Thats all pretty damn close to what I got though I haven't made a 1st round mock yet, Though I think Brandin Cooks lands in Philly and Roby lands with the Jets and the Browns taking a rb with there 2nd pick and Clowney going to the Falcons

The only problem I have is Cleveland trading down twice. First they have a lot of picks, 5 of them in the top #83, and a total of ten. This is an incredibly deep draft, so you could argue trading down if they plan to use the extra picks is a good idea. My thought though is with those first 5 picks, you can make some real impact now, and they need to. Cleveland is losing its fanbase with all the questionable moves by management. What do you think fans will say if they trade back, miss on picks they wanted and could have had, for more picks that may come next year. They need an impact draft NOW, or you are going to see more fans fleeing and comparing the front office to the three stooges.

That's true but they don't have a really good WR.  Bowe seems like he's declining and Avery is more of a #3 WR.  Maybe they'll go OL in Round 1 and WR in Round 2.

With a QB like Alex Smith you don't need really good WRs. All their WRs have to do is run short routes and have good hands OR run long long routes to open up the field for the RBs or the TEs.

 

Having said that, I agree they should address the line or get prepared for a regressing season by Alex Smith.

 

Having said THAT, I think they can wait until the second round and later for their run at fixing the Oline. I could see them drafting a promising TE to really ensure that Smith continues on the upward trend in Andy Reid's system.

Cleveland trades #4 pick to Vikings

Dallas trades #16 pick to 49ers

Browns trade #26 pick to Raiders

 

 

A couple of things.

 

1.If we take Carr over Bortles and Manziel I will puke.

 

2. David Yankey isn't a 2nd round pick much less a 1st. I wouldn't take Yankey in the first 3 rounds. 

 

3. If Minnesota offered anything less than their 1st round pick next year I would tell them to stuff it. There are 4 maybe 5 elite prospects and trading out of that spot for David errr Derek Carr would be a colossal mistake. 

 

 

The Browns already have 11 draft picks, we do not need to be trading down. If anything we need to be moving up from 26!

 

Unless someone like Jacksonville gives us their 1st round pick in 2015 for our #26 spot, there is no reason for us to move down. I'd bet money, we would move up rather than down.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.

      You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.

      They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash.

      Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.
