A possible cure for our QB woes

The Browns Board

  • I'd go for the right side of the offensive line b4 a QB and plug a hole or two on D. Maybe spend the 2nd round on a good RB........You guys have invested too much at the QB position to make a guy who isnt proven a double digit millionaire. Build around DA or BQ and in a few years go after that franchise QB.

    I hate to agree with a steelers fan... but this is the way to do it..they need playmakers...RB ..a stud..and a long FAST WR...but id go SUE 1st round without thinking twice if he is on the board...

    is it bad to root for losses 🙂

    jokes!

  • McCoy is a good QB also but I dont know if I would spend a first round on a QB at this point. We do have many needs.

    +1

    And a pretty piss poor draft class at QB. If not McCoy, then draft a pass rusher.

  • RATLIFF RATLIFF!!!!

  • More Locker film:

  • I hear Tyrelle Pryor's coming out! 😆 :lol: 😆

  • T-

    I like Locker very much but he's very raw. I don't see him as a guy who's going to be able to start right away. He's mentally tough and has leadership skills but his mechanics aren't great. I think he's perhaps as high as a late 2nd rounder but could be as low as a 4th rounder.

    If you want immediate help, then you'll have a debate on your hands. Bradford is damaged, Pike is raw and oft-injured, Tebow is a questionable NFL talent at the QB position. Clausen has a weak arm.

    I love McCoy but I'm a Texas alum so I can't really be objective. Here are some things that I do like. He's a leader who's started four years. He's used to pressure. He's won big game after big game. He's very athletic and aware on the field. He's very accurate (80% for a whole season last year). He's tough. He can make ALL of the throws. He may not be to your liking though.

    Locker could benefit from Bradford and Pike being damaged. I wouldn't be surprised if he shot up the draft boards close to the draft if he has a good combine.

    I'll wager he is a top 10 pick...no question!!!
  • Is he coming out. I thougt he was a Junior and he might want to stay another year with a real coach and be the number one pick in 2011.

    He has great leadership and drive. But he is just learning how to play in the pocket. I think he is a year or two project for a good coaching staff. I think he will be a good pro, but not one you would start as a rookie. If you draft him I think you need to have a stop gap QB.

    CBA....if he comes out...it will be because of the CBA.... I think he'll stay(gut) but if he does come out...I wouldn't even field calls if he is there when we pick!

  • I do like him. He is a great player on a terrible team. He and he alone keeps them in games. I do have to agree that he can be great, if he stays healthy.

    Draft a RT with a top 5 Pick??/ are you on Meds? If we have a top 5 pick the only way to justify that kind of $ is LT or QB.... or a freak DE

  • locker is a very good qb and i would love to have him....but i like clausen a lot to and like to see him in orange and brown

    I hope you're right. I HATE taking QBS with your first pick and I have been hoping like hell that Locker drops to the 3rd round. I really like him but can't justify taking him with either of our first two picks. 1st round or the first of our 2nd rounders.

    I actually agree with you Solon. We can get a RT as late as the 3rd round. We need too many "skill position" guys on this team to draft an OL in the first. But I hope Mangini pulls another first day trade to get another 3rd rounder. I would love to move down a few spots in the 1st to get another 2nd or 3rd.
