    the Browns did what the Browns do... either they'll turn out to be geniuses, or they'll be the Browns again.

    Rosen fell to the 10th pick and let everyone know he wasn't happy about it. Motivating that guy is probably a bad idea.

    2 Brothers taken in the first round. 5 QBs taken in the 1st round. There's an absolute ton of great players left going into Day II. I think this draft will be won or lost on the 2nd day.

    Corey, One of these days the Browns are actually going to pick a QB, who will be a winner! Question is whether it will be in my lifetime? :lol:

    Four Alabama players taken in the first round. As usual for the Tide, none were a quarterback. 8)

    Kp, Ohio State had two players in the first round. I hope the Tide will be able to field a team this fall? :lol:

    Seattle on suicide watch. Their greatest need was pass protection, so they selected a TB from San Diego St. who can't block...

    Irish had 2 OL taken in the top 10. Q.Nelson was a given to be the 1st OL off the board. But in a lot of Mock drafts Mike McGlinchey (San Fran #9) was not projected as a 1st round pick.

    Texans of course had to sit and watch, we don't have a pick till round 3. We have a lot of needs, esp OL. But at that point ou aren't getting immediate help on the OL.

    I was surprised by the Bronco's taking Chubb instead of a QB. But I guess they feel like Case Keenum is a solid enough starter that if they have a great defense that they can make a deep run in the playoffs.

    Not surprising that Alabama had a lot of players taken, the program that Saban has built is loaded with high end talent all over the place. Not to mention that even with a lot of great players leaving for the NFL, he has great players who have been waiting their turn to step up and show wha they can do...reload in other words.

    Rosen can talk like an All Pro. Now let's see if he can play like one.

    JO'Co wins draft analysis humor so far... but we have many rounds to go.

    The Browns had the first and 4th picks. Why not take Barkley first and then Mayfield with 4th pick. Did they really think he would be taken before then?

    The player with the best arm strength still has not been drafted:

    quietly, the Brows are drafting nicely aside from their mystery pick at #1. The Bills are having a really good draft. The Steelers appear to be having a nice draft as well.

    Seattle, as JOCO stated, are still on suicide watch.

    Looks Like Josh Adams and St. Brown may go undrafted. Both of them had eligibility left. All gone now.

    I think ESB would have benefited from coming back for his last year, but for Josh Adams I don't think it would have helped him.

    He's a very good college back, but coming back not likely to have improved himself over last year and he does have durability issues and I don't think he's had a year at ND where injury wasn't a problem for him.

    Even if he had an injury free year, I've read that his running style isn't really liked by NFL scouts. Too upright, and he's tall. Most of his big runs, which he had a lot of he popped through and then he could kick it into gear but those aren't lanes that are very open in the NFL.

    He ran like Eric Dickerson. That turned out pretty well.

    ESB drafted by the Packers. I'd look for him to make the squad there. Josh was signed as a free agent by the Eagles. That seems about right for a guy with so much yet to prove.
