In the second round, the Cleveland Browns select...

Tour2ma

Both Dotson and Jackson III seem worthy of consideration at #32 and both look to be positions of need...

Taking a WR that high would also signify a clean break with the past... not exactly "analytical", but very "psychological".

But there should also be an OT or two in that area.

And then there is my favorite RB.

I could live with a decent WR, just to give whomever a prayer of not getting sacked 8 times a game.

Unsympathetic

QB in the first is a given. Signs point to Goff.

If he's still available at the 32, given his ridiculous speed/quickness/production, I want LB Scooby Wright, Arizona.

Or Corey Coleman/Michael Thomas, whichever one the Vikings don't pick in the first.

DL wouldn't be a bad pick either - Adolphus Washington / Jonathan Bullard, etc. We need players who can runfit, because the current crop just isn't good.

Carson Wentz. QB, NDSU

#2 Jared Goff, QB, Cal

#32 Shilque Calhoun, DE, MSU

Not sure where Calhoun is projected exactly or if he'll fall that far. Too early to really tell anyway probably.

#2 Goff simples

Oh yes PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us draft a QB in the first and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let him ride the bench for 2 years and then maybe give him 5 games to learn the offense under 2 different coaches with 2 different OC and then wonder why it wont work.

Last time we selected the consensus top QB prospect in the draft was 1999. Even then I'm not sure it was a consensus with McNabb at #2.

Drafting the Johnny Manziels, Colt McCoys, Luke McCowns, Brandon Weedens, Charlie Fryes, Brady Quinns was never the answer for us, and it's rarely* the long-term answer for anybody.

Last time we tried taking the #1 QB prospect was 1999...just sayin' Not sure why everybody is opposed to Goff, who is becoming more apparently by the day - deemed worthy of the top pick in the draft.

We have the OL to protect him for a long period of time...as long as we keep JT/Schwartz and get a suitable center.

Or we could take a justine Gilbert type figure instead? Nah thanks, I'd take the risk on the potential franchise qb personally, especially when we have the use of a great mentor in mccown.

Reward > risk

No no no, you draft QBs with the 1st-5th pick when they can contribute day 1. No more top 5 projects, for this team anyway. At pick 15 sure, at pick 2 hell no.

Goff is no project, the guy is as pro football ready as anyone since Luck

That remains to be seen. But he will have a good QB to work with in McCown who also understands his role. If we draft Goff or whoever at #2 they're probably the opening day starter.

Excellent point.

medicineman

Why not grab a guy from FA or by trade who is still in his prime that needs a new team? Do you really want to get a brand new qb and maybey win 2 games next year? I am so sick of this garbage of "rebuilding" that is their excuse for losing

No one has been pro ready since Luck and this guy is no Luck.

Probably this ^

If we go Goff, Calhoun is probably the guy I'd want in the second, as well.

But if we go Bosa, I'd like to see us go Wentz in the second.

I'm also intrigued by what will happen to Jaylon Smith.

This is where I point out the usage of the word as in his post.

He's not Luck - but he may be the most pro-ready QB since Luck. There's a difference.

(And I'm also not 100% sure I agree with that...yet. But he's growing on me.)

Goff will be gone by the second round. Have to watch the Senior Bowl then combine. I still want Bosa and CARDALE

Goff won't get past San Fran. Maybe not past Dallas

And he is the most pro ready QB to come out since Luck

I know what he said......what I'm saying is if he is not around the same level as Luck, which he is not, then he is a reach a #2. There are guys at the top of this draft that are completely pro ready, opposed to as pro ready as anyone at said position since so and so.
