How many "BLUE CHIP" players are on the Cleveland Browns 2024 roster?

Definitely. Ok. This is my favorite question of the day. How many Blue Chip players are on the Cleveland Browns? And I guess by Blue Chip, my definition because you could go all pro, but that's a tough bar. But that's what blue chip is. I went pro bowl. So give us yours first. I have seven and, and, and before you go, whoa, whoa, whoa, how many pro bowlers did they have last year? I, I think they had as many pro bowlers as just about anybody except for maybe Philadelphia last year. And I think they have seven players that are Blue chip players. In other words, I would take this player at that position over just about anybody else and I think we all know who they are. Jok was on my list and I had to triple check it but I, I thought no, he's, he's earned his way onto that list. Clearly, Nick Chubb is on that list. I had a Murray Cooper on that list. When you look the production that he put out last year, I think he's gotta be there. Joe Berton is on my list. Denzel Ward is on my list. This one's gonna surprise you because it surprised me. I was against him getting his big contract when he got it. David Nejo, I think David Naoko is a blue chip tight end and the other one was, uh, Emerson. I think I've got Martin Emerson as a guy that is a way above average in his position and among the best in the league. I would, I would, I would, I would agree with that. Um Just back to Justin Jefferson, how good Martin Emerson is. We'll let you know that that was just practice, but he, he was singing and that don't happen all the time. No, D Bs and receivers don't, don't really do that. II, I think um when you look at Jewish II, I, I'm, you're correct on David and Joker because he is trending up and that's the good thing about the Browns. Martin Emerson is up and coming. David and Joko despite being in the league this many years is trending upwards as, as a guy who's doing something. Um You still got uh Miles Garrett who is in, in his prime. Jok is trending upward. I will give you Joe Joe Baton as well. Nick Chubb is there and I think the one of the more underrated guys is Aar Cooper for me. I look at it as I if, if I took that guy, how many teams is he starting for 3/4 of the league? Right? Like, like if you take blue chip if I say, ok, so the top 25% top 25% like you could go anywhere and start. Is that a fair definition, by the way, with, might be liberal for me, I've made it way more strict than you. So I, I don't have too many on any team. I only have the Browns with three blue chip guys. And for me, you if you're a quarterback or running back or a tight end, you gotta be top five and if any other position, you gotta be top 10 because there's so many guys in those positions. So to me, I only have three, I have Miles Garrett Denzel Ward and Joel Beton. I, you know, Amari Cooper is not a top 10 wide receiver, Chubb, not on your list because of the chub is only because he's coming off the inside. He certainly was blue champ. I take him off temporarily. If he gets back to that level, I'd put him back. But I'm taking a, I think Jok for has a chance next year. He's got to do it more than one year before. I'd make him Blue Chip fair. Uh, Martin Emerson is not top 10 yet. He, he could get there but even three, I don't, I bet you there's not many teams that have more than three with my tough grading and Nick Chubb's only off because of the injury. That's it. Yeah, and that's fair. I, I thought about that and I just, it's Nick Chubb. I'll probably have him on my Blue chip team 10 years from now. That's how much I love Nick job for the record. I, you know, before you say, well, you get the Bengals. I only have two for the Bengals. I have Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase. Settle this. Uh, I was on the high end, I think I was seven or eight. Bull had three. I think you and gee were a little too liberal on the blue chip, but I think Bull was a little too strict. I'm actually, I, I went with four. I know Jok only did it one year and I understand the hesitation to put him in that class, but his 2023 season was so good and I don't expect any drop off whatsoever. I expect, uh expect even as he was in his. So I had the three bowlhead plus Jok and Chubb would be, but because of the injury, I can't put him on it. Right? One other thing on the gok thing, uh You want your blue chip players to be blue chip in big games. He was the only guy that made the trip to Houston. He was the only blue chipper in there he was in, man. I mean, if you're looking for a highlight in that game, it was Jo and not much else. So for me, I think he was a pretty easy um addition to that team. All right. Uh, we are gonna talk Guardians after the break.
