OK, just announce we're taking Garrett....

Actually, there is a need for a qb early in the first. But you can't have everything.
The supply doesn't match the demand regardless of how appealing the local boy story is to a couple of our fans. Trubisky is not a better prospect than Derek Carr was. While we're at it, what happened to the guys that got drafted ahead of Carr? 2 may never play again while Bortles is in way over his head as a #3 overall.
When I saw Trubisky interviewed in Indy, this whole thing looked overwhelming just like the thought of going to Ohio State did to him once upon a time. Where in all this does he look like the answer to all our problems? Hoorta, you've only seen 2 games he played in his entire scholarship and you blamed his defense and dropped passes for both losses. You were on the verge of blaming popcorn and peanut vendors. The difference between winning and losing against Stanford was his pick 6 and the great ones don't lose BIG Games by pick 6s - they overcome them and erase deficits when/if need be. If NC's defense was too overwhelming for him to beat decent competition, what do you think our 31st ranked defense does for his chances while he's behind a pass pro that several of our QBs couldn't survive starts in?
Time to be honest. This is a weak QB draft. You like to tell me when the scouts say one of the QBs has a weak arm but you don't like it when the majority of them say this is a weak QB class.

Should be interesting to see how the mock's change this week.

Great.. so lets go another 30 years without drafting a possible franchise QB.. they want fucking rejects like Tyrod fucking garbage Taylor.. Fuck shashimi and depudpuller...

If Garrett is a bust then all of the drafting experts should find new jobs because it's literally a concensus. Browns shouldn't over think it. And while I agree that we should address QB at 12, what if someone like Fournette or Adams falls to us at 12? Maybe then we look at the second round, first selection. But what if Peppers falls out of the first round? Then we're left with the second round, second selection?
Maybe we sign a FA QB?
I just don't know what to think. Like a kid in a candy shop!

If Gayrett is a bust....he would not be the first consensus #1 pick to be a bust. Not by a long shot.

Oh god, you think Garrett is Mingo AND you want Trubisky at 1?
Let's pray the front office doesn't agree

Unless...of course, it turns out to be right.

Hue said he doesn't think his favorite QB will be there at 12, which can be translated several different ways. If they go with Garrett first, and see their QB sitting there at 12 it's pretty much a done deal.
Adams would make it interesting, but i can't believe there would be 11 players selected ahead of him unless someone hacks his phone and posts a video of him performing satanic rituals or some shit.

See Camp Trade up. The Browns acquired those multiplicity of high picks to use them....they may just use them to trade up from 12 after picking #1.

Didn't know you can actually sign the player before the draft even starts if you have the number one pick. Just sign Garret and not waste 1 minute of time on the clock please

Yes....you can. But as I said elsewhere, with salary slotting it is not as important to do so now as it was before. Plus the NFL does not want its NFL draft TV show to lose its suspense, so they discourage the signing and naming of the first pick before the draft.

Didn't know where else to put this, so this info is as good a place as any concerning $$ for 2017 draft pick signings.

So, a fair chunk of that 100 mill in cap space will have to be spent on draftees.
About 8 million alone on just #1 and #12.

I don't get why people want to take a HB at 12. We have so many needs, and we want to use the #12 pick on the position where you can most consistently get production for late round guys. Plus I think Crow and Duke are solid.

I agree but the presence of fournette at 12 would leave me uncertain. Like if both hooker and peppers are long gone, a distinct probability.....than id have to take a strong look at fournette if he were to still be there.

If the browns go offensive playmaker at 12, I'd much rather have Orenthal James Howard than any of the RBs...

Marshall Faulk never says anything negative about kids coming out of indigent areas in Louisiana; so he took a while to carefully word how surprised he was the kid showed up 18 lbs heavier than he played at. He seemed like he was disappointed but said if he was still 222 lbs - he would have thought the 4.51 wasn't that good but since he's 18 lbs heavier - he's okay with the time. Let's just say I've seen better compliments.
I think in the back of Faulk's mind he was thinking does this kid realize he's showing NFL teams he's already willing to let his weight climb up before someone inks him at the extent of elite RB speed? Just MO but I could be wrong...
Fournette doesn't light my fire. I was more impressed with Cook and love his compact build/low center of gravity and how helpful he has been to FSU's passing game if RB somehow becomes a bare cupboard on us.

He's the only offensive guy I want in round 1 and it's because he won't be just a TE for a team that suddenly looks like it will lose Pryor. He'll line up outside, inside and all over the place. Did you see that highlight when he lined up at FB and took a pass behind the line of scrimmage; then he got outside to the sideline and outran several Clemson DBs and LBers with ideal pursuit angles on him. He's not just a TE any more than Jimmy Graham was. Graham is a classic example of a TE that can have much better statistics in the NFL than a college offense due to his coach knowing how many places he can be the mismatch. Last time Hue was in Cincy, he got 13 TD receptions out of Eifert in 2015.
We could have DeValve in the slot, Howard at TE/WR and Coleman.Plus, there could be some real good route runners on our door step like Cooper Kupp or Zay Jones. Safety seems deep enough to where we could land a real good one at #33 while WRs like JuJu Smith-Schuster USC 6-2 220 lbs, Zay Jones ECU 6-2 202 lbs and Chris Godwin PSU 6-1 205 lbs could be on our doorstep at #52 overall in round 2. Maybe even Cooper Kupp EW 6-1 198 lbs could be there. I'm sure some of these guys can run some great routes here.

Actually, thank goodness, it's O'Terrius Jabari Howard... but nonetheless I agree with the sentiment.

I would just never take a HB that high

i just love the idea of having a 6th offensive lineman out there. Howard has the skill set to contribute on different levels and is willing to do it.
I'd be a fan of Howard even if he was 'just' a 6'6" 250 lb TE who caught everything with his hands without ever dropping the ball. After watching him play, I saw he was so much more than that, he's a great blocker who was a major part of the Alabama run game. The kid has no weaknesses, and I'm worried he will end up with the ravens or steelers.
Edit: oh yeah, I almost forgot he ran a 4.51 40 at the combine and threw up 22 bench press reps...
