So slit your wrists why don't you?

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.

That's if the FO has a clue Mark.

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.

Just saying, the Defense looked good yesterday. We're looking at a lot of impact players entering their second year, hopefully they make the jump. They will be in the second year of their system and with a little continuity they could have an impact.
Watch this...
If we get the QB #1 and lose out on Garrett, we can still get Hall a little later.
But, if we're going to move forward we need a QB that can stabilize the position. McCown is getting old, Griffin and Kessler are not the answer... Trubisky looks like he could be the real deal. The kid is a heck of a QB. His highlight reels show all tools that you're looking for in a QB. He's tall, he has an accurate rocket arm and can make plays with his feet.
Just watch this bowl game highlight. Yeah, they end up losing the game but he gave them a chance to win. I went back and watched all of games in which they lost this year. He wasn't the reason when they lost, and if he did have a mistake he battled back and gave them a chance to pull out the win.

Mitch Trubisky throws such an amazing deep ball! I love the angle and the velocity on his throws... almost looks like that ball is going to go on forever!
Then you find a way to take this monster to take over for Crowell and we have an allstar offense.
If we want to change our fortunes, let's get these guys and people will be forced to fear playing the Browns. I believe in our Defense... our Offense needs and identity, this would accomplish that.

As much as SEC teams doubled teamed and ran away from Garrett all year long, Hall should have had a better year on the other side of the D. But he didn't. He is late round at best.

Looked like he had Cam Erving playing center for him on the 2 pointer. Hopefully...to my mind, we take Trub and an OC to go with him: Elflein/Pocic.

I don't think that Fournette has any better of a future prospect in this league than Crowell does. Not at all.

I agree Gips. Crow was Freshman of the year in the SEC at UGA and he's had some really good games behind our offensive line this year. He'll get even better any time we can throw the forward pass with any degree of consistency as yesterday depicted.

Can someone explain to me why some folks here even have fournette on the brain? Why? If there wasvanything on this team thst gives me any modicum of hope its the running game with duke and crow. Im not a fournette hater but we've gotbthe worst defense in football....theres honestly not a position on the entire defense that is locked up. We talk about the front 7 mostly but jesus that secondary needs all kinds of help.
Please for the love of god.....no more talk about RB's. Its almost giving the team absolutely no credit and thats such a slit ur wrist mentality. The running gamevis showing serious f'ing promise, now think what the running game could be if our o line gets addressed through FA or the draft.....

75% of that highlight tape is Fournette running through massive holes

Good idea.

Indeed, but what I see is he doesn't get caught from behind. Besides, it's the other 25% of the plays when things do break down and he does it on his own, that is where I see the need in Cleveland.
