What would you think of our top 3-4 picks going D

what would it take to get SF's number 2?

Using a draft value chart, it'd take our #12, both second rounders and our opening pick in the third round.

Not something we'd do.

Or, a #1 next year in addition to some of those other picks.

In fairness, big vaguely mobile guys have been going high with people looking to replicate big ben - Wentz in 2016, Bortles in 2014, Tannehill in 2012, Newton in 2011...

I'm not sold that Trubisky is on the same level though.

I was not impressed with his bowl game. Was responsible for two turnovers and two sacks that cost Nc 15 points! I agree he has size and an arm, but he's a project and I can't spend a #1 overall on him with so many needs and so much talent at other positions. Yes, we have to solve our QB issues (per Gipper) but not this way. It's going to be Tim Couch all over again.

6'3" 209 lbs is decent size, but not "big". Trubisky is smaller than Goff, Wentz, Winston, Mariota, Kizer, Allen, Mahomes etc. not to say he's undersized, but comparing him with worthlessberger is strange. Average, strong and mobile would be a better description of ol' Mitch.

Average what? Height? He is same or taller than:

Rodgers

Dalton

Prescott

Stafford

Brees

Wilson

Cousins

At 6'3, his height/weight are not a problem.

He can say the same to me....and yes, it doesn't matter what I think. Its just that I think that what I think will be proven right. i'e. I think some NFL GM....maybe ours will agree with me and take him Top 5.

And it is far more than just a great arm that I see. It is the whole package.

Tell you what, I will make the same deal with you I made with Stan: If MT comes out and is NOT taken in the Top 5 picks of the draft, I owe you a pitcher of Margaritas. Conditions: you and Stan must meet me at Maya....and each of you must consume one entire pitcher each, by yourselves, in one sitting.

Fair deal?

If I win, you buy the pitcher....but I will share it with you both. I am trying to stay off too much sugar.

Dude ... Me and Stan would be glad to drink multiple pitchers and pay for it ourselves ... so, I'm not saying he won't be a Top 5 pick ... I'm saying, I'm in.

It doesn't matter what you think. It matters what NFL GMs think. If he comes out, he will go in Top 3.....guaranteed. They will assess that high. And their opinions will align more with mine than they do yours....guraranteed.

QBs are overvalued. Of course they would rate him high. Tebow got picked in the first round at one point. So I am not terribly concerned about where pundits place QBs.

Apparently, you have got the Gipper autism and have locked down an opinion 4 months before the draft and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

I am sure you would.....Perhaps there should be more meat and bones on the waiver.

How about this: If he goes Top 5, then you have to bring Zoe and her sister to the party.

Then you admit that you completely agree with me. And it isn't pundits that are of concerned....it is NFL GMs.

Or don't you get that? It was NFL GMs that chose Wentz and Goff.....two guys that may have in reality should have been 2d rounders #1 and #2.

Apparently, you have got the Gipper autism and have locked down an opinion 4 months before the draft and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Or, maybe I am absolutely right....and you only disagree with me to disagree with me...choosing thereby to ignore the reality that QBs ARE going to be taken in the Top 5 of the draft.

Alright.

I'm not doubting you by the way, I am searching for information.

I am pretty much into the Browns current season all year and I don't even sniff draft stuff until after the season, so I am dipping into the pool.

You seem to be locked onto this guy, so I am thinking one of two things:

1. He's a local boy, and you love all things local, so you've decided you're just going to defend him to the death.

or:

2. You've seen him play a lot and were flat out amazed at his skills.

Because, here's me:

1. The local hook is nice and all, but I want the best player for the Browns. Lots of nice fluffy stories when we drafted Frye and Quinn, but they sucked.

and :

2. I've seen him play a few times and never been blown away. The only time I was really in "scout" mode was watching the second half of his bowl game. Was actually pretty down on him until his last drive when he showed a wicked arm. But comes off as raw and at 6'3 209 he is no Roethlisberger/Tannehill/Wentz body, not sure where people are coming up with that, he's closer to Colt McCoy.

So I am just trying to find out what the hubbub is all about.

If he comes out and rises up the chart like Wentz because of the arm/mobility combo, it won't shock me ... but Prescott had arm and mobility and went in fourth round.

So what am I missing? Accuracy? Intangibles? Smarts? Is he a dirt dog like Andrew Luck?

Someone sell him to me without mentioning his high school or his strong arm ... cause I need more.

Jesus, Gip...we get it. You're nearly out-Ghoolieing Ghoolie... and with one your patented, inside-the-quote, itemized replies to tia above the gap is barely discernible. Had you thrown in a cuss or two you'd have nailed it.

And all after "hearing" Trubs might not even come out...

I don't know if there is anything that can be said.

How big does a QB have to be to win a Super Bowl?

Calm down, Gip, I wasn't insulting your dream surrogate, I was simply saying that he isn't "big".

I swear, you read a convincing scouting report and you become a goose-stepper. Do you know what average means?

I listed several QBs taller than Trubisky and you tried to prove me wrong by listing several shorter than him....

...

....

That's what average means!

But most importantly, I wasn't saying that Mitch isn't worthy of being our QB because he's small, I actually like Mitch. Calling a 209 lb. QB 'big' is just strange to me, all I'm saying.

Has nothing to do with him being local. That only helps with public relations.

I said that I think he has more QB skills than any QB that has come out in the last two years. And, yes, there are some things that I have seen that I think are amazing. I think the raw material is there.

Like I have said repeatedly, I think he has Aaron Rodgers qualities.

Because, here's me:

1. The local hook is nice and all, but I want the best player for the Browns. Lots of nice fluffy stories when we drafted Frye and Quinn, but they sucked.

See above, yes, I agree, all fine and well to have local flavor for PR purposes...but....that is all there is to that.

I am not one that compared his body to those guys. He is not as huge and stiff as those guys, at all.

Yes, if you don't see those, then I would say, yes, you are missing them. Arm strength, accuracy, smarts, touch mobility, poise, leadership.

What else do you want in a QB? The ability to make a good brioche?

Is he a dirt dog like Andrew Luck?

I am not sure what you mean by being a dirt dog. And I am not saying that he is an Andrew Luck level prospect. There have been only 3 of those in the last 35 years.

Someone sell him to me without mentioning his high school or his strong arm ... cause I need more.

I do the same as you....just like you did here...inside the quote itemized replies. That is what lawyers are trained to do....Have you never seen an answer to a complaint?

And all after "hearing" Trubs might not even come out...

No shit Sherlock. I understand that. Obviously everything is predicated on him coming out.

What was your point in listing "taller" QBs...if not to imply that MT is short?

I'll bet you a pitcher we agree much more than we disagree this year... again...

Not sure that there is a way to objectively determine that.....so I suggest you go ahead and buy the pitcher under any circumstances....just out of general principles.

.. and in return? You bring "the Hooker"?

Who? Malik? I will bring him at #12.

That sounds like Shep every single day from 2007 to 2009 trying to sell me on Brady Quinn.

He supposedly had all those things. Then he played on Sundays and looked like he shoulda been home making a brioche.

I'm with you on arm strength and mobility, I've seen those.

Did not know he possessed all those other things. His "touch" must have been off the times I caught him.

I am not the one who said anything about him being "big"....except to say that at 6'3 209 he was "big enough"....and I said he could probably use another 10-12 pounds of muscle.
