  • Huh?

  • I know I'll get slated for this, but if Manziel can prove his ability to throw in cold weather, take him at 4. Take Beckham, Yankey, Skov and Hyde to boot.

  • Take who you believe is the best player on the board, which is Clowney or Watkins.

    Whatever you do, don't take the weasel that gets injured from college hits.

  • If we take BPA all the way, then I doubt we end up with a QB at any point, before maybe the fourth round when we look at someone like McCarron or Boyd. That said, I'm not against giving Hoyer a shot and taking Clowney, just think Manziel is more likely to succeed than Hoyer.

  • btw, London Brown - where in London do you watch the games?

    I like this list except for I take Christian Jones from FSU over Skov.

  • Don't panic. Draft Watkins and Jordan Matthews in the 1st round.Hyde or Seastrunk in the 3rd and a TE in later rounds.Give Hoyer plenty of weapons to see if he is the guy.Next year will be QB heavy.

    i agree with the don't panic plan, but i also agree with jeffinwv, if clowney is there you gotta take him unless someone comes at you with a trade option that you can't refuse.

    there are other VERY good WRs besides watkins in this upcoming draft. i like the kid, i agree that he is a playmaker, but can we get someone with a little more height? half of the TD passes thrown in the end zone nowadays are to guys that are hovering over their CB matchups.

    Same on the gamepass. Just thinking it might be nice to watch the game with other browns fans some time.

    So take a first round WR, then a first round WR? Are you secretly Matt Millen? 😉

    Clowney seemed to lay down this past year,Albert Haynesworth comes to mind.

  • This is a tricky draft...but it seems all the draft experts don't seem to be punishing clowney for this last years performance

    well most people were telling him not to play at all because of injury concern and he'd lose millions (RB lattimore from his same school blew his knees out in 2012 and prob never play again.....and he was a heisman trophy hopeful and would have been the first RB picked).

    you can't use this past year's performance as his measuring stick. the dude lights it up when it comes time to play.

  • Well considering the front office has been linked to Manziel, I assume that's the direction they would go. Even if Bortles AND Bridgewater are on the board.

    I agree they should be gone - got a feeling they won't be, but they should be. But that doesn't mean we need to have two new first rounders to replace them. One, sure, and maybe a later pick in the third/fourth, but we have other areas of concern that need addressing too.

    Hard to say how he was influnced.Just like the idea of adding 2 playmakers especially with Gordon being 1 strike away.

    Take the 2 top playmakers in the 1st.You still have 8 picks left.
