May 2, 201511 yr Browns take Charles Gaines a CB from Louisville. He's small, 5' 11" and 180 lbs. Good cover man but not so interested in stopping the run. Should be a nickel and dime CB and be used in punt and kick return.
May 2, 201511 yr Jags get Michael Bennett OSU DT in the 6th. Had a second round grade on him. What is the speculation as to why he dropped to the 6th round?
May 2, 201511 yr What is the speculation as to why he dropped to the 6th round? Inconsistent motor at times, but that might be more fatigue-oriented rather than an effort issue. Will charge in headfirst and lose sight of running back. Sometimes defaults to garden variety hand-fighting when pass rush stalls. Can lose gas with too much wasted motion as a pass rusher -- especially as a three-technique. Pass rush is tied to hands and winning early, so he must develop a counter move. Had a better junior season than senior. Lacks power and girth in his lower half. Plus not very big 6'2 293 small for a DT.
May 2, 201511 yr Browns take a TE finally with pick #19 in round 6. They take Malcolm Johnson from Miss St. Interesting that Buffalo picked right before Cleveland and they too took a TE--Nick O'Leary, Florida ST. I wonder which one the Browns had graded higher.
May 2, 201511 yr From Hobson on Bengals website, Marvin Lewis talking about the TE picks: If the Jermaine Gresham Era wasn't over with the Kroft pick (the nameplate was already off Gresham's locker), it is now. "We’re making a new transition and we appreciated those guys’ work and everything they did for us," said Hayes of Gresham and Alex Smith. "But we’re going to continue to move forward... this ship stops for nobody. If you’re not going to be on board, it’s going to set sail anyway. That’s the thing about it in this league. It’s constantly changing and that’s the only consistency in this league: It’s change.” Bengals draft second TE, take Auburn's Uzomah in fifth The Auburn TE runs a 4.6 40 with good size (6'5", 264), long arms and blocking ability.
May 2, 201511 yr Browns take Randall Telfer of USC with pick 22 in round 6. He is another TE at 6'3", 250 lbs.
May 2, 201511 yr The Browns are the clock for their 12th pick of the draft. EVERBODY is waiting with baited breath... and the pick is.... Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, a smallish CB from Oregon. He actually was a projected 1st round pick before tearing his ACL in practice prior to the Ducks national semi final game against Florida St. That's the 24th pick of the 7th round. It is the one I have been looking for--the last for the Browns in the 2015 NFL draft. Good night and God bless!
May 2, 201511 yr Bengals drafted another safety Derron Smith 5'10 200 Freseno State. Another good value. Ranked #3 safety and expected to be gone in round 3. The Bengals' draft has turned out pretty good overall. I give it a B- but if a couple of the injured and the projects turn out, it could be much better looking back in 2-3 years.
May 2, 201511 yr [h=1]Dallas Cowboys[/h] [TABLE=class: team-tab-team] [TR] [TD=class: team-tab-team-info] [/TD] [TD=class: team-tab-fan-meta, align: right] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Needs Analysis: The addition of Darren McFadden is stop-gap at best. Despite talent on the roster at RB, this is the draft to go bargain hunting at that position if desired. Dallas could use immediate help at cornerback. Rod Marinelli demands upfield talent from his interior, and that is missing on this roster. Dallas could look for SAM or MIKE LB this year. The depth of the OL might be addressed at some point.

May 3, 201511 yr Just because she was an LSU fan doesn't make her a jerk. If she was a jerk she would have forced her son to attend a school he didn't want to attend. She didn't, she let him make the decision. You are right. Being an LSU fan does not make her a jerk. Being selfish, and criticizing her son's decision instead of supporting him in a big moment for him is what makes her a jerk. Saying "go tigers" after he picked Bama also makes her a jerk.
