Still waiting for PFFs 2019 Draft guide so went back and looked at what Brown's Drafted in first 3 rounds and what PFF rated them.
1st
1. Baker--was #1 rated QB and #1 on their big board
4. Ward--#9 on big board and #2 Corner--they had Jackson(Iowa) rated higher. Everything I've read so far this year is that no CB in draft this year is on same level as Ward.
--Chubb to Denver is probably only guy in 1st who I would switch with Ward and I'm not sure I would.
2nd
33. Corbett--#65 on big board and #3 under centers--they had him ranked as a center but thought he could be tackle
35. Chubb--#41 on big board and #4 at RB--behind Penny, Jones and Barkley but ahead of S. Michel
--Indy's 2 picks at 36/37 would of been a lot better the Corbett. All Pro LB and starting RT.
3rd
67. Thomas --#93 on big board and #12 for DE. Hubbard(DE), Reid(S), Warner(OLB) were still on board and all 3 had productive but not great 1st years.
3 future Pro Bowl, 1 starter/back up and 1 back up/cut Compared to most Brown's drafts this was a home run. Best comparison is with Indy--#6 Nelson, #36 Leonard, #37 Smith, #52 Turay, #64 Lewis. 2 future pro bowl, 1 starter and 2 starter/back ups
Very different draft for both because we needed a QB. I take Brown's draft today but could be interesting to see over the next 5 years if this holds up. Indy probably got better value with their picks and I think Cleveland could of also by trading down a little but who knows if Mayfield and Ward are there at 4 and 7.
