I think it's almost a certainty the Rams take Jared Goff now that they have the #1 overall pick, and whether Wentz goes to Cleveland or not he's almost certainly going 2nd overall. Some debate over whether the Chargers would then take Laremy Tunsil or DeForest Buckner, but I can't see King Dunlap being an obstacle to them taking Tunsil. Which would mean the Cowboys would have their pick of Joey Bosa or Jalen Ramsey. I'm a Giants fan so I have hopes we address LB with Myles Jack or perhaps even Darron Lee, but OT or DL wouldn't surprise me at all. Jerry Reese needs to hit every pick out of the park or he may be done at season's end.

Chargers could use all the OL help they can get. But there is also a lot of talk of them talking Jalen Ramsey and Joey Bosa (or Buckner) to a lesser extent. Steve

I thought they were almost certain to pick up Ezekiel Elliott, but you don't ever deal all that capital for a RB. I know a fair number of Redskins fans who are still happy with the RG3 trade, because that rookie season was something none of them are going to forget, even if the wheels fell off since then. There's no guarantee that he's fixed yet but Hue Jackson is the kind of guy who can make it work. I think the Titans and Browns have both done really well with their respective trades, loading up on picks both this year and next. Tennessee has Mariota to build around and I expect the Browns will draft a developmental QB, whether its Lynch, Cook, Hackenberg or someone else.

The defense has definitely improved from a year ago (only gave up 14 to a top 5 NFL team, as other touchdown was via a blocked punt), and the offensive line has also gotten stronger. Kizer was still sacked a lot, but that is his fault (and occasionally poor blocks by the halfbacks), not the O-Line. Still, this team definitely looks like it could win some games this year. Don't be shocked if you see the Browns sitting above .500 going into week 6. Trust me, I'm not insane...or maybe I am. But still, I'd put the Browns at either 3-2 or 4-1 after 5 games. Here's my very short assessment of those next 4 games, and why I believe they are winnable for the Browns. Ravens are kinda tough, and this is the matchup of the four that I question the most. However, I think the fact that the Browns would have won game one had it not been for a blocked punt on their first possession, this one could start off another Cleveland winning streak (#WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWindians). Colts have no O-line (and Luck will still be out) Considering the fact that the Rams blew them out by 37, the Browns should be able to wreak havoc in Indianapolis as well. The Bengals put up a poor performance against the Ravens this week, potentially showing another weak season in general. I fully believe that the Bengals may be replacing the Browns as the holders of the 4th place spot in the AFC North this year, and a win in week 4 would swing the battle of Ohio in Cleveland's favor. Last but not least, the Jets. Never a good decision when you name a former Browns starter as your #1 QB. This team has been struggling for a while, and they will continue this season as one of the worst teams in the NFL. If they aren't careful, the Browns might put up 30 on them. And we are not high scoring, I'll tell you that much.

For that matter the NFL is in a real mess in California. The Chargers, Rams and 49ers have all screwed over their fan bases and now can't give away tickets, which means the best-supported NFL team in the state is the Raiders...who will leave for Vegas. Shambles. I'm a longtime Giants fan, and this is without question the worst offensive line we've had. Why Erik Flowers is still on the team, let alone still starting, is a mystery to all. On the bright side, I am crossing The Pond to see them play the Redskins at Met Life on Hogmanay, fulfilling a life's ambition.
