    So you're a Buckeye fan moonlighting as a Browns fan, got it.

    There's some positions where our need really doesn't correspond with availability of solid starters in free agency. Center for example, basically nobody. Free Safety - unless we sign Eric Berry in some shocking move, there's again not much going on. QB it's a given that we're not going to get our guy.

    Here's a fun fuckaround scenario that I did while sick. This is assuming we'd pay for free agents under 28 and that these free agents actually hit the market and don't resign with their respective teams.

    Trade:

    Joe Haden + 2017 1st round pick (#22) + 2017 3rd round pick + 2018 1st round pick to the Panthers in exchange for 2017 1st round pick + (#6) + 2017 2nd round pick

    If the age and cost lines up, I don't see them shying away from it.

    I'd put the line in the sand at 28, I don't think they want to bring in anyone over 28.

    No, I'm a football fan that was born a Buckeye and a Browns fan (tragically)

    Plus I know hype when I see it. As I've said before, Peppers isn't even the best DB on his own damn team.

  • Perine would be nice, and would start.

    Pocic and Warmack, me likey

    Skipper kinda blows.

    I don't see him in the CBS Top 100 prospects. He may be one of those who is like a 3rd year junior and is not listed in the prospect reports.

  • @tiamat63 said:

    His snap command early on in the season worried me. I'm not enough of a homer to over look that. I presume you've seen better control as the season has progressed?

    Snap Command?

    First time I have focused on him, tia...

    @tiamat63 said:

    JJ is an exception for his size as he is a freak combination of speed and strength.

    ... and quickness. His quick twitch/ strength combo out of the same set of muscles is what makes him so very special.

    @clevfan4life said:

    In college? Dude clowneys best tape is when ghosted around OL. They wouldnt get a hand on him. That and his speed is what had scouts salivating

    Reads like a Mingo scouting report...

    @tour2ma said:

    Right, which is why i now look at potential pass rushers in the draft differently. Speed rushing and finesse maneuvers, no matter how spectacular they look, do nothing for me anymore. I now compare them to bosa. How do these guys deal when the play is right at them and they're forced to go head up with a tackle or pulling guard. Why im higher on allen than garrett. Cause in the nfl they "will" get their hands on u. Garrett makes highlight reels with that freakish shoulder dip ala von miller.

  • That doesnt mean i dont think garrett might be special someday but we dont have a history of developing players. So the more nfl ready a guy is in terms of power, thats what i look for.

    OK-there are plenty of power plays, plenty of shoulder dips and plenty of pure speed. This was published Nov. 16 so go ahead and evaluate the highlights.

    Character? OK.

    What the Browns need are the #1 and the #2 picks....so they can get both Trubisky and Garrett. But, alas, I think the QB has to trump the defender.

    And I am a defense first guy so I understand your choice, but just come from a different perspective, especially when one looks like a 3 season no brainer and the other with 1 season question marks.

    Or...is your pespective: "I am an Aggie guy, and I want the Aggie guy to go #1"?

    Don't get me wrong, he may be a great choice. And this defense needs a guy like that. But I think the team needs a franchise QB. This team needs a resurrection ....and only a QB, I believe can work that miracle.

  • Still with work to do...

    • I see Allen as our first R1; D. Bryant/Sheldon/Allen looks like a 3-4 dream DL...
    • TCPO's Kizer at the top of R2 does it for me... a 2nd QB later? Not so much...
    • Our Philly pick? Catch me later...

    Or they could just be creating the appearance of really wanting Trubisky to generate a potential opportunity of fleecing someone. It will be silly season until April.

    They generally just fleece themselves when they make those moves. How many times have they traded down (or up)to have it all work out greatly in their favor?
