This clip doesnt have the 4th quarter so you have to watch the whole game film

Game times in the 4th:

12:50 he gets beat inside and his guy bats the ball down

10:28 he gets stood up at the line on a run behind him and the RB is tackled for a loss

7:14 he runs blocks and gets pushed into blocking his own guy

5:40 he gets blown up and his guy almost makes a tackle in the backfield on a run play to his side

4:02 complete whiffs on a pulling run block

2:42 gave up pressure on the outside

I never said he was a 2nd rounder

Sorry those are the times in the game during the 4th quarter

Agreed, but they both already had QBs.

Mayfield was in the Darnold category before competent coaching and better protection

Yeah that’s a fair point. They were running out of time with him.

Agreed. If Fields is there, take him. If we aren't going QB and the phone is ringing, at least listen.

I'm a huge UNC fan but Brown scares me. Dude's hands are VERY hit or miss and while he's fast he's not Ginn fast. The hands are comparable though. The more wide open he is the more likely the drop.

I'd take him or someone like Tylan Wallace

Mayfield broke the record for most TD passes thrown by a rookie. He had a down 2019 with Kitchens, but this narrative doesn't fit.

The competent coaching narrative does fit Baker has had a year and a half of it while Darnold none

Nah man you said multiple scouts had him as a day 2 pick.  Normally how this works is when you proclaim something like that you have to show your work.  Show me where multiple scouts had him round 2 preseason.

Here are 5 Way Too Early 2021 Mock Drafts from 2020 and none of them have Slater in the 1st round.

it wasn’t an uncommon thought to assume the Browns were ready to move on from him even during the beginning of 2020. He also had waaay better weapons than Darnold. They fixed his line and got him a smart coach and he led them right to the playoffs. I know I’m a Fields guy, but this is a strong argument for us to draft a LT at 8...

Normally I’d agree with you 99.99% of the time but I think Parsons is that special case. 

Honestly, I'm not 100% sold that Zaven Collins shouldn't be considered the best LB prospect in this class. Dude gives me Urlacher vibes.

I came very close to calling him one of the generational talents of this draft  (non QB)--along with Sewell, Chase, and Pitts.

They do a mock every morning and I find then entertaining usually. This one they have us trading down with NE to 15 and taking BPA Jaylen Waddle. I don't hate it at all, esp if we somehow get NE to trade us their second and third to move up. Fun to think about.
