Wide receivers, even the great ones (and they are rare) can get real expensive, real quick and are involved in say 40-70% of a team's plays, based on that team's particular style of offense.

An edge rusher, DT or LB can very often be involved in 100% of the plays on defense. 

It's a much better, more cost effective pick to grab one of those defenders (who are easier to evaluate and plug into a system) than to spin out yet another pick on a wide receiver. We're fair to middling, maybe even good with receivers right now.

And ignoring a need in a draft might just be the dumbest way to work a draft. Really, just think about what you said.

And great defensive players are ALWAYS available in free agency, because teams usually prioritize getting their QB and WRs locked up and never hit the open market

Use our cap space 100% on defense, get a few impact players that way, and then you draft T-Mac, the best player in this draft.

You will never find a player like him hit open free agency, it’s the only way to get a true stud outside #1 WR.

Dont over think it

Draft Tetairoa McMillan no matter what

Drafting for need with a top 5 pick is dumb.

 

We have an entire draft to fix the defense. If Tmac is the best player on the board you take him

Yes, if he's the best player on the board.  I think some people may be over-valuing him a bit.

Sorry, we've got to build the defense. Best edge rusher in the draft or if there's a Luke Kuechly clone MLB out there.

 

 Not this year. LB is crazy high unless you can guarantee he’s exactly like Kuechly which is impossible. Also, edge rusher is a no go in this draft. There are some DT/CBs that could go that high but there is no one close to a Bosa, Garrett, Hutchinson, etc.

If I had a hope, it would be somehow lucking into Travis Hunter to play CB and use occasionally on offense. Graham at DE opposite Brown could be fun as well. He's the only DL I’ve seen consistently at the top of the rankings. CBS had him 3rd preseason and 4th mid season so he’s been consistently at the top, which is nice to see. He also just turned 21 in September, which I’m a fan of rather than picking so many older rookies that still have to develop.

If anything he’s being undervalued

If he played for a big time program that was in the playoff hunt, he’d be viewed as a generational talent, but being on an awful Arizona team, he’s being g overlooked by most people.

Best offensive player in the draft regardless of position

Hes a rookie.

 

He needs to buy and use a juggs machine until his hands bleed....

With his feet nailed to the floor. Just about everything he misses is when he leaves his feet unnecessarily. IIRC there was one in the back of the EZ early in the year that he did the same thing. 

I think his hands are good, he just has that proclivity to jump and make it a harder catch.

Give me the Penn St kid Carter in the first, Clemson's Carter at LB in the 2nd. 

We just drafted XL, Saunders and added Coker last draft.  We also added Brooks and just paid Hubbard. 

We need defensive help. 

I like that combo and been doing that in mocks

Yeah I’m on board with drafting TMac. His catch radius was ridiculous when I seen him play. 
 

I feel like we could find production on defense in R2 or R3

We can find defensive production for the rest of the draft and FA.

 

Tmac is that one guy who changes the entire offense. Get him and we don't have to spend big money on a FA WR like Higgins.

 

If Bryce is the guy you need to go get him 1 more weapon.

      You know what's worse about the QB situation?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      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.
