    That was more ribbing than serious discussion. I did find it peculiar that he volunteered that comment but in the end he will not turn down #1 money.

    We were talking about Hooker there. I asked you if you're more comfortable with his tackling than you were earlier in the season when I said I wanted us to draft him if he was coming out.

    As for Horton (regarding Peppers), he's been playing gridiron chess with pawns at the Safety position so I'm not sold he's been using the back end strategies he intends to use when/if he finally has to personnel to justify it. I could see Peppers being used like Pitt used Carnell Lake and Horton used TJ Ward the year he made his first Pro Bowl. I've been wrong before though...

    I get we're talking about Malik. What I'm saying is that the Brownies are in such a need for playmakers on the back end that so long as he's not being trucked by receivers, I'm willing to let Hookers tackling slide.

    Yup! You're speaking to Baritone section of the choir that first suggested him for round 1 earlier in the season. Unfortunately, I don't think he's coming out in the 2017 draft so I'm intrigued by how much Peppers offers the scheme Horton wishes he could run.

    I'd prefer to target a Su'a Cravens kind of guy mid round.

    Not as much hype in the name, every bit (and then some) the production.

    We need a contest to see who can trade away the highest picks to get 14 more nobodies, because our HC would not know what to do with good players anyway. 😛

  • If the Browns take Fournette in the first round this will be another clusterfuck

  • I'm Camp Allen now... and on board with Hooker as an option to boot, but not if it comes down to a choice between he and Foster.

    Front to back and inside out...

    As long as the first round picks are defense I am all in.

  • 4 picks in the first 50. That should translate into 2 pro bowl talents and 2 very good players on the fringe of the pro bowl.

    If drafted correctly.

  • Haha, I've not settled into anything just yet. I'm keeping the options open. I'm not opposed to...

    1- Taking the Franchise QB at #1 overall

    2- Drafting a defensive phenome at #1

    3- Trading the Top Spot for a King's Ransom to some draft wealthy team

    4- Trading UP from 10ish to the #2 spot to take BOTH the QB and the DE/OLB

    ...building the offense this year and helping out the defense by scoring points and keeping them fresh, because I believe that their are some really bright spots on the Defensive side of the ball. Resign Collins and keep that talent here, build around it some, draft Garrett's teammate Hall and a talented CB. Move Haden to the back end of the Defense and let him play Safety. They had Williams out there doing it and it was probably the best I've seen him play. Haden would be so much more potent back there with a chance to surv.... getting off topic here.

    But, It was funny. I taught my wife how to play that Draft game and I had her draft earlier and this is what she came up with... 🙂

    Damn Cowboys. Could have been #9. Of course Sashi can try to parlay that into 5 picks in the first round 2018. Including the #1 when the Browns go 1-15 again. 🙂

    Let's say just for kicks.

    We draft Trubisky and Fournette. We resign Pryor and we get Gordon Back. We can draft either Pocic or Elflein at the top of the second round.

    QB- Trubisky, Kessler

    RB- Fournette, Johnson, Humphrey

    WR- Gordon, Pryor, Coleman, Higgins

    OL- Thomas, Bitonio, Elflein, Erving, Paztor

    I think that would be a really strong offensive unit.

    That is all well and good.....but.....what about the defense, which is still the weakest part of this team.
