Between a shitty combine, then blaming his coaches for his "poor senior season" I can see him anywhere from 3rd to 5th round. He may sneak into the 2nd but only if a team is looking for linebackers slower than Kalil. :cool:

I'd take a shot at him if he drops to the 6th or 7th round lol.

The last I heard about him, the "experts" were saying he was going to be undrafted. So i could definitely see him falling to the 6th

Keep hearing his likely landing spot, if traded, is Denver or NY Giants

Some draft talk from PFW...

[HR][/HR] Eric Edholm ‏ @ Eric_Edholm Nolan Nawrocki on Andrew Luck: "To me, he's the most polished quarterback to come out of the draft in a long time." Likes better than RG3.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Nolan Nawrocki said that if he'd entered the draft, Matt Barkley from USC would have been the No. 3 QB in the draft behind Luck and RG3.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Nolan Nawrocki says that Michigan State DT Jerel Worthy can play in both the 3-4 or 4-3. Likely to sneak into the end of the first round.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Teams are becoming more comfortable with Michigan St QB Kirk Cousins. Compares him to Andy Dalton, saying he could go late-1st or early-2nd.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Ohio State's Mike Adams has the size to play both left and right tackle, but the tape is "troubling," according to Nolan Nawrocki.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Stanford's Jonathan Martin could have benefited from another year in school to improve his strength, Nolan Nawrocki says.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Midwestern State OL Amini Silatolu was one of the most enjoyable prospects to scout this year, Nawrocki says, but there are legit concerns.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Nawrocki says teams won't regret selecting Wisconsin OG Kevin Zeitler in the top 40, though he's not the best guard in the class.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly RT @ Eric_Edholm: Nawrocki says Whitney Mercilus would be too much of a reach for # Bears at 19 but could see him in consideration.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Memphis DT Dontari Poe has "rare size, rare movement skills" and could get looks in the top 10, says Nawrocki. # Chiefs would love him at 11.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Nawrocki says that Kirk Cousins is the best fit for the # Browns if they are interested in challenging Colt McCoy.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly As a quarterback, Ryan Tannehill graded out as a third-rounder, Nawrocki says. But clear that the talent level is there.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly LaMichael James is "the most instinctive runner in the draft. Rare speed for the NFL level. A game-changer at Oregon.," Nawrocki says.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Trent Richardson is as good of a power runner as there's been in college football in recent years, Nawrocki says.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly A lot of people have come away from watching Oklahoma St. WR Justin Blackmon "unimpressed," says Nolan Nawrocki.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Based on Jeff Fisher's history, the # Rams would likely be interested in a big defensive lineman like Fletcher Cox, says Nolan Nawrocki.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Nolan Nawrocki says because of his speed, Maine SS Jerron McMillian is likely to be drafted. Could be a special teams standout.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Alabama LB Dont'a Hightower can play inside and outside 'backer. Nolan Nawrocki says he may be better than Tide teammate Courtney Upshaw.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Arizona WR Juron Criner is a "dime a dozen wide receiver." Has talent, but mid-round pick most likely, says Nolan Nawrocki.

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ ProFootballWkly Alabama's Mark Barron has "great all-around football character." Has the same approach to the game as Julio Jones, says Nolan Nawrocki.

Been saying both of these for a while.

I don't think there's a huge degree of separation between Blackmon and some of the other receivers. Definitely not enough to burn a pick on at #4.

So my Mock Draft on buckeyplanet where I'm the browns has gone like so

4-Claibourn
22-Wright
37-Zach Brown - OLB UNC
3rd - Bobby Massy OL - Ole Miss
4th - Chris Polk RB - Washington

I doubt Massy and Polk fall that far in the real draft...

That would be amazing, but I completely agree that Massie and Polk won't fall that far.

Cleveland Browns ‏ @
OfficialBrowns

More Heckert on FA signings “I think you hit it right on the head; the main
focus was re-signing our own players.”


Cleveland Browns ‏ @
OfficialBrowns

More Heckert on re-signing of players for FA “You look around the league,
some guys are losing these players so we feel very, very confident


Cleveland Browns ‏ @
OfficialBrowns

Heckert on the re-signing of players “It’s been a goal to keep our own guys
and not go out & get everybody else's cast offs.”


Cleveland Browns ‏ @
OfficialBrowns

More Heckert on FA signings “If we missed out on somebody we really targeted,
we weren’t just going to sign somebody just to sign.”


Cleveland Browns ‏ @
OfficialBrowns

Heckert on adding 4 compensatory picks “13 guys that’s probably a little bit
more than you want but I’m not complaining at all.”

"not go out & get everybody else's cast offs.” I understand this Tom but most of everybody elses "cast offs" were probably an upgrade over some of these guys you rushed to re-sign from our stellar 4-12 roster....

I would be ecstatic. I still don't understand how there's a knock on Blackmon.
