Cleveland Browns 2010 NFL Draft Day 2 - Open Thread (Part 3)

This draft thread is for the discussion of round three. After the Browns traded up into the second round to draft Hardesty, here are the two remaining picks the Cleveland Browns have in the third round:

  • 3rd Round: No. 85 overall
  • 3rd Round: No. 92 overall

QB Colt McCoy is still on the board, and DE Corey Wootton is another player I'd like to target. Discuss round three in this thread!

a nice center, a staring DT, a starting S, a backup QB, a quality #2 maybe even #1 WR, and a project LB. I’ll admit Robi hasn’t shown much, but receivers are notorious for taking a long time to develop.

by bross09 on Apr 24, 2010 4:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I never saw a time anywhere near 4.68. He ran a 4.54 at the combine (the lowest time on your spectrum) than a 4.48 at his pro day. that isn’t berry, thomas or mays speed but thats right up there with Nate Allen and Chad Jones.

I wouldn’t say mays had a better college career. he had 3 interceptions in his freshman year and thats about it.

for a fast guy, when blitzing, mays had trouble getting to the QB. He made a lot of tackles in his career but a lot of those were assisted tackles Ward was much better at bringing the guy down on intial contact instead of needing multiple players.

mays isn’t a playmaker at all (one fumble forced, no sacks, 2 INTs in the last 3 years) compared to Ward ( 6 forced fumbles, 1 sack, 2 QB hurries, 2 INTs and 8 TFLs).

mays is a pure height/weight/speed guy with a midround tape. Ward is a guy with a late first round tape (would be higher with more INTs) butr not great speed and questionable durability.

He was productive at Ohio State despite non-awesome QBs, no red flags came up in terms of timed speed/measurements, he got over the top of several NFL CBs, he had great hands, and he exemplifies the things Mangini likes (character, hard work, football means something to them, etc.)

The biggest concern was his ability to make cuts and separate, which is probably why he didn’t get on the field. I also suspect OSU’s passing offense is really really simple, which would be a good reason he didn’t digest the playbook last year.

Nah, most teams don’t blow a 3rd on a backup. They draft him because they think he could be a starter. In the end, sadly, McNugget has been judged judged as a 5yr backup by the scouts. A slight upgrade to a Ken Dorsey. He just doesn’t have the physical attributes. Clearly the Browns scouting staff feels the same. He’s just not big enough.

Yahoo has made me feel better:

Ward: T.J. Ward is simply a football player. He’s undersized and has some medical issues, but is really fluid when asked to redirect and find the football and loves to bring the wood vs. the run game. A really solid pick in Round 2.

Hardesty: A really talented back who has the ability to make people miss inside and accelerate into the open field. Runs hard and can break tackles, but has some real durability issues.

b) elam is more of a hybrid safety like ward. Elam isn’t a bad cover guy for a FS.

c) rob ryan has stated he doesn’t want a SS and FS, he wants 2 safeties who can play the run and pass and that is what elam and ward are.

I can’t argue with #85 for the kid. Still don’t think he’s big enough. But he gets a year to soak up the offense. He’ll be a 3rd/4th stringer year one.

85. Colt McCoy, QB, Texas
I don’t like Colt McCoy as a prospect. I could be wrong, but I think he’s a mini-Kyle Orton. Having said that, he’s a great value toward the bottom of Round 3. He’s a natural fit for Cleveland’s West Coast offense, but why then did the Browns pass on him twice on Day 2? That’s the huge question. (Pick Grade: A)

Wow, I’d expect good ol’ Walter to slam this.

Did he ever come out and say that? The only thing I had read had said “we’d like to be able to go with the best available”, meaning that would be ideal but we might have too many bigtime needs.

I thought he said it after the Sheldon Brown trade. That bringing in Brown (and Delhomme anf Hillis, etc..) would let them go with the best player available. I could be wrong though (and my current computer situation makes it near impossible to fact check).

Yeah I don’t remember reading that but it was what I was hoping/thinking. I hope we weren’t reaching for need. It is a little coincidental that we ended up filling 4 of our biggest needs, though. I’m not complaining.

Ill trust Heckert in the late rounds at this point. I don’t hate any of our picks but I definitely don’t love the trade up for hardesty. This team must have really liked Lauvao for that right guard spot. Lets hope the strength coach does some good work with these guys.

Still would like to see a wideout. Andre Roberts was a steal for the cards, I think.

Sort of, we’re drafting the BPA based on what we view as needs. The weird thing is, we’re actually considering “Need” as creating dominant sectors in our lineup. We looked to create a dominant DB situation. We did. We looked to create a dominant RB situation. We did. We looked to create a dominant Offensive Line and we did. And we got a hell of a QB prospect at 85 which won’t be considered a dismal failure if he busts.

by Buckeye Brad on Apr 23, 2010 10:18 PM EDT reply actions  

I think WR is a bigger need too. We need a slot guy with some speed. If Robo and MoMass are going to play on the outside we could use a speedy guy in the slot to stretch the defense.

"Smokescreen."

by jaws. on Apr 23, 2010 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

…except that goes away from our identity as a power running team. Why split the guy out wide when you can’t run from the spread (because of our personnel, not trying to get into the college offense stuff right now)?

Ben Watson is our guy to stretch the middle of the field. Versatility and multiplicity mean nothing if the defense knows what you are doing when you line up in a certain formation. Maybe if we had the most success from 3-wide sets we would need a speedy slot guy. We got the guy we needed (Watson), a slot WR would be just a bonus.

by rufio on Apr 24, 2010 12:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

what? you can run from 3 wide with no college trickeration or anything. If you have a slot receiver, especially one who is really fast, the defense generally has to put a nickelback on the field to cover him. This, in turn takes one of the front 7 out of the box, letting you run more effectively. You can be a power running team from whatever formations and personnel groupings you want.

We could have plenty of success out of 3 wide receiver formations if we had any receivers, right now I’d like to see us come away with at least one, and I wouldn’t mind if it was Jacoby Ford.

by jaws. on Apr 24, 2010 2:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

WE can’t run from 3-wide.

The Browns’ personnel.
Not some hypothetical in a vacuum theory.

Drafting Jacoby Ford wouldn’t change that. Really good play from Delhomme might, but I’m not counting on that.
