The Browns Crushed Free Agency + Mock Draft

Спорт

Buy OFC Stickers!!: optimisticfanclub.com/
The Cleveland Browns have been very active throughout the beginning of the NFL free agency period, and I believe that GM Andrew Berry has been COOKING.
The Jerry Jeudy trade was an exceptional move for Cleveland, seeing as drafting a WR with a 5th or 6th round pick would likely not amounted to a player with the ability of Jerry Jeudy.
The Jameis Winston signing (instead of Joe Flacco) makes perfect sense, because Flacco was not brought in to be a back up in Cleveland last year, he was brought in to be a starter.
Jameis Winston will be a supportive back up for Deshaun Watson, and the thing that people need to remember is that without Deshaun Watson, the Cleveland Browns will be facing a major rebuild.
Nyheim Hines signing to Cleveland means that the Browns now have a much needed explosive kick returner, as well as a fast ball carrier who will be a good mismatch in the passing game.
Jordan Hicks signing from Minnesota to Cleveland adds depth at linebacker, and an overall more dominant presence at the second level of the Browns defense.
I believe that Hicks will be more effective than the former Anthony Walker and Sione Taki Taki, and this will also open the door for the Browns to draft a young linebacker and have him develop over the next couple seasons.
Then, we touch on some of the Browns resignings including Maurice Hurst (D-Tackle), Shelby Harris (D-Tackle) and Za'Darius Smith (DE) who I believe is very integral to Myles Garrett's maturity and stability.
Finally, we talk about the Cleveland Browns draft strategy for the 2024 NFL draft. People are asking what they will do with their 2nd and 3rd round draft picks, and I believe that Cleveland should draft linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. from Clemson, and tight end Ben Sinnott from Kansas State.
I truly believe Ben Sinnott will be the leagues next great tight end.
What do you think about the latest Cleveland Browns free agent signings?

    I say this with no hyperbole, the Browns might have 3 of the top 10 route runners in the league. We know Amari is a route running savant. Jeudy is an elite route runner. And Elijah is a superb route runner, creating some of the most consistent separation in the league. I personally would love to see a lot of 3 WR sets with Jeudy in the slot and Elijah on the outside.

    I think the Winston move has more to do with Dorsey and the team running way more shotgun spreads. Flacco was elite disguising the play action, so maybe it's just a better fit to be more mobile. He deserves an explanation since we acted like we wanted him and he went out his way to put us at the top of his list and endorsed this team, management, ownership so he definitely deserved more respect for the season he had for us and the boost of morale.

    If we could get those 2 with our 2nd and 3rd, id be all for it. Think BC might fall to the 4th though. Trotter might go high 2 but could fall to 3rd as well so you might be able to get those two and one more guy as well in that range. Just hope berry takes the best players available. Only real way to keep us good. Draft the best you can and implement the rest through free agency. Got faith Berry won't mess this up!

    I agree. The Browns have made some smart "money ball" acquirements of talent in the off season. What about the newest player RB D'Onta Foreman? If you look at his highlight reel he runs (almost exactly) like Nick Chubb. Now Nyheim Hines will be hard to deny getting a second look. But I have more immediate needs right now. Like always my question is disguised as a comment. 1964 was one of the greatest years in my life, as it would might be for an 11 year old Browns fan. Yeah, the 1964 "World Championship". I remember Jim Brown. But more so I noticed the other 6 other guys that were always working to clear a path for Mr. Brown. The Offensive Line. End run right, and end run left. Give Mr. Brown the ball and let the magic happen. They were physically conditioned by design. They were very athletic and understood the need to make each assignment successful. And they won a championship as a team. Those were some exciting times back then. In March 2012, the Broncos reached an agreement with quarterback Peyton Manning, who had recently missed the entire 2011 season following multiple neck surgeries. Let's be honest. It could be said he had a broken neck. In his 4th year with the Broncos they learned the secret to winning. A QB with a severely injured neck needs protection. So the Broncos assembled a group of very athletic, healthy, disciplined massive assassins to insulate Mr. Manning making his job less stressful. By-the-way, the Broncos won Super Bowl 50 with a guy that had a broken neck. But it was his offensive line that were the real heroes. In 2010 Peyton Hillis was an overnight sensation as a running back for the Browns. Turns out it wasn't his running ability that made him famous. He had a secret. The secret's name was Lawerence Vickers. Vickers' reputation was as an explosive lead-blocker. When Vickers was not renewed..........Hillis was left to his own devices. Without Vickers, Hillis was a bust. So was the Browns strategy and the following season. All of that led us into the Dark Days of "the self made uncrowned King his Majesty Eric Mangini". This is not a criticism. Just a what about some talk about a "Steel Curtain" style offensive line to downplay the stress level for any Browns QB next season? See.........and there's the question? : )

    Nice recap. Like the Sennet call at TE, and they definitely need to draft at least one TE. I do think they will take a bell weather RB in the 3rd round if the right guy is available - good value at that point and with Chubb coming back later in year they will need a good workhorse beyond Ford etc.. .

    @larrymcguire4680 I'm not a big Watson fan and wasn't before he came here. However, he's young and I'll tell u rn, we don't need a superstar with this defense. He just needs to be average and since he's been a top 5 QB, I'm hoping he can at least be a top 15 QB this season. So yea, I know our situation. We can't cut him and get our money back so there's no point in bringing it up. We're not drafting a late rd QB either with Winston and the rookie we drafted last year that flashed future potential in DTR. We're stuck with Watson due to the guaranteed money. If the reports of Fields asking price has really bottomed out, I would grab em immediately. He got no favors in Chi and would easily thrive with this O line and skilled players and I'd have a battle in TC. We just don't have the cap to pay him since he'll be a FA next year lol
