Official Browns QB Prospect Discussion!

  • Bridgewater is really ranked #1? Wow.

    I've watched him only one time, against Kentucky, but I have to say he looks like a future dink and dunker in the NFL. Saw him miss many downfield throws in that game to receivers who had beaten their guy. He seemed very inaccurate to me beyond 15 yards which makes me doubt his effectiveness at the next level.

    Unfortunately, Lombardi is a football magazine kinda analyst so Bridgewater probably is our next QB.

    Has anybody on the board seen a lot of Bridgewater? Any opinions other than the talking heads?

  • David Fales is absolutely going off on Minnesota right now, on the road. Derek Carr had a monster night last night.

    Bridgewater

    Boyd

    Mariota (anybody see ANYTHING wrong with him?)

    Hundley

    Fales

    Carr

    McCarron

    Who else is in the sweepstakes? It looks like one of those years when 3-4 guys will go in round one... except that only a few teams clearly need their Guy (Browns, Jax, maybe Oakland?).

    EDIT: Good place to start...

    So far McCarron is atop my list, but yet to see Hundley or Fales...

    CBS takes it's list from here... http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/probe.php?genpos=QB&draftyear=2014&sortby=tsxpos&order=ASC

    Visually less appealing, but more informative.

    We could probably get Kenny guiton in the fourth round. I'm only half joking.

    Guyton has impressed me as well. Great poise and has made some ridiculously acurate passes. That said the Bucks still haven't played anyone.

    Derek Carr looked great last night. Looks to have the potential to be a good NFL QB. Keep an eye on him.

    Big numbers to be sure, but I did not see great. Decent size and nice poise, but I saw a questionable arm and some very wobbly throws.

    I haven't seen much of him either, but I'm not sold. I saw pretty much what you did.

    So far, I like Mariota & Hogan.

    No problems... except that you are the first poster to ever make a mistake on this Forum... 😉 Oh well...

    Also saw the KY game... 2nd time I've seen him and both games gave me the same "Nice, but..." impression. And I cannot get past the feeling he will break in half the first time an NFL DE blindsides him. Just looks like a stick figure to me.

  • Bridgewater has an elite NFL arm. He showed it off on some throws yesterday (in his one half of play). He has a compact release, makes every throw, consistent spiral, lots of zip, crazy accurate. Great kid, very mobile (although not Boyd or Mariota), an almost consensus #1 overall unless a leg or arm falls off.

    The Browns are not only going to take a QB, it's going to be in the top 5 overall. They want a franchise guy, not a maybe guy, so they'll target that one and get him. They have the assets. Guys I think who have at least a shot at going that high...

    Bridgewater (lock #1)

    Boyd

    Mariota

    Hundley

    I really think that's it... but after that it's probably Fales and Carr with a shot at rising. But I personally believe Chud will want a guy like Newton who can move and run some RO (although he won't run his guy as much as Chip would).

    If the Browns can get to Bridgewater, I think that's as close to a sure thing as you can get this early in the year. I'm sure Chud would pretty much shit himself with joy.

  • This sort of supports my list from above. They both have the Jags taking Bridgewater at #1 and the Browns taking Hundley at #2... but there's not guarantee he comes out. Boyd is top 10 and one has Mariota at 4. I think those are the guys I'd be scouting for the Browns long-term answer (or latest one).

  • By the way, both guys at Walter Football (Walt and Charlie) have the Browns taking Tajh Boyd at #3. They site his big arm and great wheels. Bridgewater, natch, goes #1 in both to Jacksonville.

    Mariota and Hundley are the Wild Cards. If they declare, these four are in a wild scramble for the few teams looking to draft quarterbacks up high.

  • Please no McCarron and please no Murray

  • With this win maybe this thread will die for a bit.

    228 days till the draft the human body can't take that kind of punishment.

  • We do not want bridge water.Louisville has a week schedule,he isn't playing against very good defenses

  • Hundley is my guy. I think he is going to be a really good pro. Bridgewater looks shaky. Not sure heart is in it.

  • Wow, do I disagree with you on Bridgewater. Not sure what you're talking about. He's missing basically nothing.

  • Bridgewater is the man, we need him. Let's just hope Jax or Oak don't get the #1 pick and maybe we can trade up.

    Definitely missing a few lb's...

    Wouldn't be mad about it for but I sure would like Roby late 1st. But would probably be smarter to go offense early. Free agency will be interesting this year. Any good Corner's gonna be available?

  • Oh, we'll add a corner, for sure. Might be free agency. Also a right side blocker, WR, and a RB... in addition to that QB.
