[Shocker]

Man, I would love to come out of this draft with Moore, Penny and Gesicki.  Offense would be nasty.

[Toker Smurf]

Is the Josh Allen at #1 talk a smoke screen? I can find nothing, that suggess he should be the first pick. Is Cleveland trying to trick another team into trading up to#1 and selecting Allen so they can get Darnold or Rosen at 4?

[Panthers8969]

Wow Harrison over Reid. Haven’t seen that ranking since the end of the season

Guy is a specimen.  I posted awhile back I would use our 2nd on him as a backup/project/trade asset, but that it was a silly thread because he might be the #1 overall pick, months ago.

Except yours truly.  Here’s hoping Harrison is the pick at 24, period.

Haha I think he’ll be a great run stuffing SS but cover skills leave a lot to be desired 

[TheSpecialJuan]

i hate it 

[CPF4LIFE]

Alexander, moore, or ridley in the first and i will be very happy.

[steven8989]

[TheSpecialJuan]

Hayden Hurst in the 1st 

Justin Reid in the 2nd

A specimen? Okay? Doesn't make him a top QB. Lots of 'specimens' wash out. Guy was innacurate in college and was never a dominate force. He may be great someday but that's all potential based on physical attributes.

I would be surprised if the pick is not a WR or DB in the first round.
