man...

even though “nobody knows anything” this was pretty cool to see in one list. I hope the Browns pick him up.

Amazing

All those experts, and only one got it right.

I would like Orakpo to go as high as possible

At the same time, I want him to land at a good place so he can have a great career. Personally, I think he’s better as a 4-3 end, and going to a team with a 4-3 may push him out of the top ten. The highest he would go as a 4-3 end is to Jacksonville, and past that there’s Buffalo at #11.

Impressive bit of research, jc25. Much appreciated.

McShay is an idiot

Melton goes around 125 and maybe before Miller.

Friendly wager?

I'm inclinded to agree, he's got too much ground to make up after not being invited to the combine

Of the hundreds, possibly thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of reasons that Todd McShay is terrible at his job that’s not one.
