No one asked, but here's my mock anyway.

Let's face it, our roster has a lot of holes. While the draft isn't about this year, we can go a long way toward fixing the roster by maximizing our asset. That asset is the #2 overall pick. If Gettelman has convinced the Browns how much he loves Barkley, here's hoping they pony up 2 #2s and a high pick next year.

#4 Bradley Chubb Edge N.C. State
#33 Braden Smith G/T Auburn
#34 Billy Price C/G Ohio State
#35 Isaiah Oliver CB Colorado
#66 Ronald Jones RB U.S.C. (if gone, Rashaad Penny, RB San Diego State).
#69 Michael Gallup WR Colorado State
#108 Breeland Speaks DL Ole Miss
#139 Damon Webb FS Ohio State

We had a lousy pass rush last year, and traded away JPP. Chubb steps in right away, and adds some dog to the defense. Smith and Price are versatile linemen who could potentially start next year on our craptastic line. Oliver could be the top cover corner in the draft. Jones could be the home run threat in our backfield we haven't had since...no one? Gallup could grow into our #2 outside receiver. Speaks is a 3-4 end with upside, and Webb could give Thompson a run at FS.

Or they could all stink. Have at it!
Not too bad  
sharpshooter66 : 4/21/2018 3:55 pm : link
Im hoping for Nelson
Vanderesche
RB of our choice
Not too bad?  
QB Snacks : 4/21/2018 3:57 pm : link
Where do i sign? Thats a great draft
Im not sold on Chubb  
sharpshooter66 : 4/21/2018 4:07 pm : link
being a good enough fit in our defense to warrant a top 5 selection, at that spot im looking for a perfect fit. JMHO
I like it  
idiotsavant : 4/21/2018 4:15 pm : link
Nice blend and balance
On second thought  
idiotsavant : 4/21/2018 4:17 pm : link
Even better. Great.
It's a very good mock.  
Ira : 4/21/2018 4:20 pm : link
It's getting to that time where we find out what actually happens.
If we are getting going QB in the first...  
Tim in Eternal Blue : 4/21/2018 4:33 pm : link
Then thus is a solid draft.
*aren't going

Since I'm not looking at players this year  
idiotsavant : 4/21/2018 4:34 pm : link
(Besides reading Sy mainly) what was the deal on Webb? Good back/deep safety prospect?

Then, mis dos centavos: Why your DT? Wuchu think of Lotulele as a late ish DT if that's how it falls?
I see Speaks as a 3-4 end with good size who came on  
Giantgator : 4/21/2018 4:44 pm : link
as a puss rusher. There are a bunch of developmental guys like him.
Excellent!  
old man : 4/21/2018 4:50 pm : link
Balance and value.
Impressive.
Typo pass rusher  
idiotsavant : 4/21/2018 5:07 pm : link
Not puss rusher.

But anyway love this mock i would substitute Lowell Lotulele or one of the bigs. Hard to find outside of the draft, those.
Oops. I wasn't implying Speaks was overly aggressive with the ladies

Looks good to me. It would be what you hope for  
Jimmy Googs : 4/21/2018 5:35 pm : link
to the extent you move out of the #2 pick.

Get stronger immediately across the board in multiple areas...
Would like to see a LB  
Rjanyg : 4/21/2018 5:54 pm : link
But that is an insane draft. Nice job!
Quality Draft  
WillVAB : 4/21/2018 6:00 pm : link
I’d probably look for a safety and LB late but that’s nitpicking.
I am all for trading down and getting a butt load ...  
Boy Cord : 4/21/2018 6:05 pm : link
... of picks. It will create a truly unique draft opportunity and experience. Will be interesting to watch this unfold.
I like this better  
Torrag : 4/21/2018 6:24 pm : link
#4 Mayfield QB
#21(used #69 to trade up) Guice RB
#34 James Daniels OG
#35 Mike Hughes CB
#66 Kemoko Turay ER
#108 Antonio Callaway WR
#139 Kylie Fitts DE
three second rounders in a row is nice and all  
allstarjim : 4/21/2018 6:30 pm : link
But I do not see the point in trading down unless we get a 2019 first rounder.

If we were to move down to Cleveland's spot at 4, something that I don't think Cleveland will be willing to do despite the rumblings, we may as well trade down again to a team that is hot on Mayfield/Rosen/Allen (whoever is remaining after the first 3 picks and wants to get ahead of Denver), and get that 2019 first rounder as well as additional picks.

At any rate, I don't like the draft, I think 33 is too high for Braden Smith even though I like him. I'm hoping one of Isaiah Wynn or Will Hernandez would be hanging around at that pick. If not, Sony Michel would be a better choice than RoJo even if he were still available at number 66, which I think is questionable. I think it's Barkley, Michel, Chubb, Guice, RoJo, then Penny in terms of the top 6 guys.

And give me James Daniels or Ragnow over Price. But it is a good effort.
Yeah that's good  
lugnut : 4/21/2018 7:10 pm : link
Especially love 33, 34, 35.

I'd love to get Oliver or Josh Johnson (Jackson?). If we had to choose between either and OL at 34, that's a really tough one, and I appreciate need for OL as much as anyone. What's chance really good OL is there at 66? Rankins?
Why?  
GeoMan999 : 4/21/2018 9:10 pm : link
Does anyone think the Browns are going to give up so much to go down two spots? Way above the trade chart? We convince them we love Barkley so much, but yet will give him up in a trade?

I am afraid there are going to be a lot of disappointing people on Thursday evening.

And yes, I know its the Browns!
