The rest of the QBs

LogicIsForSquares

As of now, it doesn't seem like a QB will be picked in the first by the Browns.

So if they were to pick a QB outside of the first, who would you like them to pick?

A combo of Prescott with Kevin Hogan or Brandon Allen would be alright in my opinion.

Mr. Make-Believe

Is it wrong to not want them to draft a QB at all now that their top picks are likely to be off the board?

Just seems like a waste of a pick to take a guy who would be third or fourth or fifth on the depth chart at that position.

Hue stated he won't tailor the offense for RG3 but after that smoke clears, Prescott can do it. Brandon Allen my sleeper. Gutsy, with a laser if he needs it.

My sleeper is Vernon Adams from Oregon. He'll almost certainly be a UDFA and when you watch the guy play there's a lot to like, but a lot to work on too. He's a guy I'd love to see get a shot though, in the bowl game he played (I forget what the name was) he was objectively the best athlete on the field.

the talent was so good they called it the Shrine Bowl. ^^

I'm OK with Prescott later on, don't like Lynch's huge wind-up and he got an 18 wunderlic which is the lowest of any starting NFL QB (or would be)

Prescott with our 3rd round Comp seems about right...

FWIW BB, Cardale reportedly scored 25 on the wonderlic, and if true- means he's no dummy. A very raw edition of Wentz. Lord knows he has a cannon for an arm, and has a Rothlisberger physique. (6'5", 253- hand 9-3\4) Cleveland guy too. I'm back on the "Fail for Cardale" wagon. Call me crazy, I'd even take him at #32, or certainly with one of the third round picks, if he's still there (which may not be the case).

PS to Ghoolie- anything under 20 for an NFL quarterback is considered a red flag, but there's plenty of other stuff the Draft Gurus don't like about him.

PPS Buckner reportedly scored an 8. If so, I'm off the Buckner wagon.

We don't have a 3rd round comp. We have 2 3rd round picks...ours & the Eagles.

Here are the Browns picks:

Round 1: No. 8

Round 2: No. 32

Round 3: No. 65, No. 77

Round 4: No. 99, No. 100, No. 138 (compensatory)

Round 5: No. 141, No. 172 (compensatory), No. 173 (compensatory)

Round 6: No. 176

Round 7: No. 223

And I think Denver may want him so here are theirs:

Round 1: Pick 31

Round 2: Pick 63

Round 3: Pick 94

Round 3: Pick 98 (compensatory)

Round 4: Pick 136 (compensatory)

Round 5: Pick 144 (from Baltimore in Gino Gradkowski trade)

Round 6: Pick 219 (compensatory)

Round 7: Pick 228 (from San Francisco in Vernon Davis trade)

Round 7: Pick 235 (from Los Angeles via Houston in Chris Clark trade)

Round 7: Pick 253

If Denver wants him as much as I think they do they will take him @ 63.

If we think he is that good, we had better use #32 or trade up just ahead of their #63.

Lynch, Cook and Cardale interest me.

Lynch and Cardale are both naturally gifted with great size but need a lot of polish. A lot.

Cook is a guy that really interests me lately

I like that everyone thinks he's an asshole: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2016/04/21/connor-cook-michigan-state-nfl-draft/83337046/

Steeler fans will hate him.

He seemed to get better as his college career went on, I think he will have a good NFL career. But Lynch and Cardale have higher ceilings. I would not be unhappy with Lynch in the second round if he made it there.

Frankly I'm a bit tired of taking second tier QBs. I'm disappointed we don't get to pick a top tier guy this year but that's more than offset by the picks in return.

We have a chance to really rebuild this team with young and hungry players, choose guys that fit Hue's scheme and progress. I would be perfectly content not drafting a qb at all this year, but if someone falls a long way and is objectively great value then sure. But trying to force a qb early just because it's a qb would annoy me most of all.

The problem is that it was his teammates who thought he was a cry baby and a jerk off.

Ya, I know. Still a little intrigued.

My sleeper is Joe Fabeetz...

I think we're taking a QB, but it won't be with our first two picks. I think we take a QB with our third round pick, or just third pick in general. If someone we really like starts to slip, I wouldn't rule out our staff trading up to grab him.

It's just so sad to me because to me there was Goff...Wentz....then everybody else. Huge dropoff in talent IMO.

I have no doubt that Lynch at #8 is a huge reach....even at #32 is a reach IMO.

There will be lots of Camp (insert QBs) next year. The Browns may draft a QB that everyone is sweet on then or try to develop a middle round from this draft.

It took balls to walk away from Goff and Wentz.

I am actually a little impressed.

When RG3 exhibits his rookie form, the Eagles go 5-11 and we are holding their #4 overall next year ... I'll be real fucking impressed.

We'll see...
