    Wild ass guess - Kyle Mccord?

    You've earned yourself one Milk Dud, sir.   Go treat Yoself.

    edit:  Watching and charting McCord.  I'm willing to hear compelling arguments on how Cam Ward is head and shoulders above Kyle....  But I'm not seeing it.   This likely speaks to the shallow QB class that this will be.  Because Kyle is a late to UDFA in any other year. 

     Both have incredibly similar games within and outside the pocket. 

    edit:  Let me be clear by saying both are physically capable.  However their passing mechanics are going to hold them back in the NFL.  They also both need quite a bit of work on the eye side of things.  'Cuse offense really let Kyle rip and tear with volume. 

     Neither are day 1 starters and need significant time to revamp their footwork and delivery fundamentals.

    Ward had many games where the game was on the line and he produced.  That's not really a stat that is tracked so far as I know.  It would be interesting to see how many of these QBs were able to put together drives when needed.  It's subjective and hard to quantify but I'd be curious if it was analyzed.

    I can work on it, but I can also tell you that that Miami and 'Cuse have faced a defensive strength of schedule that floats near the 60's.  

  • Haven't read through the whole thread but what do you guys think about Abdul Carter, the edge from Penn State for our 1st pick? Wouldn't he be more of an immediate  impact player opposite Myles and also insurance if Myles demands a trade?

    I would take him at 2. There are scouts saying he is a standup outside backer in a 3-4.  I think he is a physical specimen with elite speed to impact a game especially partnered with Myles.  Scouting reports say he could use his hands better - something I’m sure that can be coached up at the next levels   For Carters sake Cleveland would be an ideal spot for him.

    Has a character issue though.

    i want no part of these QBs. I like Will Howard middle end of Day 3. Dart looked really good in his Bowl game I don’t this he’s worth a first round or even a 2nd round pick though.

  • @usfbrown said:

    Agreed. Generation talent means once in a generation.  You rarely have those in the draft.

    Cam Ward is very good and could become great if the Browns organization was top notch, presently it is too disorganized to nurture talent. Lamarr Jackson wasn't considered a great QB in his draft but look at where he is now with a stable organization and good coaching.

    Lamar had an elite NFL tool coming into the NFL run and escapability that he relied on to this day until he developed years later as a passer.

    Believe it or not, when he won the Heisman at Louisville - most of his highlight reels weren't for his scrambling like the NFL likes to show - they were more about his big plays in the passing game.  People forget that about him.

    Wasn't valued by the draft "experts" though. Only Baltimore did their proper homework and selected him 32 in the draft.

    There was a Louisville Cardinal fan who used to be on here, and in the off-season of Darnold vs Baker vs Allen vs Rosen this guy was the only person pimping Lamar. I don't recall anyone else on here even remotely giving Jackson a second look.

    If there's a market for the QB still on the board at #2 (assuming it is Ward) yes, yes and yes.

    I remember him, he also wanted us to pick up Greg Roman and run an option heavy offense.  

    Obviously it's had great NFL success regular season.  Until you realize that Lamar has one playoff win, and several *real* bad exits including first round bounces his first two years.

    He's Exhibit 1 for what I've said for years:

    At the end of the day, for a QB to have the ultimate success, he has to learn how to win from the pocket. To be able to stand back there, make his reads and go through his progressions. 

    Lamar Jackson has been a phenomenal regular season QB.

    Depending on matchups, might bet against BLT round 1.

    i forgot who that person was,but i do remember his love affair with roman

  • I'll take Lamar, his 1 playoff win, and several real bad exits over whatever this product we're watching is.

    I'm on board with giving up the pick and waiting until we draft again at #1 in 2 years for the perfect QB - Arch Manning.

    You can build a winning organization with that though, watch Hard Knocks to see the how far behind we are in the AFC North in that regard. You need several winning seasons in a row to compete for a SB not a flukey season here and there which is what we've done the last few years.

    He could very well declare after next season - so for the 2026 Draft. Next season will be his third college season.

    And you aren't the first person I've heard/read talk about tanking for Arch Manning, but he's had all of 95 college passes so far. Great genes, though. 

  • So, I'm reading that people actually want us to suck for a year or two more.  Because the QB grass will be greener in a year or two.  That's nice.  In the meantime, can you give me the winning lottery numbers?  

    What makes anyone think that we will be the only team in contention to draft a QB next year...or the year after?  

    4 more moths before we find out what we do.....

    This year's QB class is not good. This isn't news.

    It's the Browns.  I'm sure they'll draft a stud LT, shore up the offensive line, get an amazing kicker, and a stud punt/kick returner.  We can still watch putrid football but we'll be able to brag to all our friends about how we have the best O line in the league.
