ESPN 2 is re-airing the 2017 draft

FL9er · 2020-04-21T17:24:19-07:00

Two things stand out. Is was a pretty strong defensive draft. I was caught off guard when Mel Kiper said he had Pat Mahomes rated as the 27th best overall prospect and Deshaun Watson as the 35th best. Said the big 3 QBs would be overdrafted or reaches in the top 1/2 of the 1st round. Gruden: "I would take Jamal Adams with the 1st pick. He's the best player in the draft. (umm, no)" Bears fans when Goodell announced Mitchell Trubisky..................priceless

Also traded them the pick that became Kamara even though Kyle really wanted him. Had to settle for Joe i-forget-his-name who never played a down for us.

If Solly didn't bust, we don't get Bosa.
Now I can sleep tonight.

Kittle alone makes up for all the bad that occurred during that draft.

Cleveland is on another level man.

Every time they've had 2 #1s:

2007 - Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn
2012 - Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden
2014 - Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel
2015 - Danny Shelton and Cameron Erving
2017 - Myles Garrett and Jabril Peppers, David Njoku
2018 - Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward

I remember watching that 1st round in school and one guy was a Browns fan. He was super excited to get Bridgewater, and when they called Manziel's name, I just turn to him and start cackling, it was so funny. Manziel was somehow a 1st round pick and an absolutely certainty to bust at the same time. Of course he pretty much instantly talked himself into Manziel.

Foster, #56, very disappointing.
