Nice. Met with him at his Pro Day as well. Zero to slim chance he is there at 25. Maybe a target in the rumored 16-20 range if he slips which I doubt as well.

If I had to make an educated guess, it's pretty safe to assume that atleast 24 players won't be avaliable when we pick at 25.

Only guy I would feel comfortable about trading up for. IF the price is right of course.

You should make a thread about that. Devante will be one of those 24.

I know this is a deep WR class, but IMO Cooper, White, Parker, and Strong are the clear cream of the crop.  After you get past those four, everyone has serious concerns.  Hands, level of competition, whatever. I'd feel very comfortable with either Parker or Strong in the 1st.

I'd give it a 10% chance he falls to 25. It's worth doing the diligence in case he falls. I think we've met or plan to meet with just about every single prospect ranked from 10-40

With the two 5th round compensatory picks in pocket, I could see us potentially trading up a few spots if the right guy begins to slip.  Compensatory picks can't be traded, but it can make you feel a little more comfortable with parting with other picks.

 

Not sure about trading up into the 16-20 range though.  That would get rather costly.  It would probably take our 1st and 2nd round picks to get up to 16.  1st and 3rd could potentially get us up to 20.  1st and 4th could potentially bump us up a couple of spots if need be to secure the guy we really want.

Would not trade up for.

I could see us trading up to 22 to get ahead of the Lions if there is an OT Gettleman really likes. They have a pretty big need there and the Steelers are usually amenable to trading down. Our 1st and 4th is probably close to enough in value to make the deal, maybe toss in the 6th or 7th if he has to.

 

Cleveland had to give up a 1st and 3rd to get from 26 to 22 last year though so that could potentially stall a deal.

Is there anyone in the draft you would?

Damn, I forgot the Browns actually traded up to get Manziel.  They did the same thing with Brady Quinn back in '07.  It's safe to say that if the Browns trade into the #22 overall spot, they're gonna take a QB and he's gonna be a bust.  Brett Hundley, where you at?  LOL!

[EMSMedic79]

He would make an awesome #2 WR.
