    Yeah I wouldn't be pissy about Mitch at 12. At 1, I would be an unhappy camper.

    If you would take him at 12 you may as well take him at 1, because he won't be there at 12.

    And there is far less of a dropoff in talent at that edge rush spot than there is at QB...meaning, you can get almost as good a player at that spot at 12 as you can at 1, (but, imo....you can't do the same at QB)

  • Hey some people here think Teddy Bilgewater was the best of the bunch.

    Same for Derek Carr.

    Some prognosticators don't think there's much of a drop-off among Mitch Kizer and Watson.

  • Gip-Rob Rang of CBS now agrees with me after hiring of the defensive coach. Switched to Myles Garrett.

    "The decision to replace Ray Horton with Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator could be a sign that the top priority in Cleveland is not at quarterback but instead boosting a defense that statistically ranked near the bottom in nearly every meaningful category this past season."

    "The urge to take a quarterback is going to be strong for the Cleveland Browns, for obvious reasons. They have few answers at the position and can’t expect to win in the AFC North without one. Still, at present there doesn’t appear to be a QB worth the #1 overall pick. Perhaps that will change during the predraft process, which it often can but until it does this team is not in a position to afford missing on such important picks.

    Myles Garrett is the kind of generational talent that can change the landscape of an entire half of a football team. He’s big, strong, explosive and athletic. The kind of edge rusher who would fit in any defense. Quarterback will have to know where he is at all times and even running backs won’t be able to avoid him all the time. Put him in the hands of an experienced coach like Gregg Williams? It’s a quite the intriguing marriage."

    Maybe...or, as I have theorized, they brought in Williams to improve the play of the underachieving defenders that we already have on this team.

    It may also be a fact that, even if the Browns do go QB at #1 that they will not forsake the defense. They could go QB at #1 and D at 12 and 33...and that could still make Williams happy.

    Well, everyone with a computer and a blog has their choice. The chick that writes for the Akron Beacon Journal is clamoring for the Browns to take Watson.

    It is all fickle. These writers likely change their minds from week to week just to produce readable copy.

    The only guys whose opinions really matter are Jimmy Haslam, Sachi Brown, Andrew Berry, and Hue Jackson...and perhaps some underlings who are feeding them info.

    I doubt seriously that they have made up their minds, nor will we know until the end of April.

    But, yes, in the meantime we will all continue to report what the mocks say just for shits and giggles.

    WSS

    If you would take him at 12 you may as well take him at 1, because he won't be there at 12.

    And there is far less of a dropoff in talent at that edge rush spot than there is at QB...meaning, you can get almost as good a player at that spot at 12 as you can at 1, (but, imo....you can't do the same at QB)

    I don't agree with that at all. We have the first friggen pick. The last thing we need to do is reach.

  • The Browns are rumored to be interested in Tyrod Taylor. Many fans already speculated on this before the article this morning, and it does make a ton of sense. Tyrod doesn't set the league on fire, but he doesn't turn the ball over and he's durable. He also plays the style of game that Hue likes. Wouldn't surprise me if we signed Tyrod Taylor, cut RG III and McCown, AND traded for Garoppolo. Laugh all you want, but the race is on for a QB. Some way or another, I'm willing to bet our QB room will look completely different, with only Kessler being the only holdover.

    As far as the mock drafts go, I think Garrett is by far the best pick available at #1. I don't even think it's close. Just so happens that he fills a TREMENDOUS position of need for our team. Ogbah would've had about 6 more sacks if he played with a pass rusher opposite of him, as many times he got solid pressure only to see the QB drift away from him because there was no defender on the other side. Our #12 pick is where it gets foggy. Today, my favorite pick is Reuben Foster from Alabama. He'd be an enforcing linebacker that would pair nicely with both Collins and Kirksey (I'm saying we WILL re-sign Collins...we WILL.....). There's no telling if Foster will even be there at 12, and many analysts are currently saying he won't be there, but who knows right now. If he's not there, I'm totally fine with picking our highest rated CB on the board. My crazy pick at #12? How about Dalvin Cook, running back from my alma mater. He's nasty.

    Except, again, we have no clue what a "reach" is. As I said elsewhere, every pick if a risk.

    And, can it not be considered that not taking a pick that you desperately need is also a "reach".
