Grayson Works Out For Browns

jrb12711

What type of offense did Grayson play in during college? Honestly, if we're going to use a mid round pick on a QB I'd rather try and find a guy who was in a more pro-style offense.

I would guess statistically more defenders and OL work out in the top 3 rounds than QBs, particularly on a defensive team with a defensive head coach, but I don't actually know.

I'm sure they do. But what I'm saying is...how do past players and coaches have any effect on the success of any players we pick?

Compared to the other QB's in this draft, Grayson comes from one of the more pro-style O's .....

Of all the QB prospects this year, he was the only one who played in a traditional pro style offense.

I think he'd make a great addition to the Browns in the second round.

I mean, look at the qb's the Browns have drafted in the first....no wait, don't

get depressed, it's SPRING !

They actually met with Grayson a coupla weeks ago(and actually took him out to dinner the evening of his pro-day).......not sure if they've met with him a second time or if MKC is just really slow to report the first meeting.....

but if they just met with him again.....then they must have more than a mild passing interest......

Oh cool, I didn't know that at all and for some reason couldn't find it well through Google. I can safely say this is a dude I knew NOTHING about until his name started popping up about a month ago. I've heard rumblings though that his style of play compares to Romo.

I'm not sure if I'd call it a traditional pro style by any teams. It reminds me a lot of what they do in Denver. Base 11 personnel.

Some pistol, some twin spits, 5 wide and at times under center with a single back.

Grayson reminds me of Manning, and not in a good way.

He's 23(?) and he already looks as athletic as a 40-year old with neck issues. I like what goes on in Grayson's head, but athletically he leaves something to be desired.

He is 23 but turns 24 in May.

NFL.com compares him to Landry Jones, which is far from impressive....

Then your priorities on what matters when selecting a QB are backwards. If whats between his ears looks good, his athletic ability is a far distant 2nd place issue.

If that is the case it might be worth throwing a late 3rd or 4th to get him. You never know what guys who work in NFL conditioning may do.

Mannion was under center more than any of them in a pro set offense. Neither solve STarting QB issue IMO. Grayson is 3-4 Rnd. Mannion 5-6 Rnd.

Come on, you know that. All of human nature is built on it.

Grayson would just be a waste. Either draft Mariota or stick with Manziel for one more year. No point taking Petty, Hundley, Grayson, etc. Since they all have question marks, like Manziel, but do not possess his upside.

miktoxic

manziel is the only one with an upside that you mentioned? upside to what, falling off the wagon?

every player in every draft since the beginning of drafts have had question marks. dude even winston and mariota have question marks.

Last season when everything else was in place and working well together we won games with Brian Hoyer at quarterback. So what does Brian Hoyer do better than Josh McCown? In which areas is he a superior player? If it's nothing why couldn't that same success happen again?

If McCown is the opening day starter.

WSS

Can't argue with that.

In Chicago WITH a good running game - McCown was a very pleasant surprise and well liked by the fans. His critics like to over-emphasize the Tampa experience; BUT his running game ranked about 31st for a good portion of the year. I think our offense and running game in particular is built more like Chicago's was - only I like our oline way better.
