#Browns have 11 picks total, today and tomorrow. I'm told they want to acquire at least 4-6 more. … What's the record for most picks ever?

I really like Henry too but admittedly I am biased toward skill position players as I have zero clue as to how to evaluate OL, etc.
Guys I'm watching for today:
OT Jason Spriggs, Indiana
LB Reggie Ragland, Alabama
RB CJ Prosise, Notre Dame
RB Kenyan Drake, Alabama
WR Tyler Boyd, Pittsburgh
WR Charone Peake, Clemson
I'd be stunned (but thrilled) if Spriggs or Ragland make it down within range of a trade up for us.
That's a lot of picks, though. Why do they feel they need like 18 draft picks?@Rapsheet

Have you seen the talent on that roster? Yeah me neither.That's a lot of picks, though. Why do they feel they need like 18 draft picks?

Not unless they deviate completely from the chart. We'd probably be talking both seconds for an early second plus a late round pick. One second plus both thirds could also work, if only this was 2017 and the comp pick was tradeable.Could the Pats move to the top of round 2 with one of their 2nd rounders + a 2017 4th?
Would that be enough?
I would take Jack in the second, even trade up for him. I've heard pat kirwin repeatedly say that teams are worried he might only have a 5-6 year career, but kirwin also points out that's longer than most 1st rounders. So why couldn't jack play this year? As for smith I wouldn't spend a second, maybe the second 3rd rounder though.Just gonna reiterate what many have said.
If either Myles Jack or Jaylon Smith falls to us, we really should take a chance (assuming our medical staff clears their knees from future problems). While neither will contribute next season they are insane talents and worth using a second round pick for, and it seems neither has character issues that Easley has.
Or grab a DT if neither are available.
Then grab one of Michael Thomas/Kenneth Dixon/Tyler Boyd and I'd be happy.

I'm hoping they could move up to grab A'Shawn Robinson or Jason Spriggs.
What are trying to insult someone by trying to trade cannon to them?#60, Dola, and Cannon for 32?
I'm thinking of the cap space we saveWhat are trying to insult someone by trying to trade cannon to them?
Yeah its funny, after qb, OL and DL are BY FAR the next 2 most important units to a teams success. That was true 30 years ago when teams ran the ball a ton and its true today when they pass a ton. Truth is, rbs wrs and dbs are almost irrelevant compared to these groups. I include lbs with dl now especially with the Pats since all of our lbs do a fair amount of passrushing-both interior and edge. But like you said, unless you have the time to analyze hours of film(i dont),then its difficult to rate ol especially. I started doing something many years ago-in the 70's-and it was because the best player we had was hog hannah. Along with leon gray, sam bam et al is was and still is the greatest running team in nfl history. So when im watching the game, every other play, im totally ignoring the ball. Im ONLY watching the ol. Yeah i would miss some exciting offensive plays and tv cameras didnt help since they follow the ball. Then i started doing the same for dl. That was eye-opening. It really gave me an appreciation for seymour, wilfork and others.I still have trouble with it. Generally I look at them vs a bump of different guys. Smaller bending types, bull rushers, the tricky guys who can do almost all the moves... Just see how they preform vs all of them.
For OTs the first things i look at are frame, feet, body control. You can learn power and technique if it is a bit sloppy. Then i see how they do against all kinds of guys they face.
For G's or C's I tend to look at different things depending on the type of interior line men they are. Some pull and some push and some anchor. Generally though for interior guys i look at power, tenacity, anchor and hands.
I wanna see if they can push a 320lb DT around or spot him cold and if they have the hands speed to stop one of those smaller DTs from spinning and swimming in between you to be able to get in position to stop him. I never expect a G to be able to step with those guys but can he get a hand on him and stop his momentum and hang him off with stopped momentum and force him out of the gap.
Generally though OL is a huge pain to evaluate. That is why i try to keep it to so few guys a year.
