    I'm not- for a couple of reasons- #1 being I'm running out of years real quick. #2 I don't buy into qb hype anymore. #3 If you bust on a top five prospect it doesn't set you back just one year, it sets you back a couple- like Sanchez with the Jets, Harrington with the Lions, Lordy, Wee-done got more chances than he deserved, just based on his draft status.

    So if you like high risk factors, go bet $100k on the Browns winning the Super Bowl in 2015. Duh- like pay attention- often times that lower rated guy turns out to be the better option.

    The bust factor is another three seasons in the dumpster. Care to be a Redskins fan right now and see your #2 overall go to the Rams, when you have serious holes that need fixing?

    I disagree that busting on a QB sets you back any more than busting on any other position. It used to, when the teams and players you mentioned, were signed to those crazy contracts. Not upgrading at QB will set us back as much as missing on a guy at 4. I am not advocating a trade up, but im also not dismissing the idea. Duh the lower rated guys turn out to be the better prospects huh....hahaha. You can look up those numbers and get back to me. I wouldnt bet 100K on the Browns winning the Super Bowl if we had Peyton Manning.

    and you would lose (unless you took the spread which would prob be cleve as a 2 touchdown underdog).

    I think if Mariota was in this draft he may be a top 3 prospect. He definitely has flaws though

    With that said, we definitely can't rely on Mariota next year. We need to worry about this year. Can't predict how the cards will fall with him and base our future on it.

    Also, Mariota plays in a bit of a different offense than what he'd be playing here.

    I really dont understand why any fan of this team would not want a QB. Are we really that scared of a bust? Think we'd be numb to it by now.

    I dont understand it either, they must love sucking and having this discussion every year. Lets wait until next year they say, better prospects then, well that means another year of sucking in order to have a chance to grab that guy. Heck I wouldnt be adverse to some creative trading where we trade some mid round picks this and high picks next yr to have 3 1st round picks in this draft including 2 in the top 4, getting a QB, Watkins and maybe some O-line help at 26.

    Pretty much this.

  • You know what I hate the thought of? The Browns addressing their QB problem the same way they have for the last 10 years. Ironically, the same way many of you are advocating.

  • I WOULD BE SOOO EFF'N PISSED OFF IF THEY BLOW THE ENTIRE DRAFT TO MOVE UP 1 or 2 SPOTS!

    This draft is deep with a lot of solid players in the middle to late first round. IF ANYTHING, i would TRADE DOWN to grab a few more play makers and defensive players or even another few first rounders next season. I like next season's QB coming out.

    same here.

    to all the people that say "wah! i don't understand the people that don't want a QB wah! wah with our first pick wah!!

    doesn't it make sense to have the team QB-ready when we do throw all of our chips on the table? this team is no where near that. our right side of the OL is like running through (for defenders) open barn doors. we don't have a #2 corner, we need another safety, another ILB, we need a RB and a big time WR. so that's 5 holes that need to be filled with NFL ready guys. so maybe we use more than half of the other picks to draft up in certain situations.

    giving the ball right now to any of these guys will end up with them being the next tim couch (even though we DO have a LT now).

    BUILD THE TEAM!! hand the reigns over to the next pretty boy next year and have hoyer ride it out this year. who knows he might surprise everyone and there is NO reason that you just dismiss a guy because YOU want your boy toy.

    will you all applaud when johnny gets plowed into the ground like couch did?

    Again to make this claim you have to suck in the 2014 to have a real shot at any QBs next yr. So you are advocating that we lose and maybe blow things up again.

    Every team has holes, the QB is the most important hole to fill, we also haev close to 50 million in cap space to address some of thoes holes prior to the draft.

    not as many as seattle did when they drafted wilson, or san fran when they drafted kaep.

    the only QB that got drafted recently to a shitty team was luck, but none of these guys could sniff his jock. RG3 hasn't won shit because the redskins are full of holes and got hurt the first year when he tried to be 'the running QB'. then they said you have to stay in the pocket and he sucked.

    Luck didn't really get drafted to a crappy team - with manning they were playoff contenders, had to go with crappy QB play for a year and got beaten every week, then took Luck and became a playoff team again. I'd say RG3 got drafted to a worse team.

    Yes but remember those situations too. San Fran has Alex Smith who was playing decently, they weren't in dire need of QB upgrade because they had a decent signal caller, Kaepernick was a good value pick for them. Same with Wilson, they had just signed a FA QB that everyone thought would be the starter and Wilson beat him out. We have Hoyer, who could be something or may not, he played 2 whole games for us, really tough to tell.

    Right. The Colts did a purposeful dive just to get Luck. It was purely dishonest on their part, but the league allowed them to get away with it.

    I think the Colts example just shows how important a QB really is, without Manning they were awful, lost. With a good QB they could compete, you can't win without one and ignoring the position makes no sense to me.

    Yea, but I don't think they were as bad as they showed. They obviously were nowhere near as good, but they also tanked to get that bad.

  • the colts w/o manning was the like the browns with weeden behind center.

    So you're saying that with the right QB next year this team could go 11-5 or so?

  • >>>>>>>>>>>Not upgrading at QB will set us back as much as missing on a guy at 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<

    But making a bad choice at 4 means we miss out on upgrading the quarterback and getting a good player. And it means we're stuck with the bum for years. And, lots of ands arent there, odds are great against any of the top 3 being blue chip quarterbacks.

    Much more than the odds against the top line backer receiver or tackle.

    In your opinion the odds are great none are blue chippers. In my opinion these top 3 are better prospects than any QBs last year, and possibly next year. Even if we hit on the top WR or LB, theres a chance we pick top 5 again next year. If we hit on the QB were battling for a playoff spot. I think our roster is in the perfect spot to take a gamble on a QB.

    Well like I always say that's why they bet on these games. If you are in fact correct in your opinion then that would be the way to go.
