Some notes from my source

Being from a Chi town sports fam, I frequent this board and there's a guy who usually has sources saying they've met with Kizer 4 times

What an out of nowhere pick that would be.

I would cry tears of pure joy. That would be INCREDIBLE

If that's true, then McCaffrey ain't the pick, not even Fournette. If Adams or Thomas falls...

From what Jeremy has said it seems like Fournette might be number two on the Panthers board right behind Garrett. Though I personally prefer Adams and Thomas over Fournette

I would guess a smokescreen as well, I was pretty convinced they go Hooker or Adams.

Well what do you think John Fox values? Does he value a safety that much?

If I remember, the Bears got a solid safety from free agency. Might be the reason why.

If 2 or 3 QBs go, that gives us a likely shot at a solid prospect.

IF this talk of three QBs potentially in the top 10 is accurate - and I think that's a big "if" - it gives credibility to the reports that the Browns are torn between Garrett and Trubisky. I'm sure they see Garrett as the top talent in he draft, but they've desperately needed a QB for decades now. If you're not going to have a shot at one at #12 or a reasonable trade up (like to #8 for instance), then you have to seriously consider taking that QB at #1. Look at the Texans with JJ Watt. Probably the most dominant DE since Reggie White and they've got nothing to show for his career because they don't have a QB.

Very good points. It worked with us with Cam. Many scouts said he was good but shouldn't be number 1. Many pundits said we should have taken Miller or Dareus and get a veteran Qb. We went with Cam and he's made us great. 

I posted earlier that one douche nozzle on ESPN swears that the browns are going Watson number 1. Who knows if it's true or not. I think teams are starting to realize they need a qb.

Just to play devil's advocate. The Broncos picked Miller, got a veteran qb and won a super bowl with 4 consecutive 12+ win seasons.

Perine is nowhere close to Fournette's league. 

Not suggesting that. I'm suggesting Leonard might not be that effective here this season and might get damaged before we build the type of system he needs. I don't see him as a slam dunk with who we have and what we do. You can invest much less in a battering ram if that's what you want.

    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
