This is not the year for a #1 Qb pick
-
Certainly there's no QB in this draft worth the #1 pick, and maybe #12 is forcing it as well. If they don't go with Myles with the first pick, we'll be hearing all of the fans saying the Browns blew it again. With a dwindling fan base, they cannot afford to screw up again.

i have a feeling mitch is going to come in undersized at the combine with an average athletic score. That being said he still is the most pro ready qb right now which is fine. i just think we need to focus on getting the D fixed up add a new solving the C situation an grabbing Webb/Mahomes in round 2-3. My preference is webb as his arm is the best in class and he has the prototypical size you want. I still attest that Kessler played very well for his rookie year and if he can improve his arm velocity and most importantly his throwing base in the offseason aswell as hitting the weightroom to add some strength/athleticism he can be the franchise guy. Guys like Webb have the physical advantage he wont have though.
Garrett at 1 and hope for foster or a top flight DB/S at 12
I've said I'm not averse to Garret @ #1, though I won't love it. Regarding Mitch coming in "undersized" at the combine- where's that coming from? Reference please? All I've heard is vague reference to a Tweet, which is complete BS, unless he was in the NC locker room when he got measured. 6' 1" may be a tad undersized if it's true, but hardly a disqualifier.

considering he was 6'3" 195 when he left high school I doubt he shrunk to 6'1"

I'm just hoping we can land Webb at some point in this draft he could sneak into the first round.

I'm not in love with what I've seen on film from Garrett; and I'm afraid most of it will get written off to the ankle injury. Just to illustrate how far away from the draft we are, he lasted less than 1 week on my wish list at #1 overall. Not only that, I haven't seen enough of Nate Orchard (IR in 2016) to totally write him off just yet. Hopefully, Gregg Williams will have a better place for him than Horton seemed to envision.
As I just wrote to the other visitor (Gips) I had here in Nashville last October, the only question I have about Trubisky is the body of work (not to be confused with the body of the player). Love the build, arm strength and the elusiveness it equips him with behind a suspect protection upfront. If for some reason he is slightly under 6'2" - Warren Moon was only 6' like Brees while Russell Wilson is 5'11". Another guy that made Pro Bowls for 3 different play off teams (Garcia) was only 6' as well. He'll be ite.
When Oakland drafted Derek Carr near the top of round 2, they protected the investment by improving their offensive line and later adding WR Amari Cooper in round 1 as well as former 1st round WR Michael Crabtree via free agency. They also drafted Khalil Mack in round 1 to improve their edge rush the same year they took Carr in round 2. We could have drafted both guys in that 2014 draft. We can do something similar to what Oakland did, with our choice being edge rusher #1 and QB at #12 vrs QB #1 and edge rusher at #12. Since the draft seems deeper at edge rusher than QB, it encourages me to keep more of an open mind about Trubisky at #1.

Not arguing Tom, I'll be nice. I think it was Tour that posted the draft breakdown on Garrett, and there is reason for concern. Myles is relying on his superior athleticism- it was pointed out if a tackle is fast enough to his hands on him, Garrett had better learn some technique to disengage from a block. Sometimes those physical freaks don't work out. Since my memory is fading- probably due to excessive wine consumption. I had to look it up- Vernon Gholston came to mind. Resorting to Wiki, since 2007 when the Jets drafted Darrell Revis, their first round track record has been as bad as the Browns.
I suppose it's possible Joe Thomas knows less than football fans... But I'd like to think a Left Tackle protecting the blind side of QB after his 10th consecutive Pro Bowl might know more than some may want to give him credit for. Remember, he's the guy that has had to face many a Pro Bowl edge rusher twice a year from AFC North opponents frequenting playoffs so I'm guessing he understands their value.
I totally respect Joe's opinion- but I sort of disagree.

Facts.... facts... facts... didn't you get the latest memo, Mr. buzzkill?

Can you name all four starting QBs? Remember... honor system...
How about every one of them? Cook, Osweiler. Stafford, Wilson. Moore, Rothlisbooger. Manning, Rodgers. Ryan, Brady. Prescott, Smith. Ignoring the injuries, 8\12 drafted in the first or second round. You want long term success? Better draft a QB high. Or if you want to follow the Brady path, keep trading down until you have every pick in the 6th round a couple years running- you're going to hit on one eventually.
I'm just hoping we can land Webb at some point in this draft he could sneak into the first round.
From the other thread, I know you like the guy- but if you read Cal's post on his weaknesses, have to ask- what are you smoking? How about the Washington path- draft Trubisky #1, and Webb in the 4th round.

Kizer Watson and Trubisky are all going in the top of the 1st and mid its not impossible he jumps into the 28-32 range its unlikely of course . and depends on the combine and interviews. but he's been mocked in rounds 2-3 most of the year only falling this past couple of weeks.

Thanks, I appreciate the kinder, gentler Hoorta. He's a good guy that made some good points above. We're not enemies and never have been. We're just not used to being on different sides of a debate until the last 5 months or so...
For what it's worth, it's okay to disagree about a prospect especially in nit-pick season. This won't be exclusive to fans on message boards. Scouts and front offices do this as well.

TD, are you stupid? Don't you understand that the Fake Browns have only been playing since 1999. It is just not the right time yet to use #1 #1 for a QB.
Yes, we all know that the Browns are in the worst shape of all 32 teams at QB, and yes, we know how important the QB is. But you have to look at reality, With Hue and the rest of the cocksuckers we have, it is not as if the 2018, 2019, 2020, etc. Browns are going to be strangers to the #1 #1 pick. Remember also that the Browns have no interest in winning football games. Didn't you get the message? We are building for the future. We are amassing draft picks so that come 2563 the Browns will have 132 #1 #1 picks and will be able to draft everyone. Of course, they will cut the best players and keep the shit ones.
No NFL team needs a QB more than the Browns. No team is in better position to draft a high QB prospect than the Browns. No team is more stupid that the Browns on passing up great future players. We had the #2 and #32 pick over all and look at what we wound up with. SHIT............. PURE SHIT...........
I would not be surprised at all to see these jackoffs draft a DL at #1 #1. they really are that fucking stupid.

First... are you in the habit of taking other people's tests for them?
Second and once again... your logic is bass-ackwards. Drafting QBs high is not causation; it's effect.
Plus don't think I did not see what you did there.... adding the late-firsts and 2nd round picks to pump up your percentage. Who here is arguing about spending our #12 on a QB let alone pick 2.01? To your credit you stuck with the backups forced into starting roles. I free you of that restriction thus letting Tannehill (R1.08) and Carr (R2.04) join the party.
You had three, #1 overall picks, that's 3/12 for those keeping score at home, get in the playoffs... none are left... and all took years to develop.
Top half of the first or better? Brings the running tally to 5/12 thanks to Tannehill... you're welcome...

Not sure how that fits into your argument because I didn't read it all, but it is an interesting bit nonetheless since that could be foreshadowing the fate of the Chicago Bears in a few years.

Phil Sewage was pure shit. He wasn't just a coffee fetcher for Ozzie, I believe he washed his jockstraps.
Here is what I know. Nothing is more risky in the draft than spending a high pick for the top prospect. Likewise, there is no bigger payoff in the NFL than landing a franchise Quarterback. More great QBs come out of the first round than any other round. #1 #1 is the place to make a play. If you draft anyother bust, then chances are you will again wind up with #1 #1, and again get a chance to swing for the bleachers.
You know, it is no different than being with women. You always wonder why it is the arrogant, cocky fuck (Like me) that winds up with the hottest chicks. It's simple, it is because that's all this type of guy asks out.............the hottest, most well built, boner-inducing bitches in the bar. So, you guys get the plain Jane to go out with you, meanwhile the Ghoolie Guy gets the chick that makes your date shrink into the wall-paper, and you go home to beat your fucking meat.
Since 1999 the Browns have not made a single courageous draft pick. Couch was no risk because the Browns were new. But after that? ALL WALL-FLOWERS
Is this the year to use #1 #1 on a QB? It all depends if you want to go to the prom with Selena Gomez or fucking Joy Behar. The Browns have traded down for Behar, and every year went to the prom with a date that nobody else wanted. I talk about this all the time. Until the Browns franchise has a culture...........something it believes in and sticks with until seeing the payday, this cycle of shit will continue.
Trubisky.
Anything else is following YOUR life choices or asking the wallflowers to the prom.
I am interested in what chicks you would equate our various QBs over the year to.
So, go ahead, what chicks do these QBs remind you of:
Couch
Dilfer
Garcia
Delhomme
Holcomb
Anderson
Quinn
McCoy
Frye
Weeden
Campbell
Manziel
McCown
Griffin (wait...I know: Whoopi Goldberg)
And any others you want.
