It’s at least three minutes. Maybe a little less, but a lifetime for draft coverage while trying to post here and on reddit. ---

Ah, damn it. The Ravens poached Ronnie Stanley. ---

Hey, cool. 49ers got my third choice, DeForest Buckner (after Ramsey and Stanley). He’s the type of D-lineman that can make the whole rest of the defense better, including probable bust and fellow former Duck Arik Armstead. Yay! ---

Browns traded back from #8 to #15 for a 2017 2nd and 3rd this year. Seems like light compensation - would feel better if those years were switched around. Obviously they have some particular guy targeted in the middle of the round. Hopefully it’s not Lynch/Cook. My very unresearched hope is Doctson. ---

My very unresearched hope is Doctson. The supposed draft trade value chart actually works out in the Browns’ favor, depending on how you value future picks. My thinking is the Browns didn’t view anybody available at #8 as that much better than #15, and I agree. ---

It’s definitely Tunsil. Teams are investing millions in these guys. Tunsil also has some other off-field issues besides the video. He allowed someone to video him doing that (stupid), and he might be facing game suspensions. ---

Draft logic at its finest He had red flags before that. Straw that breaks the camels back. Dollars to doughnuts it’s him and he was extorted. ---

I hated the Von Miller pick because I said Miller was too skinny to stand up in the NFL. That’s my criticism of Floyd. God I hope I’m as wrong again. Bears gave up a 4th to prevent the Giants from poaching Floyd, and supposedly the Bears aren’t the only team that thinks Floyd is the only difference making pass rusher in this draft. I don’t see it. God damn I hate this pick right now. Please be wrong. ---

In total, the Browns turned the #2 into #15, 76, 77, 100 2017 1st & 2nd, and 2018 2nd. That actually seems pretty decent. This must mean everyone is on the same page for a full rebuild. They’re building like an expansion team at this point. Might as well trade down again if they can into the 20s and grab Treadwell/Doctson. Just not #22 to get a QB. ---

Well Tunsil apparently owned up to it, so half of my complaint is no longer valid. ---

And his slide stops. I was wondering if he’d fall all the way out, but all it takes is one team to _not_ take him off their board. And Miami is one of those tame towns where he won’t be facing any temptations… ---
