    I think they have to draft a QB. 

    If, and yes given their draft record it's a stretch, they draft smartly by positions of need, they can get a QB at 33. I doubt they grab one at 2.

    Two would mean Sanders and he's not sitting behind anyone. 

    33 you've got more options. But that 33rd pick could still be a starter at another position

    Flacco's got a one year contract.  Perfect for Sanders to sit behind.  IF...they like Sanders.  If they don't then give Flacco Hunter.

    #2 Carter , #33 Henderson , #67 Howard

    Not sure about Carter,,,I think Sanders.  Henders at 33 would be great...or any of about 3-4 more backs.  I am beginning to think Howard might be the guy.  He would certainly benefit from having Flacco in the room.  Flacco will be the best QB out there to help groom a rookie.

    He was pretty impressive talking to Gruden

    I just see his dad making noise haha. A circus. 

    Sitting absolutely makes sense, just hardly happens these days

  • With this news, I think there are two options I'd go with:

    1. draft Hunter, but he may actually be taken by Tenn. at one, unless they also trade down.

    2. Trade down. I'm not sold on taking Carter at 2 - it's a very strong Edge draft. So,

         trade down a bit, and as much as I want them to draft Tyler Warren, I also want them to draft Josh Simmons, LT. I would love Warren at maybe ten, and trade back up into the first round and get Simmons, who may not be there in the second at all. With a trade down, we could pick up an extra third round pick - giving us three. Depending on what we could get in a trade down, maybe an extra pick next year, which would help the Browns trade up to get the qb they want.

    Draft a qb with a third round pick, go defense the rest of the way.

    I just don't know, it's complicated this year. lol

    Absolutely no way Hunter goes 1. If for some insane reason he does you take Ward at 2

    Certainly could be a circus because of sitting behind Flacco.

  • I think this is the best of the remaining veteran options. Cousins doesn't excite me at all, & Flacco is familiar with the coaching staff & players.

    Let's ink Chubb by noon.

    @bob806 said:

    You know The Browns only paid Flacco 4 million, That is back up money and i believe a huge bluff directed towards the falcons (as in we are not gonna give you what you want for Cousins) so I would AssuMe that the price will come way down after the draft or even after the 1st round, So do not be surprised if Cousins is starting for us week 0ne

  • So it's looks like we're taking Travis Hunter at #2, but will we take a QB at #33?

    Dart, Milroe, and Tyler Shough all visited the Browns this week. All three will need time to develop and will not be week 1 or first half of the season starters. Dart is probably gone by #33, so unless we trade up it would be Milroe or Shough?

    I wouldn't mind - #2 Travis Hunter, #33 Dart/Milroe/Shough, #67 Quinshon Judkins - I would love to have Chubb back but we need some RB depth even if we re-sign him, he just may never be the same and we need a running game. 

    Flacco with Dart/Milroe/Shough developing behind him - WR1 Hunter, WR2 Jeudy, WR3 Tillman, TE Njoku, RB Chubb/Judkins/Ford with a hopefully revamped and healthy o-line.

    Wouldn't they have to cut or trade either Pickett or Flacco if Cousins is brought in?

    We know they can't cut DW due to cap purposes. He will most likely be on IR, so that doesn't count towards the 53 man roster. 

    Pickett, Flacco, unknown rookie ( we think). That's how I see it anyway.

    They can but most teams usually don't.

    Well, since they seem to be allergic to LBs maybe you're right lol

    Watson will be on a designation of some kind all year.  So they can carry 3.

    Right.  Rather than carry 4 QB's.  (Watson not included in this scenario)

    ...but they just traded for Pickett and gave Flacco 4 mil.

    LOL Did you forget who the owner was ?

  • Hooray... Let the Arch Manning Sweepstakes begin!

  • Sweet. Run it back.

    Is this what excited Garrett? Lol.

    I was thinking about this the other day ironically... "Why did Garrett sign back so willingly"... It can't be because of Flacco naturally.... There has to be a secret trade and sign deal set up with someone,,, It's about the only thing that makes it all make sense... ..

    Well with Flacco we just screwed ourselves out of the tanking run for Longhorn.??

  • Good signing. I was not happy when we let him go last year. I think we would have won several more games than we did if we had Flacco. 

    Whatever QB we draft can sit and learn from Joe instead of being thrown in as a rookie (hopefully).
