Looking forward to 2019, Browns Free Agency/Trades

Garrett, Ogunjobi, Richardson, Vernon...I like it. Now let's get Devin White!

 

Richardson's career grades:



Pretty consistent.

 

Yes he is not going to make all pro, but he is going to give you consistent production.

 

That was the first thing that entered my mind....

I fear he will be gone early in the draft though...

 

When I watch him, I can't help but think of Ray Lewis. The way he just attacks the gaps and shuts it down is special. I would love if we could get White..

 

Vernon - Ogunjobi - Richardson - Garrett
Schobert - White - Avery

That's a potent front 7

 

Plus, Ogbah on the rotation...Then you add another Buckeye CB (Bradley Roby), and you go take down an AFCN Chamionship on the way to the SB.

 

You forgot Kirksey.

FYI: take a peek in the GMO and you'll see the same front 4 except Zeitler is still a Brown.

 

Well, here's the thing...

There will be 3 QBs that go in the top 15 picks, where they go is what will be important. Jacksonville has been taken off that market, so we can "guess" at the rest.

The Giants are taking a QB unless they trade for Rosen, which I don't think is happening. Then you have the Cardinals(if they trade Rosen), Broncos I believe are still in the market if one drops to them, even with the Flacco trade, Bengals, Dolphins, Redskins and possibly the Raiders.

I think the major players we are looking at are the Bengals, Dolphins and Redskins. Each of them would have to trade up to get the guy they want, so who are their trade partners?

The best case scenario is the Cardinals trade Rosen to someone. I could see this trade going down with the Redskins or Dolphins.

Cardinals take Kyler Murray ( I don't think this will ultimately happen, but it would be ideal for us)
Giants take Dwayne Haskins
Dolphins and Bengals wrestle with each other to get in position to get Drew Lock...

Cardinals - Murray
49ers - Nick Bosa
Jets - Josh Allen to complete the defensive overhaul
Raiders - This is the interesting pick...could it be a spot for a QB trade? I hope not... Let's go Quinnen Williams or Montez Sweat, doesn't matte as...
Buccaneers - This is almost a certainty, they will be drafting for pass rush. Either Montez Sweat or Quinnen Williams will be in Tampa
Giants - Dwayne Haskins

**Jacksonville Jaguars** I think this is where you need to target to get Devin White, the Lions took care of business on the first day of legal tampering and if White is available, I think he will be taken by the Lions.

What would it take to get up to #7 from #17?

Honestly, we will be fighting with the Bengals and Dolphins here, as they try to get their QB and the Jaguars already took care of that issue on a team ready for the playoffs.

So, you have to ask yourself, how much do you want this player?

According to the chart, it would take #17, #49 and #80 (or a 2020 2nd round pick).

So, you have to start asking what his worth is...as the other two teams are going to over value because they need a QB.

The Dolphins, if they are sold on Drew Lock, could offer #13, #48 and a future 2nd, which is better than our offer.

Would you be willing to do that, or even possibly go higher in order to ensure you get that player?

 

No I didn't, I just listed starters. I think Kirksey will get plenty of playing time in multiple positions, but I also think Schobert beats him out for the starting position. Avery is ready to bust out, which I believe is the reason Collins finds himself as a free agent.

Those 4 linebackers (with White) still aren't enough. There is work to do at the LB position.

 

Ogbah in rotation will help him, imho. He will be able to move inside and out and give him a new sense of freedom I think.

Roby would be a huge get if the rumors are true they are interested. Other AFC North teams also are rumored in him, so this would be a great signing.

Roby would actually make the draft a wide open option. You could go in any direction your heart desires and truly take the best option available.

 

I have a hard time believing the incumbent starter who's making $8 million would lose his spot to a rookie (White) or a second-year player who's better as a situational rusher than a WILL linebacker (Avery).

WILL - Kirksey
MIKE - Schobert
SAM - Devin Bush Jr. (no chance we get Devin White, who'll be a Top 10 pick)

 

Could be, we'll see

 

Top 10 picks should be exciting (aren't they always?) this year. I still have a very hard time wrapping my head around the Arizona franchise taking Kyler Murray. But everyone else seems convinced.

 

FTR: I'm okay with either Devin. Bush might be even more athletic.

 

Joe Schobert seeing dollar signs.

Schobert >>>>>> Mosley

 

Way ahead of you SAS

 

Damarious Randall also getting paid.

 

I was literally working on doing just that in the GMO when this report came out.
