that they’re not rational about them. Maybe you didn’t mean it that way, but that’s how it comes off. It’s certainly not something someone call people if they thought they were being reasonable and had a reasonable take.

That’s ridiculous. Just a bunch of people pretending that he said something wrong (for whatever reason) and jumping all over him while a bunch of others point out that he didn’t actually say what he’s accused of.

Agreed. Bucs losing the LED alarm clock numbers was a huge upgrade. Browns going old school is a definite upgrade. Falcons look like an XFL uni.

The top 4 OTs are in different orders on different teams’ boards, depending on scheme, preference and appetite for risk. None of them are perfect prospects. He’s not the most athletic of the bunch, but his floor should be fairly high. It really depends on what a team is looking for.

I don’t know what Jack Kemp has to do with this. But did he still make his home in California when he played here?

Josh is a California boy. He grew up there, he trains there and he chooses to make his home there in the offseason. But don’t let that detract from your narrative.

That monster..... The networks could add crowd noise to the broadcasts like they do with golf and bird chirps and songs.

Real fumbling issues in college. That scares me. Not a fan of his lack of experience as a receiver out of the backfield either. I don’t mind the mileage he has on him because not giving a RB a second contract is just fine by me and he is a really good runner. But he’s a RB that gets better and better with more carries. I don’t know that he’d get that here splitting with Singletary. I’d rather have a back that can be productive as a receiver as well as a runner - and holds onto the ball.

Removed “Browns” from pants, eliminated orange jerseys and pants (though orange pants could be considered old school) and changed striping, numbers and socks to more old school look. Too true! Unless new unis are hideous or replacing ones that were hideous, I’m surprised anyone actually cares. I mean, it’s the offseason and I get that nothing is going on, but still.

I just watched the Auburn game film of him. I can see your point. What are you seeing? It is not by any chance shades of Barkevious Mingo, is it? Also I think he’d be better off as a 3-4 OLB than a 4-3 DE.

Me too. It looks like what the Browns should be wearing. Now was definitely not the time to try something new again.

OBJ is set to make about $3M more per year for the next 4 years than Diggs is. Injured in 2017, crap teams the last two seasons and played with an injury all last season. He still broke 1k the last two seasons, but you’re probably right that the Browns wouldn’t exactly be selling high right now. It really wouldn’t make any sense for them to try and trade him for less than a first plus and if they’re not getting that then why trade him? Healthy and in a decent offense he’s a top 5 WR. They’re way better off seeing if he can become that again. Absolutely correct on the Browns going LT very early. Beyond any offensive scheme considerations, there’s a gaping hole there right now. Unless Washington comes around on compensation for Trent Williams and they get a deal done there, it’ll be OT either at 10 or with a trade back. The only other stop gap available to them is Jason Peters and they’d still have to draft someone early to take over when he gets injured again.

Not happening for that, especially considering what Diggs just netted in trade. As for Harris, he’d probably be a necessary component of any trade for a highly paid player. Minny could not fit a player like OBJ under their cap without dropping his salary in the process. The “source” is probably a mock draft (CBS?) that had OBJ to Minny for a future 2 & 5. Also the Browns have been trying to get a hold of Harris, but no dice thus far on that front.

Went back to a more traditional look. Basically a slightly updated version of what they used to be.

I dunno. I can’t imagine that it’s anything significant.

Good to know. My friend did say that if it was about a player that other people would have the info. (Guess I inferred the part about Glazer not having player contacts.) He said if Glazer was willing to sit on something for a whole day then it’s probably a league thing since he’d have access and others wouldn’t so he wouldn’t be worried that others would scoop him.

I usually start with Defensive DVOA. it is not perfect, but they do well to weed out a lot of noise and focus on what is meaningful. I like that they take the situation into account on each play. Too often yardage given up and points against are skewed by game situations like garbage time.

Someone I know who’s dialed to the NFL said that Glazer’s contacts are with the league, but not so much with players and agents. He has no idea what the announcement is. Should be league-related though. Possibly something like Goodell officially announcing that he’ll retire after the season, which would not exactly be breaking news.
