I’ll take a stab at the Browns 3 picks. Without question a CB and an ILB will be selected. I’ll go with the kid from Kent State, Jack Williams. Savage has talked about him a few times, and that is good enough for me to think that they are looking at him with the 4th round selection. Beau Bell from UNLV is the LB they will go with. The other pick? probably a DT or DE. We’ll say Tommy Blake, TCU.
At the time of the writing, I had not recieved the picks from Stripe Hype, or the Phinsider.

A lot of surprises thus far… I’ve never really looked forward to the second day before
I like Pittsburgh’s picks today. I like Mendenhall in his support role to Parker, and Sweed would be a better fit on other teams, but looks to be a 3rd down/slot receiver for the Steelers.
Baltimore, wow. I am not a Flacco fan from the competitive point of view, and think he is a shell of Derek Anderson at best. Rice is a good fit for their running game, but they have so many other needs, it’s hard to say this is one time where taking value was a good idea. I said before I was in favor of letting Troy Smith take it for a year. Can’t wait to see who plays QB for them this year.
Do you think that Pittsburgh can get quality O-lineman in the 3rd and on? Isn’t that thier biggest need? Maybe they want Roethlisberger getting hit on every other play next year too…
As for B-more, I thought Smith was great at the OSU, why arent they giving him a real shot? I understand that they needed a 3rd QB but that could have been picked up later in the draft.
I think Cincy made a great choice in Rivers. He will help thier ailing defense, but I think Jerome Simpson surprised many, they must have seen something they really liked…
