Not much excitement to be had today.... lets see what ol Tannenbum has up his sleeve


Josh Perry and Sheldon Day just went off the board.
 
Best front 7 guy in round 5 . . . then just BPA in round 7.

Of course maybe we trade our 2nd rounder in 2017 to pick up 2 4ths this year :idk:
 
Conner Cook to the Raiders. Love the pick. Some day soon they will trade a player they drafted in the 4th round and get back much more for their investment.
 
Our pick in the 4th now coming up. I wonder who we would have gotten here?

Miami really liked BJ Goodson, the lb that went right after the Dolphins would have selected in the 4th. My guy Tyler Higbee just got drafted too.
 
Quintin Jefferson and Dadi Nicolas - two prime Dolphin targets today@SiClancy
 
For the 3rd time today (in case Mike T did not see it)

We have zero commitment to the running game.


RB JORDAN HOWARD 6 feet, 230 pounds.

PRO DAY RESULTS
40-yard dash: 4.59 seconds
Short shuttle: 4.34 seconds
3-cone: 7.14 seconds

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

Showed ability to step his game up against top competition at both UAB and Indiana. Rushed for at least 145 yards in every full game he played. Natural runner who combines tempo with a special feel for spacial relationships. Pro­-ready vision gives him outstanding feel for run lane developments at the line of scrimmage and onto the second level. Consistently chooses best angles and creases for optimal yardage. For a big back, can make himself skinny through tight quarters. Decisive and punishing. Drops pads and accelerates into contact to batter would-­be tacklers on the second and third levels. Drives legs through arm tackles and goes about his work. Hard-­charging when it’s third- or fourth-and-short. Showed potential in screen game as receiver.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 2 or 3

SOURCES TELL US "He's the best pure running back in this draft. I've coached some good ones and he's what you look for. His injuries will knock him back a round or so, and he's not as well-rounded as Ezekiel Elliott is, but I think this kid is the best runner in this year's draft." -- AFC running backs coach

NFL COMPARISON Arian Foster

BOTTOM LINE Howard has the optimal size and talent needed to strap the pads on and become a productive workhorse for a team looking for one, true lead back. Howard's vision, power and subtle shiftiness allow him to create and break tackles along the way. Staying healthy in the NFL is a legitimate concern for Howard considering his relentless running style. If he can stay healthy, Howard has the ability to become an instant factor as an NFL starter.
 
Still a few really good ILB's, do we wait and see if they last until the 5th or try and get back into the 4th to get one? Worried we've already traded away a lot of our picks to move to get guys, but there's a few pretty good LB's still there, just not sure they'll make the 5th. Thoughts?

The math says we are through moving.
 
I think Ricardo Louis, who the Browns selected, will be a good receiver... I just didn't see him going in the 4th round.
