Hello Everybody!

The NFL Combine will begin on Tuesday, February 26

The NFL Draft will begin 9pm on Thursday, April 25.



Ah yes, the NFL Draft. The modern day slave auction for Rich White Owners to profit using and abusing the bodies of stellar athletes for everyone's entertainment. The highs are high, literally drugs lmao, and the lows are low.

Who will have the star bubble butt and thick meaty thighs that can't be taught this year? Whose stock will rise thanks to the combine after displaying tremendous physical ability that translates to gently caress all in the NFL? What kinds of questions will be asked this year as in years past such as "Is your mother a prostitute?" Will the same dog whistles be used this year such as a white player having leadership skills and grit and a black player being a freak but with an attitude problem? Who is gonna be the weed dude this year? Who will have their hopes crushed by being drafted to the Factory of Sadness?

Thus begins a hilarious season when people who don't know jack poo poo start to predict entire careers and futures of teams calling themselves analysts and scouts...and they're paid money. Statistics of players performance and measurables are evaluated by people bad at their jobs and then projected into the future. Owners and Coaches hope to min-max their teams by selecting characters. And everyone pretends like the school they go to matter when no one gives a poo poo and it doesn't actually mean anything.

The top player currently projected based on some article I read 2 months ago, being the brother of a dead Ghost, DE Nick Bosa, is likely to go #1. This year I have also heard based on farts in the wind that DTs and Defense is pretty hype but skill players and other stuff kinda suck rear end. Will OT's be as valued as the Funhouse values it so?

I'm gonna hope Doltos is gonna show up cause he does an awesome job providing information.

LET'S GITT READY!

Perhaps if you'd like, state your team of choice, their needs and their position in the draft, and how you think the picks are gonna go. Predict into the abyss!

The Cleveland Football Browns at The Factory of Sadness

2019 marked an amazing turn. John Dorsey with some leeway somehow managed to foster a situation where Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward were drafted...and their careers and souls weren't crushed on outset...and they're good. I pray and wish everyone well. Head Coach Hue Jackson and Offensive Coach Todd Haley are gone. We don't need a QB? Can we draft one anyway...what is this world where we don't draft a QB?

Gregg Williams has done a good job thus far and Offense Coach Freddie Kitchens has also done a good job getting Baker going. We still may find someone else to be a Head Coach. For the first time I can know, the Browns made an adjustment and did better in the second half than in the first. Baker has good mental make up and skill, Nick Chubb is an excellent RB, we lost Joe Thomas yet our Offensive Line is holding up, our Defense is pretty swank lead by Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward, the Browns have won 4 games....there is a glimmer of hope and it is a strange scary thing. We have something that resembles an offense between Baker, Nick Chubb, and Duke Johnson. Baker can throw to all WRs and he favors Njoku but our WRs and TEs aren't the most dominant hype.

Prediction: Browns Draft somewhere at 7 to 10

Picks: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7

Needs: WR, OT, LB, S

The First Round: The Browns are set at QB and with this comes the need for protection and weapons. However this draft is really great in terms of Defense. If an exceptional DT falls to 7 - 10, we will pick Defense first such as Ed Oliver or Christian Wilkins. Otherwise to support Baker we will draft a playmaking WR, perhaps JJ Arcega-Whiteside Stanford, a 6'3 - 225 lb dude who is a supposed deep threat who can catch contested balls if some bullshit is to be believed. Perhaps even Marquise Brown who is related to Antonio Brown and is fast and played with Baker so that must mean a good thing. Outside that, a long term LT such as Jonah Williams from Alabama could be picked if available because it would support protecting Baker but open up for Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson.

The Second Round: If we pick a defensive player in the first, we will pick a WR or OT here. If we don't pick a Defensive player in the first round, we will in the second round. Likely a Pass Rusher or Tackle.

The Third Round: In the third round we may pick a Linebacker or someone in the Secondary to help shut things down.

Cue jokes about Baker cooking in the Kitchen, baking a win.

Thank you for the list.

How are the Browns 11? What is this? It is strange they are not top 5...I’m concerned. Middle is the most unsexy position of them all. We don’t suck enough to get top pick and select the best player and yet we don’t win enough to draft low and be happy.

Browns Update 2019

First Round: 17th Pick
Second Round: 1 Pick
Third Round: 2 Picks
Fourth Round: 1 Pick
Fifth Round: 3 Picks
Sixth Round: 1 Pick
Seventh Round: 2 Picks I think...

Needs: DT-LB, WR, OL, S, CB

The Browns suck against the run, HARD, but thankfully this draft is good on Defense and my gut says that's the first pick for the Browns. Alternative option is to give Baker more weapons so a top WR at 17 or outside chance at an OL guy but our Offensive Line was pretty decent this year that it seems like it is less of a pressing matter and this year has a weak OL class is what I've been reading. I'm guessing first pick is best available player in Defense or WR. Denzel Ward has had multiple concussions that causes concern in the long run at CB but he will play next year and Safety is okay.

Targets:

1: WR N'Keal Harry, WR A.J. Brown, WR Marquise Brown or DT Derrick Brown, DT Raekwon Davis
2: OT Jonah Williams or TE Albert Okwuegbunam or a WR that falls to round 2
3: Vosean Joseph LB
3: Julian Love, CB
4: Chris Lindstrom, G

Jonah Williams isn't falling to the 2nd and we don't have the 33rd. What kind of madness are you advocating TE in the 2nd?

Wait...we don't have a 2nd round pick? When did this happen? Or you mean 1st pick in the 2nd. My bad on Jonah then. Comedy option is to trade our 2nd round and a 3rd round and move up in the 2nd round.

I'm advocating all kinds of madness for weapons for Baker. But after we secure our run defense.

I am #HomoforRomo so I put him after Peyton, Rodgers, Brees, Brady and in the Luck - Matt Ryan - Philip Rivers - Romo section and a head of Ben and whatever else.

Romo was good, supposedly he was great at calling audibles and succeeding or getting it right in spite of coaching staff.

Also, have a mock Round 1. I hate CBS Sports for forcing the video to play.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft...dwayne-haskins/

This one predicts one of my thoughts of a WR at 17 for the Browns. I still can't comprehend the Browns are 17th pick. That's, like, middle. It is wild times.

https://www.draftsite.com/nfl/mock-draft/2019/

This one predicts a DT at 17 for the Browns. Which is also what I think could happen.

Both kind of make sense to me.

Yep stuff like this is why I hate Romo. He's never at fault for anything and he succeeded in the face of sheer adversity, nevermind he had a HoF TE that he dumped it off to all the time, good running games for the majority of his career, and the same coach that dragged him down is currently taking another team without him to a divisional game.

Actually scratch that, I like Romo. He was a great QB and an even better announcer. It's his fans I can't stand.

Romo would have won today's game and taken the Cowboys to the Superbowl.

If he excels at Baseball and is A-Rod level, he gets a 20 year career at like 25 mill per year. At the low end, it's a couple million bucks...but you get a chance at 20 year career.

If you go for the NFL you get damaged permanently and have, maybe, 5-10 year career so you get rookie + big contract if you're lucky.

Baseball, if you love your family and wife, you get to travel the US together or whatever for 9 months out of the year. If you hate each other, you get to travel and cheat on your wife while she cheats on you for 20 years for 9 months of the year.

Baseball's the smart money compared to Football. Basketball with the most merchandise options and system to get more money outside of the sport and don't get the wear and tear plus the thirst.

Usain would be an amazing receiver simply because he’d command an over the top deep safety every time because he’s so big and he’s faster than anyone at that position

Would he be a WR or Cornerback? He probably couldn’t take hits for long but deep he’d probably intercept or own a lot of WRs cause he’s 6’6”. They couldn’t air it out.

Gronk would demolish him but if he has strong hands I’d wonder if he could come away with contests.

Kareem Hunt can give an additional receiving threat since he caught a lot too while playing with KC so I think either we go Tackle in the 1st round but won't be surprised if we draft a defense player. WR in the second.

Break that poo poo down NFL!

But does he have the range to jump the length of 2 car garages?

Have his genetics been evaluated yet? What's his wingspan? What's the physics projection of the maximum torque his arms can generate in a throw with the additional rotation of his body?

This poo poo needs to go next level for scientific evaluation.

AJ Green and Julio are pretty awesome WRs. That was the draft Cleveland gave up Julio because they were supposedly needing a #1 WR at the time and there were articles I remember asking if it was worth passing up Julio.

The Browns have a good front but do you suppose they get in on these DT/DE's in the first assuming some are left by the time it comes to them? Or do they say "Protect Baker/Baker needs weapons" and go OT/WR?

Or do they do like they sometimes do and draft a CB. Apparently one cannot have enough CBs.

Or maybe the clock and measurement tools are broken/not calibrated.

Who is the NFL's best deep pass option that doesn't already have Tyreek Hill while needing someone to fight for jumpballs in the endzone? Brees? Rodgers?

The guy can't separate but if he's got speed and a vertical he could be a WR3 or something. Comedy option a TE.
