Rumblings out of Dallas are suggesting the Cowboys like Zeke at #4. I'd love to keep saying "[Zeke] the beast", but who the hell knows what Jerry is going to do?

On a side note, these default words ([Zeke] and [Mark May], for example) have become the joke you've heard a thousand times.

Please God this. If he's not going to last to 14, don't let him go to Baltimore or Philly.

Rumor is I think the eagles would give the browns the 8th pick and two 3rd rounders this year + a 1 & 3 in 2017, to move up to #2.
I'd do it it a heart beat.
We could potentially turn #8 into more picks for teams trying to get to Zeke.
Unless Goff or Wentz is viewed as a Andrew Luck type can't miss we has to do it, gots to!

More than a few--the draft has been this was for 7 years running now. That aside, it rarely happens that the spring game is the same weekend as the draft, the former typically being held mid-April and the latter typically being held late April (if not into May).

OK Captain Semantics, let's go at it.

A couple = 2
A few = 3-10

Several years ago, I went to the Ohio State Spring Game and froze my ass off. I went to get food at the concession stand, where a guy came from his seats through the tunnel and into the concourse where TVs were showing the draft. He asked me who the Browns drafted. I disgustedly said "Braylon". I got my hot dogs and left. This would put the year at 2005. The draft used that same format for at least 2 more years, putting it into the 10 year window of "a few".

In 2009, my brother and my roommate from college decided to go to Baltimore to watch the draft during the day, and then catch an Orioles game.....where I had snagged 2nd row seats down the first base line. It was fun as hell. I remember waiting for the Raiders to draft Michael Crabtree....and then the name Darrius Heyward-Bey was read. I'm in the middle of Baltimore. I'm probably surrounded by Maryland fans. I let out the biggest groan ever (similar to the one I let out when I read that you wanted to squabble over the use of the word "few"). It was pretty funny. I thought to myself......we should do this every year. Imagine my dismay when the NFL decided the following year to have 3 days, the first being on a Thursday.

But really. Let's argue about it. It really takes away from my point of how awesome of a recruiting tool it would be to have Buckeye after Buckeye being selected in the draft while watching a Spring Game in front of 100k fans.

Christ.

I bet you didn't even really freeze your ass off. How would you even be able to sit down again?

FWIW: going back to 2000, it looks like the NFL draft and OSU spring game also overlapped in 2010, as well as 2003-2005.

Too good to pass up for the Browns.

great move for the browns.. Players available @8 this year may be better than who they would have gotten at 2.. plus an extra 3rd and 4th.. Then 2 first rounders and 2 second rounders next year.. they could really fill a LOT of holes in these next two drafts.

Assuming they know how to pick the right players which is something their front office has sorely lacked.

Of course it would be awesome. I was simply pointing out it'll never happen. Setting aside that it is unlikely (actually, very unlikely, as a matter of fact, historically speaking) that the spring game and the draft would be held on the same day, the NFL would need to revamp the entire schedule of the draft and depart from the schedule under which it's been operating for almost a decade.
