Draft Day 2 : Official I don't remember yesterday thread.

[jonne99]

i completely forgot who we just picked at 37

[mattvan1]

Say what you want about Kiper, but when I hear "average athlete", that doesn't thrill me.

Stop watching ESPN and switch to NFL Network.

"Wins ugly"
"Great technique and angles"
"Really stepped up at the Senior Bowl"

Hey, might not be true but at least it's more positive than the WWL.

Meanwhile, Josh Cribbs does cartwheels knowing his agent can still demand WR money instead of just Punt Return money. Not sure which is worse - watching MoMass, Cribbs and Little break the huddle, or Oriel Cousins at RT.

Cousins at RT is worse. So actually a good pick, assuming the kid starts right away.

[skatingtripods]

Then again, some guy from MIDWESTERN STATE went before Glenn and Massie, so maybe there's more to it.

[FUDU]

Are we drafting a football team or a law firm.

Mitchell, Schwartz & ________?

ESPN is fucking disgusting shithead network that employs assholes and other assorted people i'd like to see fed to bears. Mother fucking scum sucking asshole network. I hate them all. A worthless pile of shitsucking anal cysts that push their own cunty agenda.

Draft Strategy 101 for Cleveland....Give 3 seemingly insignificant picks to move up one place and assure you get what most observers believe to be superb running back, then with first pick on second day, draft OT whose biggest downside, according to most of those same observers, is a glaring inability to run block. "WINNING!"

Thanks MV, I don't get NFL network at work so appreciate hearing the other side of the coin.

Can I take a min to point out again what a miserable, money-grubbing whore Rodger Goddell is for changing the draft format?

[jonne99]

great call on the nfl network change...so much more listenable

NFL Network guys said just the opposite - very good run blocker, weaker in pass pro. It's actually the pick I am most happy about.

P.S. I am still relatively sober, so I hope I am not confusing anyone with my sunny disposition and positive outlook.

[skatingtripods]

My big issue is how tested can Schwartz be in the Pac-12?

SEC keeps churning out first and second round DL left and right. Would, inherently, think that a SEC OT would be more battle tested.

Guess Schwartz does have a brother who has spent 5 years in the NFL.

Really?

Be honest. Do you know anything, anything at all, about Schwartz? Other than Kiper had him rated a little bit lower than he was selected?

More DUI revenue with this format.

[motherscratcher]

Yeah, I've been on NFL Network. I avoid ESPN unless I absolutely cannot.

It's actually pretty easy to avoid those douchefarts.

[motherscratcher]

Pro Football Weekly had Schwartz as the #1 RT in the draft.

[FUDU]

Wesley Walker, LMAO, didn't I bring him up yesterday?

A couple more Makers Mark and I'll be back to my usual depressing cynical self, but according to the talking heads on NFLN, the kid acquitted himself well at the Senior Bowl, blocking those SEC studs. Not a full season's worth of experience, but apparently he was drafted based on a good week of practice.

BTW, I really hope no one is actually listening to Mel Kiper and believing anything that hack says. That would be like listening to CDT about pizza.

[Madre Hill, Superstar]

Who does his intro: Joe Don Baker or Mel Brooks?

[dpdad]

call me bitter, but why the fuck did matt stover get to announce that pick without the added aside of "the ravens did not draft me"??

My exact feelings also. That really pissed me off to see Matt Stover, whom the Browns drafted in 1990, announcing the Ravens pick.

[skatingtripods]

Pro Football Weekly had Schwartz as the #1 RT in the draft.

Sounds comforting anyway.

Like I said, a guy from Midwestern State went in front of Glenn and Massie. So, yeah, there has to be more to it with those guys.

NFL Network made it sound like Glenn was a future guard, so if Schwartz projects better as a tackle, that's fine.

<---- Now wishes he had NFLN.

[scrambler]

I've made my peace with the Richardson pick. He'll be fine. I like Weeden. I don't think anyone here has a freaking clue about the talent level of Schwartz. We need help there and we drafted a guy to play there.

[skatingtripods]

Wesley Walker, LMAO, didn't I bring him up yesterday?

Yes you did. As the one-eyed wonder at WR.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Some solid WRs still out there.

A RT is a good thing, seeing how we had NOTHING there.

Yeah. When I heard them say that I was glad we went with someone else.

At 345 it does seem unlikely hGlenn would be quick enough to not have to move inside in the NFL.

Agree wholeheartedly.

But, at this point it's damn near impossible to seperated the "piss and moan" out of the typical Browns fan.

[jonne99]

i don't think the browns drafted him, but i agree that any ex brown should be forced to eat shit before announcing the pick if they associate w/ the ravens

[jonne99]

browns will trade back into late 2nd to pick up a wr or hopefully a fullback to replace that waste of a pick on a fullback last year

[FUDU]

I thought that was a good pick last year, what was his name?

[CleSportsTruth]

Alshon Jeffrey? Before Randle? OK Bears.

I'm fine w/ Schwartz. Played both LT & RT. Solid it seems. Now, I'd find a way to move back in for Randle.

Marecic, and no, he sucked. Not that I care in the WCO.

[FUDU]

LOL, I was kidding around.

So, any chance LaMichael James is ours?

[Ziner]

That commercial with Katy Perry could have been awesome. Whatever company fucked that up should be terminated.


Picking a RT is so lame but sooooo necessary.

[CleSportsTruth]

When you already *claim* to have a 3rd down pick (Jackson), I doubt it. Not that I'd count on a guy who was out all yr...

Why do you have a pic of some 30 year old red headed dude as your avatar?

Ought to change it to this one:

[mattvan1]

well, at least we know he's patriotic. Don't we????

[scrambler]

the only thing I've learned in this draft is just how big a moron Ron zook is. He's playing in the big 10 with alabama level talent and can't win a game.

[Ziner]

That picture makes me laugh and cry every time I look at it. Half torture half entertainment.

That, ladies and gentleman, is the man who will take us to the 8-8 promised land!!!!

[Cerebral_DownTime]

I wonder what the dog is looking at.

[skatingtripods]

Mildly shocked to see Pead go before Miller.

[FUDU]

"This has been my guy"....every 10 minutes from Gruden. GFY cliche boy.

CDT, the dog does look to be saying "OMG"

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Fixxxed.

[mattvan1]

Mother,

How is it that out of all the guys that went to Eric Wright's Place last night, you are the only one man enuff to post during round 2? JB, Peeks, Hiko, Pup - all AWOL?

Maybe they're partying with Janoris Jenkins?

Peek is at a soccer game.

They say he threw a 97 mph fastball. I like that kind of arm on our quarterback.

That you did. Because I ate half of that basket of fries. Sorry. They were addicting.

Well, Peeker's at a soccer game (allegedly)

Hiko and JB stayed together, so maybe their still getting to know each other inside and out, like has been said about Weeden and Blackmon.


FUDU was there too. And Tripods.

And possibly Rat Tail. It's not like I knew everyone in the entire bar.

[skatingtripods]

Nice bowtie, Eddie.
