What's a unique/hot draft take that you hold to?
BarleyNY replied to whatdrought's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s a terrible draft to find a starting 4-3 DE, unless you are Washington. -
Jay Glazer: I will break big, national news tomorrow
BarleyNY replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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.

Browns to introduce new uniforms at 12:00 pm
BarleyNY replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. To that point: https://twitter.com/rapsheet/status/1250482329170083846?s=21

My pick for the 2nd round - Jonathan Taylor
BarleyNY replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -

BarleyNY replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Kiper Mock 4.0 - Bills take Okwara at 54
BarleyNY replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Report - Browns in discussion with Vikings on OBJ trade
BarleyNY replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Report - Browns in discussion with Vikings on OBJ trade
BarleyNY replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Jay Glazer: I will break big, national news tomorrow
BarleyNY replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I dunno. I can’t imagine that it’s anything significant. -
Jay Glazer: I will break big, national news tomorrow
BarleyNY replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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.

BarleyNY replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Jay Glazer: I will break big, national news tomorrow
BarleyNY replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Clowney has made a decision? Might be something along those lines. Time for situations like that, Trent Williams and Nigel Bradham to resolve. Crunch time for the draft is almost upon us. -

Certainly would not announce that before the draft. No need to take any steam away from that. -
Kiper Mock 4.0 - Bills take Okwara at 54
BarleyNY replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His Combine performance really showed off his athleticism issues. 15th percentile SPARQ score (17th adjusted SPARQ). I find it difficult to believe that teams ever considered him a first round prospect. He looks slow on tape. Even on his highlights he doesn’t look fast, regardless of the competition. After seeing that I wanted no part of him at 22. I don’t know if I’m all that interested at 54 either. He’s so strong, but he’s just not quick at all. He’d be a great DE to have to set the edge, but I don’t know how much of a pass rush he’ll give in the NFL. -
So it’s pronounced “Eva”?
