Higbee

Everything else looks about what you'd expect.

[LBH]

I think Sterling Shepard will out produce the other rookie WRs. 

No way on Higbee at TE. I'm going with Hooper

 

[Bri]

Interesting that Tunsil is not on here.

He had a relatively quiet fall from "one of the best tackles in years"

 

[Bri]

Titans had so many picks that I guess they will probably get one guy on here.

LB Wallace has already played all four positions. He shouldn't start and likely won't be on here but if an injury gets him action then "played all four positions" will be a considerable extra announcers say at every game and bump him up some.

Titans llllllove Tajae Sharpe. There's no history of them loving a WR and following that up with a great year.

 Lebeau loves safety Byard. HUGE history of him loving a safety and that guy doing well. He could take Rashad Johnson's spot by like week four or some scenario since Johnson is old.

Conklin was demoted to 2nd string so we're about to see how Mularkey and Grimm motivate.

Dodd would be my guess more than anyone. That Lebeau can play him at either End and either OLB, dude is gonna be a weapon. To play next to Casey or opposite Casey will only help

 

[Bri]

Every time I read about the OK St DE at OLB for the Browns, they are raving about him

 

[Run It Up]

The Browns rave about all their defensive players, then they change schemes and get rid of them.

Sorry about that.

Fixed!

Higbee caught my attention as did the omission of Tunsil.

I was thinking that Ogbah (the Browns LB mentioned above) 'could' have gotten a mention but Miles Jack had so much buzz heading into the draft that he should have gotten mentioned on the 'outside chance' he plays this year so that is understandable.  Add, Hue Jackson has been hesitant to award starting positions even if he has an RG III getting virtually every 1st team rep but Hue says that 'Its an open competition.'  Ray Horton the DC of the Browns, has Ogbah currently buried on the depth chart but he is making the transition from DE, playing as a down lineman to an OLB.  That typically is a year but from all accounts Ogbah is impressing everyone.

As long as Ogbah can cover some, I would plan on him starting.

Horton used a bunch of 5-3 in TEN whenever there was a 3rd and long so he could get Orakpo and Morgan on the DL. Their CBs were all inexperienced but the unit was top 10. Since it worked so well for him, gotta figure he wants same in CLE. 

BTW He is behind BB as the most creative DC I've ever seen. 2014 I swear they played more sets than any D ever. I thought I saw Red Dog and these tecmo sets. 8 DBs a few times, 6 DL, 2 DL...when they were getting 'killed' in 2014 he gave it his all. I really applaud him for that. I felt like I could see a coach making a huge effort to win anyway. Obviously the Titans didn't, but I greatly appreciated the effort. Lebeau kind of calmed down that creativity in 2015 but they also added some players and weren't a complete mismatch too. When he applied for head coach, I was hmmmm and not really turned off by it despite their putrid record. I think you're going to see a new and improved Horton. Whisenhunt gave him so much freedom that he got to try things and rehash concepts with Lebeau...I really think you're going to notice a significant uptick in Horton from when he was there last. 

I think the losing usually brings more 3rd and longs then winning teams' defenses endure. I have no stat just a feeling. With Haden, probably some losing, really think he'll use that 5-3 in CLE and Ogbah will be key piece.

Can he hang with their TE at all in coverage?

I saw the guy in college tons but I don't think he ever covered.

How Horton does in Cleveland is going to be dependent upon how soon and for how long that Joe Haden gets and remains healthy.  After that, then he's got to worry about building a pass rush and finding a capable starter on the opposite corner so I wouldn't count too much on scheme but moreso on personnel just so he can get his scheme on the field.  His first time around in Cleveland he didn't have the horses to make it go.

Interesting that Tunsil is not on here.

He had a relatively quiet fall from "one of the best tackles in years"

But he's being asked to play out of position. Maybe he'll be great at it, but without seeing it I can understand why some would be apprehensive in making the call.

I would bet that if Vegas put out a line which OLman from this draft signs the biggest second contract Tunsil would probably edge out Stanley, and nobody else would even be close.

With Sharpe already seeming to have locked up the slot, Sharpe is now pushing Hunter and DGB. DGB most I think since it was said Hunter had a real good day.

As I mentioned in Titans thread- He got the "he catches everything" phrase which I discarded as common until today a reporter felt it noteworthy that a DB broke up a pass to him. Like wha? That's news? Maybe he really truly does catch everything and isn't just the overused phrase.

Dynasty guys (maybe even deep redrafts) you have a few days, if that, to snag this guy. The FBS leader in receptions running with the ones, pushing two athletic freaks already...that'll be well publicized soon. Why'd he fall to the fifth could be a story, "sleeper" becomes the most common word on FF sites anyday now. Telling ya you have little time left to grab him

He's dirt cheap, maybe even on the WW after rookie drafts. Your risk couldn't be more minimal.
