    possibly patchwork, but perhaps here already: Thomas, Pasztor, Erving, Greco, Bitonio?

    alternate: Thomas, Pasztor, Bitonio, Greco, Erving?

    After losing guys like Mack and Schwartz who didn't want to be in Cle and went to noncontenders imo, envisioning this potential lineup made me feel a little better at least. not horrible on paper at least. cheap too. and possibly a better run blocking line.

    We WILL draft a tackle. No way you go into the season with that lineup. Not a sexy pick, but if Tunsil is available don't be surprised if he's the pick. Although, it's more likely around rds. 2-4 IMO.

    betcha a 6'er they don't. not because i don't think they will, but more because i can afford it and like to cheers beers with peers.

    to be crystal, he would need to be a pure OT, not a utility guy like Erv for you to win.

    I'd have bet a bottle of Don Julio on it, but free beer tastes good too. I'll take your beer, I mean bet.

    i'd take the Don Julio ante if i liked my own terms more lol. that and it's hard to invest more when i genuinely do hope there is a bpa OT sitting there for us to snag up somewhere on draft day.

    a stadium beer 6 pack and quite a few craft brews today would actually cost more than the DJ (!), so just to finalize how about we set a $20-ish ceiling? good?

    hopefully we can collect in person a few hrs before a Browns win.

  • they gave him a deal for that much money??????

    they actually should give US a third rounder to take him

    off their hands.

    He won't give up half that to go to the Browns....

  • bored silly So, Kap & Wentz in combine numbers similar, both 6'5" Kap -233/237lbs. hands Wentz-10"/ 9 1/8. 40 time Kap-4.53/4.77. vert.Kap-32 1/2/ /30 1/2. broad-Wentz-118"/115". 3 cone Kap-6.85/6.86 Goff-6'4-215 hands 9"- 40 time 4.82. vert.27". Broad 110" 3 cone-7.17

  • Well...if we end up with McCown, Kap and Goff/Wentz the fans will be very confused about which one to chant for......

    While it might sound like a good idea on paper, Id rather pick a guy and commit for a minute....but with 3 potential starters??? talk about your QB controversies......

    Deal.

    Like I said in another post, the Browns still want either Goff or Wentz. We know Josh McCown cant stay healthy. So the way I see it, we Kaep in FA, but start Josh. If and when he goes down, we bring in Kaep. This way Goff or Wentz can sit the pine for the season and learn.

    And dump Davis and Shaw. Not a good idea.

    @billmurray said:

    Why do I feel like the same people who were on the Manziel hype train are the same one's who want Kap? You guys are suckers for name value, Kap is absolute garbage. The only reason SF went to that SB was because they had the best defense in football, an elite OL, prime Frank Gore, and a killer zone read scheme from Jim Harbaugh that that treated Kap like the gimmick that he is.

    Kap has not and never will be able to run a pro style offense, his progressions, decision making, football IQ, and mechanics are all terrible.

    I'll repost this if we wind up with Kap make that Crap. For all you Kap pumpers- just remember THIS

    Kaepernick got beat out by Blaine Freaking GABBERT. So cool your jets over this bum.

    Ghoolie would approve of this message.

    Obviously you don't watch the 49ers. Last season was part Kaep, part 49ers organization. And to all Wentz pumpers remember that his best victory was vs Northern Iowa.

    So who do you expect to Mentor the rookie? Josh or one of the biggest assholes in the league?

    (but I would not bet on a high quarterback pick if these guys are enamored with that scumbag)

  • I don't know the role they would want him for but in the right system he can thrive. The only thing I am sure of is that he would be better than Manziel on the roster another year which we finally don't have to worry about.

    we're in the same boat......Id want Josh and a rookie.....no need to sign Kap if we are picking a QB in the draft.....

    And if we sign Kap....(or Fitzy)(or anybody else ftm)....then no need to pick one this year.....

    Kap is JM 2.0 taller and without the liquor store. Unable to make the adjustment to pocket passer. And doesn't this go against the new philosophy of build through the draft and not waste $ for FA's (or in this case giving away a draft pick + $)? And if we take Kap anyway, then concentrate on the D in the draft and not another QB.

    Now this is crazy. I don't want to be the Colin Kaepernick fan club captain but over 2 1/2 years he completed 60% of his passes for 50 TDs 21 INTs, rushed for another 10 TDs and played in a Super Bowl. I don't think he is Joe Montana by any stretch but @ $10 million guaranteed he is worth the risk.

    I think their clearly defined and stated philosophy on QB is and has been to leave no stone unturned and investigate every conceivable option.....and when you're desperate(and we are) then you try everything you can......Im not a fan of Kap, but think if they are serious about signing him, then they have some misgivings about their draft options and just dont want to pass on other top talent(again) to pick another "maybe" project QB.....(at least, not in the first)

    ...they've clearly said they prefer to build through the draft and dont think FA is the ticket to building a team....but, that doesnt completely disqualify signing any FA's or trading for a young player you think can help....you use all the tools available.....

    So you don't think its a good idea for Wentz or Goff to sit and learn for a year or two? We know that Josh probably won't last a year, which means that Kaep comes in. I think this is the best scenario considering we need to build on a quality QB.

  • Do I think its a good idea or what the Browns will do?.... cause thats 2 different things?

    Personally, no I dont think 3 QB's competing for the starter position is a healthy environment.....if a QB is worth the #2 overall pick, then Im not a fan of planning to sit him 2 years.....and, if I was gonna sit him, Id go with a much cheaper option than Kap as my back up....it's not as if we're gonna be contending in the next year or 2, so Id vote for making a clear plan on "who" the next QB is and not muddy the water with a guy like Kap.....

  • Agree.... cannot see this signing and drafting a QB at #2.

    A 3rd round flyer on Dak? Sure... similar skill sets. Keep McC as the vet backup/mentor for both...

    But I do not like running QBs.... just don't...

    Have I mentioned that before?

  • Feels like what may be at the heart of the "salary renegotiation" is how much of the current contract SF is going to eat...
