Browns vs Buckeyes: Which Draft Do You Take?

[LordJeffBuck]

Here are the Cleveland Browns' first five draft picks (in orange) and the Buckeye players (in scarlet) that the Browns could have taken instead:

Draft Choice	Round	Pick #
WR Corey Coleman (Baylor)	1	15
OT Taylor Decker (Ohio State)	1	16
DE Emmanuel Ogbah (Oklahoma State)	2	32
WR Michael Thomas (Ohio State)	2	47
DE Carl Nassib (Penn State)	3	65
DT Adolphus Washington (Ohio State)	3	80
OT Shon Coleman (Auburn)	3	76
WR Braxton Miller (Ohio State)	3	85
QB Cody Kessler (Southern Cal)	3	93
TE Nick Vannett (Ohio State)	3	94

Would the Browns have been better off simply drafting Buckeyes? Vote now!

Looks like it to me... though a bit heavy with 2 WRs and 1 TE with 1 OL and 1 DL.
Anyway, I've been wondering if Corey is really any better than the guy drafted 85 overall. The few times I watched Baylor this year I didn't pay a lot of attention to names... but everyone makes it sound like he needs to RElearn the position because he's the product of a system. And a lot of his value will come as a gadget player.
That sounds a lot like Braxton -- except I'd rather a guy that's learning fresh than somebody whose been doing it "wrong" for years and needs to relearn it the right way. And for gadget plays... I'd take Braxton every day of the week, esp with the assumption that eventually he'd be good for an RPO trick play.

Corey Coleman = Taylor Decker

Emmanuel Ogbah < Michael Thomas

Carl Nassib = Adolphus Washington

Shon Coleman < Braxton Miller

Cody Kessler < Nick Vannett

So, edge Buckeyes

Shocking results so far imo

Whatevs. I think Corey Coleman will be an All-Pro.

 

[Buckeneye]

Whatevs. I think Corey Coleman will be an All-Pro.

Then I realized I'm a Browns fan and I pray to baby Jesus you're right.

Oh, Buckeyes draft fo sho'.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Correct answer: BUCKEYES!

Six Buckeyes (Bosa, Elliott, Thomas, Decker, Lee, and Apple) made the All Rookie team. You can give the Buckeyes half-credit for Noah Spence.

Zero Browns draft choices made the squad.

Corey Coleman = Taylor Decker

Decker>>>>>>>Coleman

By all accounts Decker was one of the top rookies this year and did a great job keeping Stafford off of his backside......

As with most things Browns related, you can't win this one.

Thomas, Miller and Vannett are worthless without a QB to throw it to them so you have to go with the guys the Browns did draft and we know how that turned out so... fucked either way.

My post was from April, right after the draft. Obviously, Decker >>>>>>>> Coleman now.
