He tested well both physically and mentally. A year under Kirk should do him some good. Plus having JJ, Hock, and Addison will help a ton as well.
Yeah, when it gets to these late rounds, what’s the difference if I cut some guys I’m unfamiliar with or Browns players? Might as well show them some love in the short term, l.
With no first rounder, I’m pretty happy with how my draft ended up. I only got sniped once and it was in the 8th. 2(10) Jonathan Mingo, WR, Panthers 3(10) Luke Schoonmaker, TE, Cowboys 4(10) Zack Kuntz, TE, Jets 5(10) Kayshon Boutte, WR, Patriots 6(10) Trenton Simpson, LB, Ravens 8(10) Richie Grant, DB, Falcons 9(10) Tyler Scott, WR, Bears 10(10) Myles Murphy, EDR, Bengals

I like Zappe better than Mac so I was eying him too. If I needed more QB depth I would have looked his way for sure.

Trash-Talkers Draft (Completed): 2.9 Jalin Hyatt - WR 4.9 Cole Holcomb - LB 5.8 DeWayne McBride - RB 6.9 D.J. Chark - WR 7.9 Chris Evans - RB 9.9 Troy Andersen - LB 10.8 Nick Scott - S 10.9 Noah Gray - TE — 3.9 (+2024 2nd) — Allen Lazard (+5.8) Love adding the pick next year. Took a couple upside swings at RB if available touches turn into opportunity. Couple potential starting option swings at WR. Wanted to add potential starters at LB. Edit: Fun fact; I drafted more vets than rookies. But that’s a bit easier to justify when only picking once in the top 40 picks.
I also gave up a 3rd next year. Not sure if I would've gotten Young regardless or not. @Minnow @Willie were you taking Hooker/Stroud regardless? Don't have to answer if you want to keep your cards close for future drafts.
Ill be honest here. Young never crossed my mind, Im just not real high on him at all. Richardson and Stroud were both tied at the tops of my wish list... imo, those 2 have better NFL credentials/potentials, sounds crazy, but thats just how i feel. When I traded back with, Tim and he snagged Richardson, I didnt panic, but also knew, Stroud wasnt falling to 12, so I hit the phones, lol and my intention was to trade up and snag Stroud then, but when Addison was there I went into a hizzy and couldnt make up my mind. After some time contemplating I picked Addison and thought, well maybe I'll go Hooker or someone else in that range. Low and behold, Stroud fell to 12 and I lucked out and got both my guys. So, in hindsight, I did ok, but luck was also on my side as I mentioned, i never thought Stroud would fall to 12.
Yo You guys skipped @RicoL8 at the 10.7 Rico, you are on the clock. If you had targeted any player that has been taken since your pick, you may still select them.
