from what im hearing after trying to figure out why they fell.....  that the reason we passed on them was because while they are gifted they were no able to grasp concepts or retain information. Sometimes you look at players and we avoid them simply because they are not smart enough to run our system here.  Harrison is basically a LB playing safety. But the real issue he is immature and didnt take the interview process seriously, same goes for guice. Reid is a good player but he wasnt the best pick for us. We needed speed so we went and got speed. Point is teams nowadays teams dont care how gifted you are if you disrespect their process, they will pass over you.

Just sounds like Reid was too average in everything and the team is looking for either better strengths or better upside. The guy we got sounds like he has an attitude and his other skills seem to give him an ability to become a quality safety in time.

We can still get Eric Reid (who is the better brother anyway) if we want something more at safety.

We looked at both players closely and obviously didnt feel their value was worthy of the second round selection(or 3rd for Harrison). Thats the only thing that would make sense.

I truly believe that pretty simple our scouting team etc decided we can make Rashaan G into a beast he excels at the things we ask our safety's to do now needs to get up to speed.

Harrison is another Alabama DB that was projected to go high Bc of “Alabama”. I don’t know what Nick Saban do to his kids but they just tend to be JAG or bust in the NFL. Landon Collins turned out well. CJ Mosley is good but not great. 

 

And Eric Reid is probably the reason why we passed on Justin.

I was fine that we passed on both during the draft. But now I feel great about it.

      You know what's worse about the QB situation?

      I liked Sanders field reading abilities in general but his ceiling is fairly low and his shenanigans as a pro are, quite frankly, bizarre.  I don't think he is doing himself any favors by being a distraction while also being buried on the depth chart. Don't get me wrong, the media would attempt to make him a distraction regardless but it's not smart to feed into it when you aren't having a role at all. This can also be said of XL, BTW. We are no stranger to this. It's a lot easier to excuse Cam dressing like a deleted scene Harry Potter character at press conferences when he is looking like a man among boys on the football field.

      I hear Huddlers throwing things similar about Sanders whenever his name comes up, but to put it bluntly, we don't know that to be true. What we do know is that plenty of Browns fans thought that Sanders had the best camp out of the bunch, notwithstanding not being given the opportunity to play with the ones. What has been reported is that Dillon Gabriel is Stefanski's guy, and Andrew Berry thought that Sanders should be prioritized (even if it meant that he would eventually trade Sanders due to Sanders having more value). The fact that many Browns fans preferred (and prefer now) Sanders, and that there was a split---or difference of opinion between Stefanski and Berry, isn't really up for debate. It's true.  What this all means, at the end of the day, is that we don't know how Sanders compares to Hooker or anyone else because he really hasn't had an opportunity to play for whatever reasons.

      I don't think with a roster this bad we should be spamming picks at subpar QB's for development purposes. When the roster is a little more fleshed out, I would fully support that. Also, with our persistent evaluation problems, I can only imagine who we would have likely overdrafted in the past few years.
