Browns picks over next two years

I feel like they have a blockbuster brewing for our new QB.

The QB will be the absolute key of this whole re-Boot..Our divisional teams are still full of aging veterans & there QB's are not getting any younger either..Need the Big Boot behind center. but we got better pieces around it today..Baby Steps took a big step today..

I wouldn't trade these picks for Elway,Manning, or Elway. 8 in the first 2 rounds? We could do so serious damage at this point.

no shit, Elway is old as dirt, Manning is aging/so-so, and Elway is old as dirt.

Me too, but it may already be agreed upon.

I don't think we have a blockbuster brewing, I think we're re-upping our ammo for next year. If anything, I'm hoping this means we don't trade down too much in the draft this year, although I'm still expecting it.

Future assests are the name of the game now.

Pick up Bennett in FA and then we don't need to take O.J. as a TE @ 12. Use it on another quality defender.

OR could they be stockpiling for a qb next year???

Possiblity.

With Garrett added this year - some DBs would be nice - Browns D might actually win them some games.

With a mid-teens #1 next year, they could package some of those #2s to move up and get a QB.

Wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't 'the plan' (roughly) since last year when this FO was put together.

2017: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6

2018: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7

We have ammo for any trade we want. I see us building the defense this year and the FO going all in on Josh Rosen next year.

One of the points on NFL Live yesterday is that this many picks cannot be used to draft individual players beyond year 2 of a rebuild. To do so would turn over the roster too fast, keep it too young to ever develop into a successful playoff team. So that leaves using the accumulated picks as currency to trade for players or higher picks.

I agree for the most part, but that two-year limit is contingent upon drafting well both of those years. This is our year two and I think most here agree that our year one draft was OK at best.

Combine that with our growing confidence in our FO's ability to evaluate player worth (Schwartz and TP) and I feel pretty good about letting them determine the most effective path to our next QB.

And I would not be surprised to see that path have more than one branch... just as a hedge.

More and more though it may be possible that that QB will be someone they may want to after in next year's draft...not this year's.

Darnold

Rosen etc.

NFL Network speculated on that saying the Browns may be building the way Seattle did, build the rest of the team first, then drop in a QB who is not under pressure to "save" the franchise, just get 17 or so completions a game. We have addressed our OL very well so far and if we go "all in" on a D with this strong defensive draft, then we have our answer. BO in the meantime can try to rekindle his prospects with a guy who loves the taller QBs. That latter was my thought, not theirs.

LOL Gip ( that would be OL, OL for you Tour)

Since we have him and released RG III, there is now no harm in trying if we do not acquire anyone else in FA or draft. Would you just rather have Kessler/Hogan?

cambridgeho

With all the 2nds the next 2 years. Would it be possible to trade a few 2nds for a 15-32 range pick. Not sure how the points add up.

Absolutely, but I can't see us not taking a QB at some point of the draft... even if we grab an FA or make a trade.

Based on some of the dirt surfacing in HOU, I don't think I want Brockweiler in my QB room.

Kess v Hogan? I was thinking about that a bit ago. I have to go Kess

Sure... problem is using which chart? Can get very expensive, if use the old, JJohnson one and you're talking about the 15 end of your range.
