Way to go Mo. All that hard work and rehabbing paid off buddy.

Congrats!

Obviously Simon was on the Browns radar to have picked him up this early. Best of Luck Simon, happy to have you in town and hope to see you here for the next 10 years.

That's great news. Both deserve a shot. I can see Fraser playing for a couple years and then going into broadcasting. Mo Hall will make a great RB coach one day.

 

[FadeproofBuck]

I wish them both the best!

I think Hall would be more likely to end up in broadcasting. He's a communications major, Fraser studies something else.

Hey guys, let's see 'em play in "The League" for a few years before we have them retiring...

This is a natural. Browns have a need on the line and will get Simon at a real bargain. He gets to stay close to home. He deserved to be drafted.

Simon needs to bulk up a little and move inside to have any chance in the league, he is way too slow for an NFL DE

With the Browns running a 3-4 now, Simon should fit in perfectly as a 3-4 DE.

He has been bulking up and at the combine was listed as a defensive tackle. I think he is up to somewhere in the 280 range right now. I think he can play at that level, he is versatile.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I think SF will be a great pickup for the Browns since Denver was nice enough to take their whole overpriced DL off their hands for them.

I think Simon has a legit chance to make the team and contribute, he showed at OSU that he has the ability to drop back into coverage and rush the qb. Since the Browns are switching to the 3-4 defense, I could see him being somewhat like Vrabel in the 3-4, either he rushes as a stand up LB or he drops back into coverage, I think he is athletic enough to do it.

I tihnk this is a great pickup for the Browns...I think Simon Fraser has enough ability/intelligence to play in the league for a while...I was very happy overall with the Brown's moves, I think Charlie Frye is a great pickup...

Honestly, I'm surprised about the Mo Hall pickup, he must be doing really well in his recovery...it would seem that his history of knee problems would make teams a lot more hesitant...I definitely see it as a special teams pickup, and I think that is the one place Mo Hall could succeed

Has anyone heard what happened with Brandon Joe? I hope someone will at least give him a look.
