I'm a biased USC fan, but I can guarantee Sam Darnold goes top 5, and Ronald Jones is definitely a top 3-5 RB in this class (I'm not sure if you just forgot about him, or just don't like him) but he's a Jamaal Charles type runner.  Agree that Rosen is the most NFL ready and best pure classer in the class, and should go 1.  Darnold has been turnover prone but he was also playing with a backup offensive line all year and just tried to do too much.  I assume most have only watched his game against OSU, and that DL vs the USC OL was just brutal.  I just hope he goes to the right place, because he has so much talent he just needs a little grooming. He's a playmaker and natural leader. As far as Baker Mayfield, I really have no idea what to expect. 

I think the 3 QB's will be going top 5.

I wouldnt be against getting Chubb if we trade down a bit. There's no way he makes it all the way near the end of R2. 

Josh Adams, Royce Freeman , Bo Scarbrough, Rashaad Penny are the most realistic prospects for us, somewhere in round 3 or round 5. We could trade down with 1 of those 3rd rounders and pick up a couple 4ths and really do some damage.

I'm starting to feel convinced that this draft would be perfect to trade down in. Maybe even 2x . There's going to be a lot of talent stacked in the 2nd round and a few teams have multiple 2nd rounders that they'd be willing to part ways with to trade back into the first for pick 24. We could potentially have 3 second rounders and 2 3rd rounders . And even trade those 3rd rounders to have four 2nd rounders. 

Particularly theres going to be alot of RBs and WRs flying off the board in R2 and R3. Which is kinda bad for us since we have such low picks, unless we trade up or trade down. 

RBs I like the most right now are Guice, Penny, Chubb, Royce Freeman. .  I'd be happy to get any of those dudes in R2 or R3.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
