It would be stupid to take a QB

  • well if it's not a QB and you are doing a total rebuild then yes, tunsil. the first building block of every football team.

  • Don't forget we still pay some guy named McCown - and he's better than both EFG and SomeDraftableRookie. Pasztor is a good swing guard - not a starter, those should be Greco/Bito. Greco played C for a few games and stunk royally. We can get a RT in round3 and be just fine.

    I hope we don't trade down even though we need picks. The QB needs 2,3 yrs to learn.. next year should be the trade down..

    True, but circumstantial... the key factor was McQuistan back-filled for Greco... or rather took up space at RG.

    I think it would be fucking stupid to take a Quarterback when the team has no quarterback. Who the fuck needs a Quarterback? Seriously, the Browns have not had a Quarterback and it has not stopped them from having great success at 3 - 13.

    Who the fuck needs a QB? Seriously?

    I'm not saying we don't need a quarterback, but we shouldn't take one this year. None of these guys have confirmed talent, and if we do take one of them, he won't have the team around him to succeed. We have two at least competent guys under center for now, we need to take the BPA so that when we do take a quarterback in the coming years, he doesn't get absolutely fucking mauled

    in the coming years? who and when will that be?

    you have to understand (guessing you haven't been a browns fan for very long) that haslam isn't a patient guy. sure he might say he is when he spouts his bullshit when hiring a brand new staff after canning the previous one that he said he'd be patient with......that hue and staff better show something other than having a good season because of a soft schedule or they too will be out on their asses that they might want to address the most important position on the team early on in their careers here.

    and drafting a QB at 22 or beyond just doesn't cut it.

    i.e. paxton lynch is a bum.

  • well, the Browns COULD wait for oh, ten years or so, until the

    top qb they could get, with the #1 pick, could fly like Superman,

    do cool tricks with Batweapons, swim like Aquaman, and swing

    from goalpost to goatpost with a spider web jobbie...

    or maybe we didn't have the top pick, and had to settle for a

    qb with an iron suit that gives him super "IT" powers....

    I'd rather get the right qb, and I think that is Wentz if they don't trade down.

    Back in spring 1998, there was uneasiness among NFL personnel people about not only if Manning ever would become more than just a solid starter but also if he were even the No. 1 quarterback in the draft.

    It seems crazy now, but paranoia once ran deep in scouting circles when it came to quarterbacks, and for good reason.

    In the 10 drafts before Manning of Tennessee was taken with the first overall choice one slot ahead of Washington State's Ryan Leaf, eight of the 14 quarterbacks selected in the first round turned out to be busts.

    "Hell, yes, Manning's good, but his ball waffles all the time," the scout said. "I didn't like his ball velocity, either."

  • You draft the kid who is brilliant, very strong arm, extremely competitive,

    excellent leadership, very, very athletic, who LOVES the game, thrives on

    the challenge, throws a very nice ball....

    his skills have it over Peyton Manning. Goff's profile sounds like Peyton Manning

    a bit.

    Wentz and Goff are far superior picks than Marriotta, and what's his name.. oh yeah, Winston.

    and the last two went first and second overall.

    I'm fine with a nice trade down extra picks biz, but if Wentz is there - you DRAFT him ("cough" or Goff, whoever

    he is off the field....)

    Paxton Lynch could still get drafted in the Top Ten. The Browns FO may think that he is Top Ten worthy. Even if they don't....other teams may.

    Sashi Brown and Hue Jackson may think we DO have a QB in RGIII.

    Don't be at all surprised if that Philly deal is made and the Browns pick 8th that they go for Lynch.
