Should I be disappointed in Coleman over Treadwell/Doctson? NFL network makes him sound like Tavon Austin or something. Don’t like it.

Cleveland grabs a WR who can’t catch with the #15 pick.

The rebuild begins.

“Can he run routes? No. Can he catch the ball? No. But on the plus side, he’s 185 pounds.”

They did it last year I remember, I don’t remember it being that bad 2 years ago.

In a related note, Ms. Cups asked the same thing, and I said “it’s because everyone hates him”

“why do they hate him?”

“I have no idea”

So why is he hated? Because of the personal conduct policy?

I don’t think you’ll ever be really happy if Tanne is your QB.

That’s about the size of it. When Tavon Austin and Percy Harvin are your best case scenario comps, you might have a problem.

I mean, Ted Ginn was a free agent.

He is not a blazer, but Treadwell was obviously the best WR in this draft.

If it’s any consolation, PFF had him as their highest rated WR in this years’ draft. His 4.88 yards per route run (before QB injuries), was the highest in the nation. They praise his ability to get separation and make moves after the catch. I’d be afraid of his small size and frame, but they seem very high on him and his abilities.

Can I make the annual comment that Chris Berman needs to be taken behind the barn and put out of our misery?

Cool, thanks. Moving on.

Teams must be terrified of Myles Jack’s knee and potential surgery. I can’t say I blame them. It will be interesting to see how far he drops before the upside overtakes the risk.

I don’t think Ryan Kelly is even close to being worth that pick, and I don’t think he’s anything special as a player.

But, if I’m wrong I really like that they got Luck a battery mate in the middle.

Awww. I was kinda hoping Darron Lee would fall to the Packers.

Curious how many people seem to have went to The Draft _just_ to boo Goodell.

Fuck it, Browns can trade up from #32 to grab Treadwell or Doctson. They have nothing at WR except a decent slot receiver.
