Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 22s

The Browns have selected Johnny Manziel. The wait is over

Possibly Cincy scared them ... but what about the talk out of Philly and Manziel love?

[Bretsky]

Maybe Van Noy will be there in the 2nd...

Telvin Smith or Christian Jones in the 3rd...

There are some options at LB futher down...

Wouldn't they have Hoyer be the man for the first year?

i'm guessing the demand to make johnny the starter is gonna be pretty high. by the end of the year, he'll be the starter

Packer Report @PackerReport 3m
Thompson: Need met best player available. Was best player available, most skilled. Wanted to add a safety.

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 2m
TT: says his speed is fine, combine times ranged from high 4.58s to low 4.6s at the combine.

Packer Report @PackerReport 2m
Did Thompson engage in trade talks? "We talked to a number of teams."

Packer Report @PackerReport 2m\
Thompson disagreed with the notion that Clinton-Dix has relatively marginal athletic ability with 4.58 at Combine.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 1m
Thompson smiled when asked if he talked to #Browns before taking Clinton-DIx: "We talked to a lot of teams."

Dee Ford
School: Auburn
Position: DE
Positive: Full-time starter the past two seasons, totaling 29 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, and 10.5 sacks as a senior. Struggled with back injuries in the past. Explosive, athletic prospect who displays outstanding pass-rushing ability off the edge. Fast in every direction, forceful up the field, and a classic edge rusher. Easily changes momentum without losing momentum, can bend off the edge, and breaks down well. Quick moving in every area of the field, fires off the snap with a terrific first step, and very sudden. Shows skill out of a three-point stance as well as standing up over tackle.

Negative: Lacks bulk, strength, and cannot get off blocks once engaged at the point of attack. Can be a liability as a run defender. Took a lot of wide angles around college tackles he was able to exploit.

Analysis: Ford is a pass-rushing prospect who did well in 2013 then even better during the Senior Bowl. He's a bit one-dimensional, primarily making plays as a wide-angle edge rusher and has struggled with injuries almost every year at Auburn. Seemingly on everybody's list as a potential first-round choice, Ford is not as good as advertised and may be more of a situational defender rather than an every-down lineman.

So who is everyone liking in rounds 2-3? Possible LBs?
