That was a pretty important segment with Rich Eisen and St. Jude's. I lived in Memphis for a few years (shocking, the name says it all) and that hospital has such a weird footprint in the sense I think the national brand is far more impactful than how the local community views the hospital. I lived on Mud Island/Harbor Town along the Mississippi and seconds away from the St.Jude Campus, and I feel there was so much opportunity to promote the hospital, locally. Yet, it never seemed like a priority.
Anyways, It was a great segment and a meaningful cause.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

Ivan Pace not getting drafted was curious.

steelers got an A+ by PFF. I am very happy with their draft too! This division will be great in 2023.

Anyways, It was a great segment and a meaningful cause. Mud Island? I recently re-watched 'The Firm' and there is the scene with Tom Cruise taking the monorail to Mud Island and being chased. I noticed the monorail is now closed and awaiting funding for repairs in hopes to re-open. That's interesting to hear St. Jude's isn't as supported locally. Maybe, locally, it's assumed it will receive plenty of funds nationally? Patients viewed as non-local?

So, nearly half the league got an A. Same thing with PFF last year, when basically nobody got a bad grade. This year only two teams were below a B... Dallas (C+) and San Francisco (C-). Even Detroit got a B+ and they had me scratching my head a few times.
HERE WE GO BROWNIES! HERE WE GO!!

Memphis referenced this earlier. Here is the video and audio of Chris Vaughn calling his son Deuce to tell him the Cowboys drafted him. I hate Dallas, but this is really cool.

This is just an overall take on the Browns draft.
IMO the guy who may prove to be the steal in this draft is Elijah Moore. Technically he is not a draft pick. I consider him our second round pick.
He turned 23 on March 27th so he is the same age as Tillman. His time in NY was a disaster because of the mess that was there.
This guy has talent and desire. He is a complete receiver. He has all the skills. He has pro experience which removes question marks to a degree. There is tape of him against NFL competition. He was targeted. The Browns did their research. They looked at the draft and where they had selections. They must have concluded Moore is better than anybody we could have hoped for.
Tillman is interesting. I have always liked big receivers. Especially when they demonstrate they win contested balls. My opinion is corners are a premium position in the NFL. Teams draft them high and league has many really good corners. You have to have good corners because the passing game rules in the NFL today. Most corners around six feet tall.
Big receivers who can post up corners, and high point the ball have an advantage. If they have strong hands and show they will fight to get that ball.
Throws in the NFL are contested unlike most college games.
The Browns want to become a passing offense and they have made the moves to do that.
Siaki Ika was a Schwartz pick. He is a run stopper.
The rest of the draft are hopefuls. The giant tackle if motivated could be a find.
Overall hopefully a few of the others can contribute.
BIG IMPACT IMO will be Elijah Moore.

Agree on Moore. He’s the only one of our “draft picks” that has the potential to be dynamic.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

You're correct, Moore was not a draft pick. Tillman will be the best draft pick.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Woods is on IR. Ruptured Achilles.
Felton should not have a place in the roster. He provides little.
How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?
