Dang. Got this thread going already. Nice work on the thread xskarma. We appreciate the effort!
Three of the four AFC East teams with second-to-worst odds for winning the Super Bowl? Sounds about right.
Wait until we trade up to #2 and snag Josh Rosen and he defeats Brady and is the 2nd coming. /wishfulthinking
Nah, all signs point to them wanting Darnold.
I can't believe Rosen being independent and possibly an evil, filthy "coach questioner" is making teams hesitate on him. IMO, he's easily the best QB in the draft. But rumor is the Browns want Darnold.
Hard to believe a RB could go #1 in a draft with at least four QBs with 1st round grades.
Thats, you know, not what I meant. Scouting isn't exactly a mathematical science and the Browns aren't the only ones making massive blunders. Alex Smith was #1 overall, Rodgers a late first rounder in the same draft, RG III was #2, Cousins a fourth rounder for the same team, Russell Wilson a third rounder, JaMarcus...
I meant, that if even after doing due diligence two QBs on their board are too close to call, or different deciders in the building prefer different picks, then you can seriously consider taking the best player available with #1 and take the guy 'who's left' with #4.
Looking at the twitter gossip, both Darnold and Rosen have had GMs spotting red flags in their scout reports.
They've certainly lacked the interest and appeal we had with Wentz/Goff, or Luck/RG3.
Cleveland has shown their inability to develop a rookie QB in recent years, unless there's a complete no-brainer in the draft (which IMO there is not) I'm not 100% sold on them drafting a QB at 1. Hell, they might even stick with Kizer, this IS the Browns after all.
It's got to the point where trying to predict Cleveland's draft board is as futile as predicting the 7th round.
"Marty Hurney named GM" - Carolina Panthers
Wonder how long he will have job security with new ownership looming.
Can't really predict what the Browns will do because there's nothing to base it on, its different people every year.
John Dorsey is a very traditional GM. He'll pick a QB. It's more the question what they will do at 4. Taking Barkley at 4 is far less of a stretch. If you believe he's a once in a generation talent then that's definitely an option.
I really like Barkley. He killed Michigan last season. But, I don;t think I'd take him at 4. There's probably defensive talent on the board at that point that I'd rather have. But it would be tempting.
