blueandgold Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I voted that Davis will get drafted before Gilbert. I feel like before last season, it would have been the other way around. Davis really stood out last year, but with Gilbert getting moved around, he somewhat faded unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted March 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Gilbert to make official predraft visit to Pittsburgh. Draft Scout has Gilbert projected as a 5th round pick but given his impressive workouts, his stock could be on the rise. He’s the second linebacker reported to have a visit scheduled, joining TCU’s Ben Banogu. In Pittsburgh, Banogu would play on the edge while Gilbert would slide in at the Mack linebacker spot. Note: I’m not sure the article is correct in suggesting hat Gilbert counts against the Steelers 30 visits. In the past UA visits have been considered local. Although most teams don’t even use all their official visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akzipper Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Akron had 12 prospects at the Browns regional pro day. The most of any school. Would love to see some of them get a shot in Cleveland. Edited April 15, 2019 by akzipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1982 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 While traveling this past weekend one of the Sirius NFL channels did a show on draft sleepers. Gilbert was mentioned. One of the two analysts said his NFL position may be as an in-box safety. I suppose his forty time is adequate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Jamal has 3,438 followers right now, Ulysees Gilbert has 1,145. I'm interested to see how it goes up after they get drafted. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, it gives Arth and the program some exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 The Browns and NFL Draft: Whispers, trade partners and dot-connecting Quote After asking around on the pro day circuit and over the last couple of weeks, I learned lots of scouts see Toledo wide receiver Diontae Johnson and Akron edge rusher Jamal Davis as third-day picks who could become keepers. Quote Most teams see Davis as a developmental 3-4 outside linebacker, but assuming the Browns keep multiple third-day picks they could find themselves looking for designated pass-rushers and utility players at every level of the defense.

akzipper Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I'm assuming that the Browns taking a LB in the third means they probably won't go after Gilbert. Unless he's undrafted. Still am a bit worried Pittsburgh might pick him. Although they also took a LB but don't think they are as solid at the position as Cleveland.

Unless he's undrafted. Still am a bit worried Pittsburgh might pick him. Although they also took a LB but don't think they are as solid at the position as Cleveland. The Steelers currently own the 122, 141, 175, 192, 207 and 219 picks in the draft. They play the 3-4 (linebackers), and in my opinion are not done taking linebackers in this draft. They love MAC players (already selecting one this year). The Steelers had Ulysees in for a pre-draft visit, and have a track record of taking players they meet with. “It was amazing, honestly. The Steelers were my favorite team growing up, so to meet everybody and meet Tomlin and just be around there — it was a blessing. I really enjoyed it.” --UG Edit: The Steelers draft another MAC guy at 175, Northern Illinois, Sutton Smith. Will move to ILB. Probably dismisses Ulysees landing in the Burg. Good luck to him wherever he goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Muncie had some Testicle Tech players for their pick. Would’ve been cool if they mentioned the college team for Akron’s pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Or the coach. Maybe the Browns will draft a Zip, and they go back to coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
