Deshaun Watson, QB- Clemson.

If you asked this same question a year ago people would have said like Christian Hackenberg.

So, you see how things change.

Agree they take Watson from Clemson. Going to be a long couple years for the fans again!

Much better pick than anything in 2016

2017- 2 names. Chad Kelly & a monster at Montana- Brady Gustafson 6'6" 235.(Wentz 2.0) Dabo Swinney & D. Watson got unfinished business till 2018. Hold up on that Deshaun watch fella's got to reload on defense..

Things will likely change from now until next year's draft. But for now, Watson goes number 1

Are we even sure Watson comes out in 2017?

Unsympathetic

The QB from Miami will also go top 5, Brad Kaaya. Probably to SF, even though they don't deserve such luck.

But I hope we get Watson, that would make everything better.

Since as of now I see a path to 0-16 the odds do favor you in my case...

Will update after the draft...

We'll be 3-5 at the turn, and will chase 8-8 until the end. I'm guessing 7-9, with 8-8 being my ceiling and 6-10 being my floor.

I predict we would be just good enough to have no shot Watson.

That's alright, I prefer Holmes anyway.

Love it.

If the Eagles do bad enough, it's possible that we pick number 1 on their dime. Then we could have both, 1 and 2

How much would we get to trade both picks

Tour, I don't believe the Browns will take Lynch. I never did. I wish they did, but they won't. What they will do is pick someone who really does not impact the team, but who will make some individual plays and keep idiots happy. Hackenturd is another black Fran Tarkenton. We already have one of those. Of course his legs will be splinters by game 10, so yeah, draft another run-first QB.

All I ever said was, Paxton Lynch is the best QB in this draft. I don't give a fuck what position he is taken in, he WILL outperform Goff (who holds the fucking ball as long as couch) and Wentz (who is just unimpressive).

So who do you want at 8 (ASSuming we stay @ 8)? I want Jack and think he'll be a stud for us for years. Who do you want?

past tense for something that hasn't happened yet?

Dude, and I mean this with love............. do you really need to ask me this? Lynch at #1, #2, #8, or whenever the fuck he is on our radar. Lynch is the best QB in the draft.

Wait, you think Lynch should go at 8?? Over say Jack, or Ramsey?? I know you like Lynch, but no way in hell can you think he's worth the 8th pick.

Let's say Lynch is still there at 32 and we pick him, who then do you want at 8?

Well... I'll give you a shot at being half right with that last statement, but you're projecting fairly far out based on something I sure as hell don't see.

Looking through my Lynch notes the only positives I see are "good feet", "good arm" and "has speed". That's not nothing, but only the first is learned.

Deficiencies are obvious in every other acquired QB skill as indicated by notes like: "drops eyes to rush", "one read max", "shortens self with 1/4 sidearm", "not elusive", "ducks when throws hard", "pushes passes".

Only times I saw what appeared to be him processing what was happening in front of him was in roll-outs when the field was halved.
