Yep I watched. Hope he turns out to be a good LB for the Browns.
Only thing I'd be worried about is his size. Kid looks like a tackling machine but he may have some durability issues playing LB. I'm sure they will play him more as a dime package LB.

I'm hoping that the recently acquired Joe Schobert pays huge dividends for the Steelers this year. I remember loving his game when he was in Cleveland.

Yeah 216 is kinda light for a LB. I'll be honest, had to look him up. Never heard of him. Played at ND. Hope he don't got no fake GF like Manti Te'o. :heh:

His size was the only concern about him in the draft. He's a stud playmaker though. Top 10 talent easily. If he can add some bulk to his frame, or transition to safety... Then he'll be a fantastic 3-down player. The Browns, having maintained pretty much their entire roster, could afford to take the gamble on him.

I think he's a lot like Isaiah Simmons coming out of Clemson last year.

Any of you catch the Browns-Jags preseason game?

Holy hell that JOK kid is gonna be a problem.

@Wamu @Shanemansj13
I never watch preseason usually but I watched the entire game. Yep, JOK was everywhere-he looks like the real deal. Also, that kid from UGA that was in car accident and ran a 4.8, he looked really good probably runs closer to a 4.5 lol. Felton the kid from UCLA looked really good as well, he is a RB but he was playing slot, great hands. He made one catch and it looked like he blew out his knee while turning his ankle. I'm not sure how he isn't injured.

Just waiting on Haskins to become the real deal so WAS fans can cry themselves to sleep lol.

Yeah I noticed he looked kinda small on the field for a LB but that doesn't concern me a rookie. Plenty of good/great LB's could play at that weight coming into the league.

Yep he is lightning quick and is a hard hitter. A special talent, if he could gain 15 pounds in the next couple seasons he could be Devin White kind of playmaker.

So we all know the Ravens lost Dobbins to an ACL tear... Does this mean they will go after Lev Bell or Todd Gurley? Pretty sure they already hosted Gurley this offseason.

Losing Marcus Peters is bigger for Baltimore than all of their RB injuries.

The guys they brought in to replace Gus, like Murray, will be fine.

My only worry is that moving AVill will prove that he just flat out can't play and we won't get to see him against the Steelers unless they have more injuries. I'd be willing to bet they could get better output at either OT position from a UDFA over AVill.

Yeah, not seeing the birds until week 12 really sucks.

Going to be interesting to see what kind of team they field at that point... if their injuries continue at the rate they are going
