Yeah, the order the pass rushers come off the board is a crap shoot right now.  Ten different GM's could have them ranked ten different ways.  Just gonna depend on their personal evaluations.  I do think Fowler will be the first though, unless some negative info on him comes out before the draft.

 

I also don't realistically think the Browns would trade up for Mariota.  I'd give it about a 10% chance of happening.  I think they will start Josh McCown and ask him to try to tutor Manziel this year, before they give up on him next year and start over. 

 

At this point we might have a better chance of fielding a trade (from Clevland or somebody else) if Mariota goes #2 and Leonard Williams is there for us.  Cleveland could definitely use Williams at 3-4 DE in their scheme. Hmm, "light bulb"!

 

1. TAM – QB Jameis Winston
   
   
   
2. TEN – QB Marcus Mariota
   
   
   
3. CLE – DE/DT Leonard Williams (from JAC)
   
   
   
4. OAK – WR Kevin White
   
   
   
5. WAS – OLB Dante Fowler Jr
   
   
   
6. NYJ –  DE/OLB Randy Gregory
   
   
   
7. CHI – WR Amari Cooper
   
   
   
8. ATL – DE Shane Ray
   
   
   
9. NYG- NT Danny Shelton
   
   
   
10. STL – WR Devante Parker
    
    
    
11. MIN – SS Landon Collins
    
    
    
12. JAC-  LEO Alvin "Bud" Dupree (from CLE)
    
    
    
13. N.O. – OLB Vic Beasley
    
    
    
14. MIA – CB Trae Waynes (don't need WR now with Stills trade)
    
    
    
15. S.F. – WR Dorial Green-Beckham
    
    
    
16. HOU – WR Jaelen Strong
    
    
    
17. S.D.- RB Melvin Gordon
    
    
    
18. JAC – RB Todd Gurley (from CLE)
    
    
    

 

Changed up the pass rusher order a little bit.  Would Beasley or Dupree now be a better fit for what we need and after what we did in Free Agency?  Now that we have Skuta at OLB, I think Dupree fits best to rotate with or take over for 33 year-old Clemons at RDE.
