Day Two: How Did Dorsey Do? No I mean it! Cuz I Don't KNOW dammit

There's a lot of talent left entering Day Two.

I focused on the Browns actual (not hallucinatory) needs to list some of the guys Dorsey could target:

Running backs Darius Guice, Ronald Jones, and Nick Chubb.

Left Tackles Conner Williams, Chukwami Okorafora, and the one with the highest upside: Brian O'Neill.

Eric Reid's brother at safety.

Real defensive end Sam Hubbard, and edge-rusher Landry.

Wide receiver Courtland Sutton (they need slot guys like they need a hole in the head).

Terry Pluto likes Ronald Jones the best among running backs, but I'm not sure if I can take him that seriously anymore,

He didn't like the Mayfield pick...pointed out that he wasn't as fast as Russell Wilson...?

6'5/8" is not "barely six feet tall", and is two inches taller than Wilson.

And when exactly did 5'11" become "undersized" for a cornerback?

I figured out at least one reason for Denzel Ward over Bradley Chubb: Antonio Brown.  I feel a little better now.

13 minutes:

Guice is a human pinball, but Chubb is a wrecking ball.  I don't know much about Jones.  Dorsey should nab one of them.

I personally hope he targets Ryan O'Niell.  

Terry Pluto is nervous about Shon Coleman starting at left tackle this season, but it's unlikely that even the more experienced Okorafora or Williams aren't going to change that in 2018.

The top two picks are in.  A utility offensive lineman😕 and Chubb.

Well at least Chubb I understand.  He's really good!  Chubb is a big powerful guy who shined at the combine.  He split time with Sony Michel at Georgia as the "thunder" to Michel's lightening.

Good pick!

Austin Corbett atop the second round I can't fathom, unless Dorsey thinks he can actually play left tackle.  Eman hypothesized Corbett at left guard and Bitonio at left tackle.

I dismissed that, but as I cast about for rationale here, I have to reconsider.

I admit that I'm as befuddled as everybody else by this pick.  It looks really, really stupid, especially since he could have traded down.

After more research (thanks Pokorney) I now think Dorsey thinks everybody else is fulla beans and Corbett can play left tackle here.

His "floor" is very high if not. He's ready to start at RT or guard right now.

Look: Lord Insideous drafted a 6'21/2" left tackle in the first round, and said he would compete at left tackle.  Nobody dares to bash him for that "crazy" pick, and we need to hold our fire on Dorsey on this one...for now.

At least this guy is taller...by the way what's this "lack of length" stuff? He's not quite 6'5"? Is that like the 5'11" is "undersized" for a cornerback thing?  Stop the inanity!

Pick 60 is in...61 there goes DJ Chark.  The Jagwires...looks like a dumb pick to me.  They're eyeball deep in slot guys too.

The Browns can find OH! The Browns traded down to 67th (don't know what they got yet). But the Bucs got a cornerback of some sort.

That seques nicely into what I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself:

Dorsey can find big tall possession receivers all the way through the bottom of this draft.

Dorsey (and Williams) seem not to regard "edge" depth with the same urgency as us unwashed masses do.

Chad Thomas, DE.  He's a project who has flashed real scaryness, but only intermittently.  He has all the physical tools and measurables.

Per Pat Kirwan, more than one coach has told him "if I see a few big plays on his tape, I can teach him to be that good all the time".

Calculated risk.  This one, in the third round, I "get".  He's not one dimensional, as he is solid vs the run (a real football player).  His upside is very high, and his floor is above average.  

Thomas seems like Carl Nassib to me, and that's good, since he'll be fighting Nassib for a roster spot.

I can't bash this pick...yet.  

Just so you know, I would have drafted O'Neill, Collins, or Okorafora over whatshisname...after a trade-down...as would all of you, probably.

But Chubb is a stud, and Thomas had real value where he was drafted.

Per the organization itself, Thomas is a real football player, like Ogbah.  He can be used inside as well as outside...Carl Nassib better get it together!!!

Dorsey got a sixth round pick out of this trade.  

If the Browns would just fix the communication glitch between us, I'd advise John to trade up or into 2019 with those day 3 picks.

In summary, O believe that Austin Corbett is here to compete at LEFT TACKLE, Chubb was a pretty obvious pick for this team, and Chad Thomas is like Ogbah.

Grading drafts within 3 years (let alone immediately) is the height of conceit and idiocy, but for the hell of it:

I give Dorsey a "B" so far.  Mayfield check.  I woulda took the lethal defensive end over the shut-down corner myself, but defer to Gregg Williams and can't deny that Ward isn't a stud (zeroed in on A Brown).

I remain befuddled by the whatshisname pick atop the second round (instead of a trade-down), but Chubb was a winner, and Thomas in the third round was a good value with both a high floor and a very high cieling.

Don't go for the pitchforks or ropes, or light the torches just yet.  Dorsey has been doing this for awhile, and we haven't.
