How's This From Fox Sports Mock

The Browns Board
27 17 1.3k
  • 4. Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor: The Browns are locked in to the fourth pick. Though you could make the argument that Colt McCoy had no weapons and he’s not to blame for yet another lost season by the Lake, I can’t see the Browns passing on Griffin if he’s available at No. 4. Washington or Miami may be willing to trade St. Louis three to four picks for Griffin’s rights, but if they don’t, he won’t escape the top four. Everyone knows about Griffin’s incredible athleticism and character, but his arm strength is vastly underappreciated. Griffin throws a fantastic deep ball. His arm can battle those late-December Cleveland winds. There’s a lot to love about Griffin; a lot of teams will be vying for him. If he ends up a Brown, the Dawg Pound will be doing flips.

    22. Cleveland Browns (via Atlanta): Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor: How do you like this one, Browns fans? You might want to dig up some Baylor Bears game film. Not only do I have Cleveland grabbing RGIII, but I’m giving Cleveland Griffin’s top target in Kendall Wright, too. The rival Bengals hit the jackpot with a rookie quarterback and a top wideout last year, riding Dalton and A.J. Green to a playoff berth this season. Perhaps RGIII and Kendall Wright can bring the same sort of magic to Cleveland. The Baylor Browns!

  • i'll puke if we make those picks.

  • Whats wrong with Wright?

    No you wouldn't.

  • I Like it hope it happens

  • If Blackmon and Luck are gone at 4 why wouldn't the Browns trade with Miami or Washington? I would in a second. We have too many holes to fill, and we wouldn't be moving to far back where we couldn't still get a great difference maker with our first pick. We would likely end up with 2 first round picks, two second round picks, and an extra first or second next year.

    I am biased though because based on what I saw of RG3 this year, I am envisioning a Vick type of player on the field. Somebody who gets injured when trying to run, isgood but not great at passing. I could be wrong, but I don't think he is the next Cam Newton.

    There are so many other QB's this year that I like who we can get later in the draft and still fill the team with stars at WR, RB (if needed), DE, and LB. And we still a QB to compete with McCoy. If we are lucky, Luck falls as RG3 rises and that leaves him sitting there at four. I know I'm dreaming.....

    yeah, you're right.

    i might puke now though seeing as the season isn't even over with yet and we've got 20 mock draft threads.

    ugh.

    agreed

  • horrible picks...

    I'm pretty sure we will get Coples and Martin...we will trade down for Coples and then back in for Martin...then pick up a WR and then a CB. Though I wouldn't mind trading down to Philly for their 15th pick both their 2nd round picks and next years first...i'm pretty sure they would do that to get RG3...imagine the haul we would have this year 2 mid first rounders and 3 2nd rounders this year and 2 first rounders next year...also possibly the bengals would trade us both their mid 1sts plus a 2nd round to get Kalil or blackmon if he drops to us...We would then have 3 firsts this year and 2 2nd rounders. The pick is way to valuable to waste on one player.

  • We need a WR with one of our 1st round picks. Blackmon, Floyd, or Wright are the only ones I think are worth first round picks, Floyd and Wright not till the second half of the first round.

    well, technically the season IS over for the browns........typical browns football, play 16 games and talk about how good u'll be next year.

    PLEASE OH PLEASE if there is a God let the stains take RG3 with the 4th pick! it's would be my valentine's, easter, birthay, and x-mas present all rolled into one if they wasted the 4th pick of the draft on him. most overrated QB since jamarcus russel and i can't think of a better place for this mistake of a NFL QB to land than the mistake by the lake.

    Jamarcus Russell was a quiter...I don't see that in RG3.

    It does get a bit nauseating that every year the draft and the prospects it holds is the highlight of the year.

    nobody saw it from jamarcus either. what u think the scouting report read something like..........."kid's a HUGE athlete, big and tall at about 6'7" 265lbs, runs a 4.6, can throw LITTERALLY from endzone to endzone, and has had a stellar college career.......oh, and he's a quitter."?

    nope.

    and jamarcus didn't start quitting until he started going through the rigors of the NFL. it wasnt' until he hit the pro's that he was exposed......same with RG3.

    i'm gonna say it right now so it's on record. what should the browns do? get peyton (if healthy, and he should be) for the next 5yrs.....earn instant legitimacy and contender status.......start BUILDING A TRADITION OF WINNING AND CONTENDING........which would make the browns MUCH more attractive to future FA's.....draft another QB and let him spend 3-4yrs learning behind one of the greatest of all times.........franchise is now set for at least a 10yr span.

    what the browns WILL (most likely) do.............draft RG3........realize just how overrated he was over the course of the next 2-3yrs of 6-10 records or worse.......and be right in the same position you are now.....top 5 draft pick wondering who you could pick that can improve your team to at least mediocre.

    somebody save this post and be ready to post it in a couple years when everyone is asking why the browns still suck.......it'll be like reading an original scroll from Nostradamus.

    Way to be positive.

    Trying to get Peyton, at his age, with the doubts on his health, with his high price tag, is a "Redskins" move. "Win now at all costs! Mortgage the future while we're at it."

    This kind of sad-sack pessimism (among other things) is why the Browns organization will never stabilize.

    Draft RGIII if available, draft the best WR they can with their next pick, and just focus on the offense for the rest of the picks.

    Though Seneca was not great statistically (and had some of the same issues behind the line that Colt did), there were some games where at long last, a substantial drive turned into touchdowns. I'd rather see if RGIII can do the same from a younger vantage point. Peyton is an NFL legend, but the Browns buying up vets for the sake of now, instead of the future is a horribly, sterotypically "Cleveland" thing to do. It's time for some change hereabouts. Besides, I see a "Peyton on some other team" situation looking a lot like Favre in Minnesota. Let's avoid that.

    Well, that is YOUR evaluation of RGIII. Why in hell should anyone put any stock in your opinion on the quality of a draft pick considering that people who do this for a living rate him very highly. Pray tell, why is your opinion more worthy than yours? Answer: its not. It is just your ignorance speaking.

    Thank you...I guess some people just don't like RG3 that much, but give no reason why except because he's in the spread...

    You're thinking from a STEELERS perspective. Now if you didn't have Ben, and Charlie Batch was your starting qb, sure it would make sense to get Manning.

    One thing for sure I got out of Holmgren and Heckert's presser- they're thinking LONG TERM. Peyton Manning is a short term band-aid, admittedly a very attractive band aid- BUT. You're smart enough to know football history, so tell be what Joe Montana got Kansas City- couple of playoff years, and then off to tend the vineyard in California. Sorry, I want a Browns team that's going to put a can of whuup-ass on the Steelers for the next decade or so, not the next two years.

    You seriously think Manning's good for another 5 years? The guy has had a cervical fusion, and IF he comes back, he's living on borrowed time. I'm sure he can make a few million a year doing SONY commercials at far less risk of paralysis.

    Now I'm far from sold on spread qbs making it in the NFL- but Griffin does have a few things going for him- he's very accurate, has as much arm (if not more) than Andrew Luck, as mobile as Cam Newton, and has one thing Jamarcus Russell was seriously lacking in- smarts. RG III got accepted into law school.

    The best thing that could happen to the Browns is Luck- RG III- and Kalil go 1-2-3, and Blackmon falls right into our lap. Better yet, RG III is still there, and Snyder the buffoon offers us his first and second to take Griffin. Seems like Mangini knew what the was doing when he traded away the rights to Sanchez, and H&H are every bit as smart qb wise.

  • If Blackmon isn't there, RG3/Wright is my ideal draft.

    You mean when favre took them to the nfc championship game and nearly won? I'd be ok with that.
