First Draft Pick Must be a QB - Paxton
-
i didn't say 50/50 to be successful. I said "50/50 chance of being our franchise QB for the next decade" Blake B is the guy he is most comparable to and it is looking like Blake is going to be a part of the Jags for years to come. If we had a Franchise QB i would be saying we draft bosa sure or treadwell or henry or coleman or smith but the fact of the matter is we have an old man playing his best football in his twilight years. John the Gimmick QB with Piles of disruptive Baggage and Bullshit and davis a fine backup qb. We need to keep taking a shot at the QB spot until we hit it and its just that simple. I hope we take lynch or lynch falls to us he is the most impressive Total QB of this draft. (though Connor Cook has the better arm talent but more inconsistent).

Taking a shot at the QB spot for the sake of doing it is what sets franchises back. Please look at the recent history of Jacksonville, Tampa, San Fran, Minnesota and the Browns for god sake.

in all those cases another team picking before them got a Good to great QB. we are the team picking before them now.

What if "John the Gimmick QB" wins two of the next three?

Then he will deserve one of those super hero monikers.

That's my point. The great QB's were off the board and the one's their respective teams took were highly questionable.
In a draft that isn't deep at the QB position, what product are you expecting us to have in Paxton?
You can look me in the eye after watching his tape and say he's a day 1 starter with the Browns?
-
i see no reason that he couldn't be a day one starter but i think mccown to start next season would be good
-
Gipper I kind of like "Fanboy" in honor of those of us who followed him over.
OK, Ok, then Lightning Lad or Tiagra (since many think he gets the whole team up for games).

Then he isn't your #1 overall pick. Pretty simple.

i haven't seen anyone else be as impressive at a spot the browns need.

Is Dan McGwire still available?

Have you watched anyone else?

indeed i have. Smith out of notre dame maybe. Ramsey is okay but i worry about the whole S/CB thing going on a little to much of a project there. Bosa has been a kruger clone this year and has said he doesn't care for the city of cleveland. a RB at 1 overall is insane. there is no calvin johnson cant miss WR in this draft. the best this class has is a slot guy. really who is your top guy? who actually is worth the number 1 in your eyes. Personally i hope we draft #2 after the titans that way they can get bosa and we can get lynch without the osu homers complaining. We have zero need of a tackle so most lineman can wait until day 2-3.
Also bear in mind we currently have 2 4th round comp picks and 2 5th round comp picks which is some food for thought. -

Browns RB from Alabama-Richardson -Check
Browns Heisman Winner - Manziel -Check

Browns too gunshy?? -Check

I like Goff over Lynch from limited I have seen of both.
If they decide to give up on Manziel, QB should be the pick. The question then is which one.
And I get that there plenty of problems with the roster -- but removing their coaching stuff (Especially every person involved with their defense), could help.
Defensive coordinator candidates shouldn't be hard to find. Perry Fewell did a nice job with NYG as DC for a period. Hes the DB coach for Redskins. Their personnel (from my understanding) has been injured, and subpar talent-wise, but they're not playing so poorly.

agreed. when you don't have a franchise QB in place and you have the first pick of the entire draft you don't get greedy and stockpile pix or have the luxury of drooling over Jadaveon Clowneys. safe odds say you take a shot at getting your franchise face, hit or miss, win or lose.
the alternative? spending 3 drafts worth of #1's to trade up to get the #1 overall in 2017 or 2018 ala RG3? yeah no thanks.
even if he ends up being Sam Bradford or Matt Stafford, or even Jamarcus or Ryan Lief >> when in Rome...and WHILE in Rome...you absolutely make the sacrifice to try to get your guy in place. too expensive a trip otherwise. the cost equates to the pain of being the 32nd team out of 32 other teams. get ur QB. then the blue chip luxury pieces come thereafter.
without a franchise QB, Calvin Johnsons, Adrian Petersons, Khalil Macks and JJ Watts are about the same as a Joe Thomas in terms of wins.
if it's Johnny so be it it's Johnny. and if that's the case spending a #1 on a QB just to back him up and get groomed for the (potential) future won't even hurt. it's just the single most important position in all mainstream sports. best case: would having two really be that bad? how about having none? the Browns franchise is worth about 1.5B. a mazzeroti with no driver isn't makin it anywhere fast.

exactly to be fair the 1st round qb's we have taken since 1999 is weeden, quinn and manziel and couch. i think we are due a 5th

Audi A8's and Teslas are nice, but they don't win NASCAR. the more shots on goal, the more chances to score. the Browns may be on their 25th or 26th QB since '99...but in all that time only one was a #1 overall...and Tim at least took them to the playoffs. our record of 1st overalls that weren't a franchise QB isn't even 0-1. more like 0.5 - 1. the record on non first overall QBs being a franchise guy are about 0 - 25. we gotta hedge our bets this time, do all we can to find the guy. we did the diamond in the rough searches with the likes of Charlie Frye, Colt McCoy etc. second rate is, well, second rate. time to suck it up and go for it again. everything to gain, nothing to lose from my view. playoff births and potential Super Ball appearances vs perpetual 2 - 14, 3 -13, 4 - 12 seasons...no brainer to me.

What's up, Frisky?

You realize that if we draft a Senior QB, that he'll be the same age as JM?
If it's JM, it's JM... if it's not, then pray there's a worthy #1 QB on our board.
