What will the new Head Coach do?

    in my mock draft I stick to tons of OLs and WRs and ignore QBs.

    But is the new HC going to ignore the QB's in the draft? 

    It's not impossible that he might like Watson, or Sanders.   I find it hard to believe that he'd have much use for Stef's QB, Gabriel.  But something tells me that a new HC would want to put the whole QB thing/mess behind him just as soon as possible.  I bet he'd lobby hard to trade into position to get one of the top two QB's.  I think in FA he'd have them find a serviceable OLineman and WR to kick start the process of building those two groups.  And then double down on those two groups at the draft.  After selecting the new QB of course.

    I happen to believe so.

    Totally agree!  The Browns had the 2nd overall pick in 2025; and with that supply and demand of QBs - which one of the QBs drafted in round 1 looks like the right guy?  Sanders outplayed the 1st overall pick 2 weeks ago.  The difference in that game?   Running game/OL 

    IMO, there isn't a QB in this draft after Mendoza at #1 overall that's equipped to game change Cleveland from the on-going dumpster fire. However, good luck surviving a pass protection without Offensive Tackles. The Raiders clearly need Mendoza while the Jets have the most trade bait for the Raiders' mess: 2 First round picks & 1 Second round pick in 2026 + 3 First round pick & 1 second round pick in 2027. Our offense is already tough to watch with the current OL and there's needs emerging on the Defense like CB, S, DT (despite a 5th overall in 2025 and a 2nd round pick in 2024), LB aside from needing at least 2 Tackles, 1-2 Guards, 1-2 WRs.  Depleting all these needs as well as the best chance to protect the major investment for the top QB who won't be prepared for the culture shock of Jimmy's business makes us as bad as the Raiders.  Last time I saw a leader with this kind of protection it was Saddam Hussein with two 67 year old security guards taking on American troops.  

    A lot of top QB prospects with remaining eligibility are looking at how the teams at the top of the NFL draft are equipped to protect them as well as what kind of talent they'll have on board to throw to.  USC's QB Jayden Maiava just re-signed his contract with USC to return for his senior year.  I'm hearing a very well advised Arch Manning will stay in college as well.  Let's face it - there's some $ now in college football that can compete with the NFL Rookie Salary Cap especially for NFL franchises that have been horrific at developing young QBs.  Baker probably learned most of his good habits with the Rams & Bucs with good/great offensive coaches, talented WR Corps and cohesive/reliable OLs.  They definitely restored/strengthened the confidence he lost in Cleveland & Carolina.  The volume of turnover here in his 1st 3 years was a joke. This is definitely a case of in order to know where you are going - you need to understand where you have been. Are we firing just a HC or a HC and GM this time?  I can hardly wait to hear we just need to be patient 1 more time...

  • I believe the new Browns HC will draft a qb. 

    Sanders has talent, but he seems a few? years away from

    getting away from the ingrained faults he has, if he ever does. 

    It won't be the first or second round. 

    A name like.... Mark Gronkowski. qb.

    Has the arm, love for the game, mobility, dual threat,

    accuracy, decision making....

    like a poor man's Josh Allen, says I.

    Without all the baggage that Sanders has....

    I wonder how high he will go. My bet - higher than 

    Sanders did. 4th round? Late third? Any guesses?

    A guy who will turn 25 during his rookie season who threw for all of 1500 or so yards, 8 touchdowns and 6 interceptions at Iowa in what would be like his sixth year of college isn’t a poor man’s Josh Allen. 
     

    Yes, he played in BFE South Dakota during his college career, and he’s white, but that’s about it. Not sure how cal comes up with his patented “this player has a love for the game” but I’d be honestly surprised he gets drafted. We’ll see.

    I would opt for the pine needle tea. Dandelions are out of season. Pine needles never go out of season.

    Yeah but then you’d have to deal with figuring out how to make pine needle tea. Fuck all that.

    It probably is. It’s just steeping dried pine needles in hot water yeah? Not everyone has pine trees on their property though. I can already tell by Tiamat’s counteroffer that he doesn’t want to deal with making pine needle tea, haha.

    My Brother lives by the Holden Arboretum so I can get all of the Pine needles I desire.. Not that I would do that... Incidentally... Pine Cones make a great fire starter as does Fatwood..

    This is Fatwood from a Pine tree that I harvested last summer... In the center just below the outer bark is natural pine tar which is an awesome fire extender..

    I don't know, man. I despise root beer.   Apparently I'm un-American.  

    Root beer.

    I've cut back on soda - high fructose corn syrup etc etc.

    I can make white pine needle sprite. It actually does work.
