2018 Draft Prospects Thread

[AZ_]

I'm happier than Jeff Sessions deporting a Mexican thinking about all the possibilities in the first two rounds this year.

lets hear some possibilities...not as familiar with this years class yet

Here is one guy you're going to hear me mention a bunch. Especially if the Browns continue to struggle getting consistent pressure from Ogbah on the left side.

Hercules Mata'afa

Arden Key can be put up there too. He is a beast. Either us or the Texans would have to be real bad to get him though.

All on the Barkley or Ridley train. Keep forgetting to check out Courtland Sutton.

Finally will get a chance to see him this week, pretty sure he's good to go against State.

That high step....wow

Yeah he looks like the real deal. He's also being targeted in the passing game and performing. If he stays healthy, he's top ten talent. What's his pass blocking ability like?

Still think this offense's biggest need is a big bodied possession WR but if there are no bonafide studs at the end of the year, Saquon definitely has that wow factor a la Bell & Zeke.

His pass blocking is...not great.

Let's conservatively project that we end up with pick number 5, Texans end up with number 10, and Eagles at 17.

That'd put us having #5, #10, #37, #42, #49, and #69.

Just a tool to show the kind of talent we could haul in a single draft, here's a Browns mini-mock. Imagine, based on where they are currently slated across varying draft sites (and of course, these are going to change greatly over the next 7 months), that we could realistically end up with something like this:

#5 - Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State (top RB)--5'11, 223 lbs
#10 - Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State (top CB) -- 6'2, 198 lbs
#37 - Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame -- 6'5, 204 lbs
#42 - Cameron Smith, ILB, USC -- 6'2, 245 lbs
#49 - Dre'Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State -- 6'3, 295 lbs
#69 - Ronnie Harrison, SS, Alabama -- 6'3, 214 lbs

That's addressing so many needs, it's unbelievable. A big, fast WR to pair perfectly opposite of a developing Corey Coleman. Our young tight ends continuing to develop. A stud RB with superstar potential. A top corner with size and range. A 3-technique who not only shuts down the run, but can get after the QB. A big SS to pair with FS Peppers for Gregg's defense that has size, range, and brings the boom. Cameron Smith, a stud middle linebacker for our 4-3. Maybe we decide to go OT in there at the early second, someone to make Coleman more of a depth player who could eventually shift to LT after Joe's days are behind him--a guy like Orlando Brown, 6'8, 360 lbs out of Oklahoma.

There are so many possibilities. Let's hope Kizer is the guy. The holes we can fill on this roster are just ludicrous. Never mind what we could do AFTER round 3 with depth players and taking shots on guys with histories.

Courtland Sutton from SMU is a huge strong target that is very hard to tackle in the open field. I don't think he has the speed of Mike Evans at all but he has the size, leaping ability and aggressiveness of a stud WR. Interesting to hear what the board thinks.

I haven't seen a ton of him but he is intriguing. Need to make more of an effort to watch SMU so I can see something outside of highlight films.

Love those picks if we kept all of them. But I think the more likely scenario is trading down from 5 for some team that wants a quarterback. Grab a first rounder a bit further down, then another first rounder for 2019.

It's what this FO does, and really pays off on the long run. And crap, imagine if the haul if we end up with a pick in the top 1-2....

 

[Pick6]

Assuming we don't need QB, I am hoping one of the picks are high enough where we can take another team behind the woodshed for their draft assets so that we are set up for years to come.
