  • So the Packers won the Super Bowl? What was the score?

  • 3 B1G QBs top 10? Damn

  • No way is Tyler Boyd going that low. And is the Connor kid RB from Pitt highly regarded at all?

  • Now do you see the Farmer QB Plan.. The surrounding pieces now in place. 2016 A QB and Finally a Featured WR not named Josh or Gordon.. I Think 😉

    Shawn Oakman is scary.

    He's no Joey Bosa.

  • I don't know how good Oakman actually is. Before that picture came out, no one knew who he was.

    I don't think he's very good at all. That's also not what I said. I said he was scary.

  • I would be worried that, in this scenario, the Redskins would take Cardale before he got to us. They don't want RGIII anymore, it's seems clear they would want Cardale, right?

  • Wait, how about 2017? Never too early? 😵

    He comes out in 2017. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2018/DE 😁

  • Below are some of the 2016 mock drafts floating around the internet already. Obviously, these are all way, way, way premature. However, nearly all of them (with the exception of one) have the Browns taking a quarterback.

    Most mocks have us taking Cardale Jones, while one SI.com has us taking Hackenberg. The consensus seems to be that Manziel isn't going to turn it around this year, McCown won't recreate his wonder year from Chicago - and Vegas believes our "rush heavy" offense isn't going to net us very much success without a viable QB to keep defenses honest.

  • why would someone have us taking another DT? That being said i'd take Bosa in a heartbeat. I hope we can swing something to get him.

  • Irrelevent anyway.....the Browns will be drafting in the late 20s.

    These are based off of Vegas odds or this year's draft order.

    Also, no we won't.

  • Next year's QB crop could include: Connor Cook, Cardale Jones, Christian Hackenberg, Jared Goff, and Cody Kessler.

    I think that's FAR superior to this years crop.

  • why would someone have us taking another DT? That being said i'd take Bosa in a heartbeat. I hope we can swing something to get him.

    Superior, but no "can't miss" prospects.... again... At least none that can be seen from Spring, 2015.

    Something to do with Big Phil's contract being up I'd guess.

  • When I saw that SI had Shawn Oakman ahead of Bosa I threw up in my mouth a bit

  • A'Shawn Robinson *drooling*

  • Look at how many absolute studs OSU has this year. Go Bucks!

  • This is way premature. They have no idea how good any of our players will be, this is a whole new team. Three QB's that we haven't really seen yet, Manziel, Shaw and McCown. The new WR Duo, plus a few new faces, a new running game featuring new TEs and an improved offensive line. I haven't even talked about the Defense yet- but my BOLD prediction is that they will finish top 3 in the NFL. This team is going to be better by a lot than they were last year. The pundits and critics are to dimwitted and near thinking to see any different. We picked 12th this year and we could have been even higher than that if we didn't sustain the injuries and the late season meltdown. But, think of it this way, if we didn't tank at the end of the season we would never had been in position to draft the players that we did. We got a lot-lot better. 11+ Wins, my lowside prediction.

  • If JF ends up taking over the starting position he will likely struggle the first half of the season as all new starting QB's almost invariably do. So drafting inside at least the top 15 is likely to occur.
