There have been very few draft picks in the past that I've felt this confident about... Jimmy Smith (which was my first year really scouting) and Ronnie Stanley probably the only 2 comparable. Liked some other guys a lot like Hamilton, Linderbaum, Humphrey, etc. but Flowers is among the special for me.

I keep thinking he's a 4th round pick, but now knowing he's a 5th... I wonder if there's trouble ahead for Kyu Kelly. Just haven't really heard about him and seemingly hasn't factored in despite the lack of CB depth. Got in preseason game 1 late. 5th rounders and later have had very shaky standing on the roster if they aren't cutting it. Might be too early to say one way or another but something I'll be keeping an eye on.

It was not cool for Mark Andrews to body slam CB Danny Johnson to the ground and tear his rotator cuff. I am a huge Andrews fan but that was a cheap dirty move.

With Clowney in the fold...

QB (2): Jackson, Huntley
RB (4): Dobbins, Hill, Edwards, Ricard (FB)
WR (6): Beckham, Flowers, Bateman, Agholor, Duvernay, Wallace
TE (3): Andrews, Likely, Kolar
OL (9): Stanley, Simpson, Linderbaum, Zeitler, Moses, Mekari, Aumavae-Laulu, Mustipher, Faalele

Total: 24

Notable misses: QB Johnson, RB Mitchell, RB Gordon, OL Cleveland

DL (5): Pierce, Madubuike, Washington, Urban, Jones
OLB (5): Ojabo, Oweh, Bowser, Clowney, Robinson
ILB (5): Smith, Queen, Harrison, Simpson, Phillips
CB (7): Humphrey, Ya-Sin, Darby, Maulet, Armour-Davis, Washington, Kelly, Williams*
S (4): Williams, Hamilton, Stone, Stephens

Total: 26

Notable misses: DL Blackson, OLB Hamm, OLB Moon, ILB Ross, ILB Welch, CB Seymour, S Worley, S Houston-Carson

ST (3): Tucker, Stout, Ott


Big names I had trouble with was Keaton Mitchell. Think they'd like to see him take it but the numbers are tough with the DB issues.

Also notably at CB - Pepe is on the roster to start and a vet returns... maybe a guy like Urban. I left Seymour off too but think he could get the vet PS, immediate activation treatment. Same with Worley potentially.

I have this the exact same way. Thought Hamm was gonna make it but not with Clowney. Think Worley is the one they bring back after Pepe goes to IR.

Not torn, strained. Johnson is "day to day", doesn't sound serious.

Not excusing Mark, but I think this is another case of the media overplaying an incident for effect.

Let's hope Flowers doesn't end up having a Jimmy Smith career.

Didn't he play with Odell? Wonder if he played any part in him coming here

Nah I think he was still with the Texans or was playing for the Titans during that time.

Correction: Clowney was in fact about of the Browns team when Odell Beckham was apart of the team in 2021 before being cut then later being signed by the Rams
