McKinnon?

wow a RB. With some good choices on the board. Interesting.

Well we got our Joe Web replacement!

looks like a huge reach. Kind of surprised they didn't go with a CB. Oh well, Browner was wearing a sweet suit

don't particularly like this pick, I don't know a lot about the kid, remember his name coming up in the combine. This was a deep RB draft class, would rather waited to pick one in the 5th. Interested to see what Spielman and co. have to say about this one

Jerick McKinnon

Sounds like he may transition to S in the pros. I wonder if that's the plan.

He didn't even take too many hand offs in College-- he ran called runs as QB. Not used to running between tackles. Wicked speed. Here's a recurring theme since we hired Zimmer: he's described as raw.

this draft I cannot believe I have wasted time and energy AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!! I could be blindfolded and threw darts at a board and made BETTER PICKS. hotdamn

Rampant speculation here....but seems like the Browns snuck ahead of the Vikes and took the RB Ricky wanted....then they panicked and reached.

Who knows, but that is my thought.

I love these types of comments. Draft isn't even over and we're already deeming it a failure. Forget waiting 3 years, or even til they put the pads on. Might as well cut the entire draft class in camp

Not that I love the McKinnon pick, but I've had no issues with the other 3 picks, and think the Bridgewater pick might have been the best pick so far in the entire NFL draft.

Surprising at the least.

Is it just me or are you going way overboard reacting to this pick sheeeez

Rodgers to Rodgers. That's going to be hella annoying.

Good point...well, in itself it won't be too annoying....but ESPN talking about it constantly will be

why not Brandon Thomas? might have been a nice upgrade to Charlie

time will tell I suppose

I think he wanted Desir, which I do too. With no 4th rounder, it's going to be hard to address our secondary....[/quote]

Seems like a whole lot of headbanging The draft isn't even over yet and there is now until the season starts to trade for or pick up veteren player to fill in at needed.
