Don't kill the messenger
I realize he's better suited for the 3-4, but he would still beast in a 4-3.

If they go after star they NEED to switch to the 34 or a hybrid just get all the talent on the field at the same time.
Say sign Connor Barwin too and you would have a nasty D |
Are you putting Star at DE or NT?
Taylor-Rubin-Star
Sheard-Jackson-?-Barwin |
That would be disgusting... and still have the personnel to put in for a 4-3... Hughes and Winn can fill in anywhere on that line. We have a plethora of suitable LB's in the middle. It would be hard to staff the OLBs though. |

If you have talent any defensive scheme would work

You could drop Gocong into that "?" maybe? Still don't like it because who knows whether Sheard could rock OLB.

Good teams draft players that coaches can use in their scheme, not necessarily stars. See Pittsburgh and New England.

As a Gators fan I hate pimping Georgia players but at this point I'm on the Jones bandwagon. Kid is strong and fast for his size. I'm tired of running backs being able to bounce it to the outside with out any problems before they get stopped by Jackson 5 or 6 yards already up field.

Good coaches also find ways to make their scheme work for the players they have

I wasn't trying to say you were wrong just that we don't have good coaching

We don't need another big defensive tackle. We just don't. It's not a good investment. We have two very good, young ones already who play the center of the line. We also have some pretty decent depth behind them. What we don't have is a stud opposite of Sheard. I don't like the thought of drafting a DT, changing the defensive system back to a 3-4, and hoping that Sheard pans out at outside linebacker. To me, that's foolish. We already know that D'qwell can play in a 4-3 but not a 3-4. We also know that Rubin, Sheard, and Taylor are all excellent in the 4-3. Why change everything when we are so close to having an exceptional 4-3 front seven? Makes no sense to me.

Just kicking around the idea as Star May be BPA when the Browns pick.
A lot of folks compare him to Ngata, passing on 2 prospects like that or trading them away

| I wouldn't mind taking Star if you can't trade down. I like the thought of grabbing Barwin too. Gocong could be the thumper inside next to DQ or you could draft someone like CJ Mosely in the 3rd. The Dline would be great but the OLB's would be very questionable. Always been high on Barwin but a full-time starter with no backup for him??? |

So let me get this straight, say we draft a DE and he turns out to be mediocre at best. Star turns out to be, well a star. You won't be disappointed? My question wasn't answered before, will you answer it?
Now if the Browns think that DE will be a stud then yes I would go that route. But in a crappy draft you go BPA regardless of position. And yes that would include DT. Maybe the only 2 positions I wouldn't go are OT and RB.

If Star is the best player, i see no reason not to take him. I'd probably be happier however with a trade down if at all possible.

Trade down is definitely optin 1, 2 and 3. That is a must.
If we do however find ourselves stuck, i'm between Jones and Star right now.
Obviously there is plenty of time for the board to shift, but I'd have no problem drafting Star.
