    Dorsey seems to know what he's doing and has Alonzo Highsmith and Eliot Wolf working alongside him. If they don't get this right today, they're never going to get it right.

    I can guarantee you that all the analysts will "love what the Browns did with all their picks."

    The Dan LeBatard Show's spoofing of NFL draft experts over the past couple weeks has been hilarious.

    The entire draft broadcast really is four hours of cliches spouted over and over and over again.

    It's why it was better on Saturday, so I could be a few drinks in. It's actually entertaining if you're drunk. Sober? That shit gets tedious.

    Unfortunately, yes. I don't know how you don't take Barkley at No. 1, though, with such a deep pool at QB.

    Eh, I love it. I mostly tune out the "experts." I just love the spring NFL fix, and I spend most of the time searching for highlight videos or debating online. It also coincides with my days off, so it's three days immersed in football. That doesn't suck.

    Highly doubt they all grade the same. If they only like one or two, they HAVE to take the QB at 1.

    Because he's a running back.

    I like Taylor more than most, and I don't think any of these QBs is even as good as Trubisky or Mahomes, so I wouldn't mind if the Browns didn't take one at either spot. Of course, the draft is as much a PR event as anything else, so we all know they are taking a quarterback.

    I'm not sure this is that incompetent a move.

    It's also the same GM who drafted Patrick Mahomes.

    Scouting report on a current NFL wide receiver the year he was drafted: Lacks functional strength to beat the jam and will struggle to create separation against man coverage. Raw route runner - does not sell routes or show a feel for navigating zones.

    Anybody want to take a guess which receiver?

    And they certainly need one. I really think he's a transcendent player.

    Supposedly it's Rosen or Mayfield. Given the Manziel experience, I think they're gonna shy away from Mayfield. And Rosen, man, I don't know how you take him over Barkley. I'm just biased about Barkley.
