    These posts are as annoying as "Kiper doesn't even know what he's talking about. They should listen to me!"

  • 40 posts and still on the wrong foot...

    Speaking of miss-ed opportunities, where's our Miss Opal been?

  • Hindsight is 20/20, and some of them you couldn't have predicted, but if Cleveland had hit on alot of their draft picks, here is what the roster could look like:

    QB: Derek Carr, Dak Prescott

    HB: Leveon Bell, David Johnson

    WR: Julio Jones, Golden Tate

    WR: Antonio Brown, Tyreek Hill

    WR: T.Y. Hilton, Cole Beasley

    TE: Rob Gronkowski, Jordan Cameron (left)

    LT: Joe Thomas

    LG: Trai Turner, La'el Collins

    πŸ˜„ Max Unger

    RG: Kelechi Osemele

    RT: TJ Lang

    DE: Joey Bosa

    DT: Michael Bennett, Damon Harrison, Danny Shelton

    DE: Malik Jackson

    OLB: Khalil Mack

    MLB: Luke Keuchly, Navorro Bowman

    OLB: Clay Matthews

    CB: Richard Sherman, Joe Haden

    CB: Malcolm Butler

    S: Landon Collins, Tyrann Mathieu

    S: Kam Chancellor

    K: Dan Bailey, Justin Tucker

    P: Johnny Hekker

    That would be a team

    I think you have to do better than this. You need to say: "In round X of the 20XX draft we took Player @#$%&*@! when 2-3 or whatever picks later we could have had _______ Insert the player from above.

    Sure, we missed on some of these.....but you have to be more specific. "We coulda had Tom Brady" So could all 32 teams who all passed on him 5-6 times....including the Patriots.

    Plus, if we got a few of these guys right, we wouldn't have been in the position to draft these other guys, the team would have evolved in a different direction.

    It's an exercise in futility, as were our drafts.

    It is futile, and should only be done for shits and giggles. By that I mean....the Browns take a dump at who they have selected...and everybody else gets to laugh at us.

    Mike, sometimes it's fun to do some reminiscing. It's why we are where we are. Dead horses don't kick back.

    I could argue about missing the daily double badly on first round selections. Trent Richardson and Brandon We-done, anyone? Ah we can always take that trip down memory lane and relive how badly we screwed up. Revisiting 2001 with the help of Wiki was IMHO the worst puke inducing draft. The Browns took in the first three rounds Spare Change Warren, Quincy Morgan, and the very forgettable James Jackson. bonus points if you remember what position he played. These guys WERE available at those respective positions. 1st round- HOFer Ladanian Tomlinson. Richard Seymour, Koren Robinson, Steve Hutchinson, Dan Morgan, Michael Bennett, Casey Hampton, Reggie Wayne, Drew Brees. (yeah- Brees went in the second- but he's another lock HOFer when he hangs 'em up) 2nd round Chad Johnson, Kendrell Bell, Matt Light, Travis Henry. 3rd and lower Steve Smith, TJ Houshiemooshie. πŸ™‚

    Exactly Z. Had we drafted Ladanian, we wouldn't have made the screw up the following year drafting Smokin' Willie Green.

    Well then I'd have to start a thread talking about the 25 dumps you could have taken instead of the one you did take.

  • If cows had wings they could fly. If I knew last weeks mega numbers before the drawing I'd be rich. Shall I go on?

  • don't see any point in these threads.............

    fuck the past

    let's see if hue can keep his fucking word about us not losing like last year.

    get it done ////

  • It is just amazing. Here I was just doing a little research and found it interesting so I posted it and everyone wants to whine that I posted it. Here we go, I hardly ever post anyway. Just read what you guys have to say, and all the people who think they know a lot. So I will just let you guys discuss things, and I will just read from now on. Have a great day and god bless

    Nah... stay...

    If you've read much here, then you have to know that hindsight is something we've grown weary of. Try a fresher topic... preferably a forward looking one.

    Tis the season for FAs and the draft. Spend your time there. No guarantees that your take(s) will be embraced, but that's part of the fun.

    Are you on board with Garrett at #1 overall or have another prospect in mind?
