    My mock draft had Mack and Carr or Bridgewater in 2014. But Carr and Bridgewater would probably still be on the bench. I know nobody saw the Justin Gilbert thing coming.

    Right now they have the Browns taking a quarterback in 2016 but I still want Joey Bosa and a wide receiver who is big, strong and can fight off the defender. What good is a QB with a receiving core under 5'8". Every team has a little guy but a whole team,of little guys isn't working.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

      Exactly- since 1999, how many guys have we cut gone on to have stellar careers elsewhere?

      The primary problem has been horrendous drafting.The list of our Pro Bowl players of late is mighty short. How good would the Browns defense be right now if we had JJ Watt and Clay Matthews on it? They were both on the board when we picked- and passed. 🙁

      When it comes down to drafting, a blind monkey throwing darts at a dartboard would do better.

      I truly believe the Trent Richardson pick will go down as a top ten draft mistake in the history of the NFL- pending on how Manziel does or doesn't pan out. Doubling down, and screwing up twice?

        I find it funny how so many hated this guy on this board.

        It was Manziel Manziel and more Manziel.

        Carr is a stud.

        A cornerstone QB for the next decade.

        How da hell did we miss him?

        2 reasons.

        A homeless bum's advice.

        And a 'Wreck the league' phone call.

            don't know hoorta. are you talking about just the brown's org top ten or nfl top ten? cuz there's a boatload ahead of TR (which i didn't like as well).

            at least we didn't give up four picks to draft the guy and then have him on the bench as a 'jarred from subway' disciple wit.h a clipboard just getting paid for nuthin.

              I'm not even sure the Redskins are letting RGIII hold a clipboard at this point.

                  I'll stand by my assertion Mik. Now we do have Browns busts like Mike Junkin, and Craig Powell. (We didn't give up multiple picks however, and they both were drafted lower)

                  Looking at Bleacher Report's top 50- that did jog my memory about some all time stinkers like Akilli "worm burner" Smith. (Credit that term to Sam Snead on golf- Akilli had a propensity to throw bullets into the dirt 5-10 yards in front of the intended receiver.)

                  http://bleacherreport.com/articles/909380-the-50-biggest-nfl-draft-busts-of-all-time/page/51

                  Trent belongs in that sucky company. They have Lawrence Phillips @ #4, Ki-Jana Carter @ #11, Blair Thomas @ #13, and Curtis Enis @ #22. I couldn't put Trent as better than any one of those bums. BTW, Enis only rushed for 400 yards less than Richardson, and had an identical 3.3 ypc.

                    In a lot of ways...he's worse than Ki-Jana and Enis because they both got hurt and were never the same (can't remember if that happened to Thomas as well). Trent is completely healthy, just not very good. Kinda like who's worse, Ryan Leaf or RGIII? Well.....RGIII got hurt and lost is biggest weapon. Leaf just sucks. I think the guys, like Richardson, who are completely healthy but out of the league are worse than the guys who can say that injury made them lose a step or more.

                        Junkin has to be #1, seven starts in his crummy career- and nothing else according to PFR. Courtney Brown made the BR list, as did Quinn.

                        Smokin' the Green is close in suckitude- but remember, we're talking lower drafted, and no picks thrown in to get the bum.

                        BTW, you're not considering what a player did AFTER they left the Browns, if you want to put Faine, Wimbley, and Warren on the list. They all had lengthy, if mediocre careers. Wimbley was still playing in 2014. Worth where they were drafted? Nope, but considering total career output- they certainly can't be labeled busts, if you hang around in the NFL for 9-10 seasons.

                        I've mentioned many times one of the things that pisses me off the most in the Browns history of drafting under performers- We took "Spare Change" Warren instead of the guy I wanted- Ladanian Tomlinson. So since we didn't get him- we made up for it next year by taking Willie Green.

                            Heading into week 10 he has 19 touchdowns and 2094 passing yards. He looks good too. Better than Bridgewater. The guy was the best of his class so far.

                              Teddy is never gonna be that good, he's smart but his arm is below average. He'll manage them well enough to win games but the type to be exposed at a critical time in the post season I think
