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

Jason La Canfora reported that Leonard Fournette is in play with the first pick of the draft. I shit you not, I will absolutely EXPLODE if we take a RB with the first pick. It would be the last straw. (not really, but I'll talk tough).

La Canfora is a hack. That's nothing more than click bait.

Who doesn't like the Browns. Nothing to be gained by falling in line like every mock that has Garrett at #1. Ignore. I could probably dig up articles saying 10 different prospects are in play @ #1.The only real question is what the 49ers will do @ #2.

I know, I know....I think I'm just nervous that we'll overthink this pick. Our team has been accused, and possibly rightfully so, of trying to be the smartest people in the room. We have a documented history of trading down and making selections that cause the "the experts" to question what we're doing. Add in the fact that we haven't been GOOD at drafting early, and you have the perfect storm for my anxiety.
Now that I've had more than five seconds to think about it, we're not taking a damn running back. This might be the stupidest statement La Canfora has ever made, and that's saying something. So the worst team in the league is going to draft a position that actually isn't one of the MANY needs on the roster? Yeah...that's what we're doing. Gimme a break, man. Like posters have said, it's just pre-draft click bait, and nothing more. Even our radio show guys briefly discussed this statement, and they all think it's complete garbage too.
Let's take a second and suppose we don't take Myles Garrett at #1. Who else makes sense for our team? To me, there's only three other REMOTE selections, and they are Jamal Adams, Safety from LSU, Malik Hooker, Safety from OSU, and whichever QB we have ranked the highest in the draft. THAT'S IT. Now, I'm not saying we wouldn't look at taking a RB with the #12, but an awful team like ours wouldn't take one #1. Fournette was recently called a "Once every 20 years type player, similar to Bo Jackson, Adrian Peterson, and players of that caliber." If he's that good, then he's certainly worth entertaining with our second pick, but we NEED players that get to the QB. Garrett didn't play his best ball against the best college teams, and that's cause for concern, but I also read that his ankle injury was immensely worse than he let on. I don't want to make excuses for the guy, but I recently saw some clips of the guy limping during games, and it seems like he shouldn't have played at all. But to me, it shows how tough he is. It shows that he really wants to be out there with his team. He was the projected overall #1 pick for two years (almost), and if he didn't want to play, nobody would've blamed him.
Honestly, the ONLY WAY we don't take Myles Garrett is if another team offers us something we literally can't turn down. What if someone like San Francisco or Chicago is absolutely in LOVE with Garrett, and they offer us two first round picks to move up one or two slots? I know it's crazy, and I'm just giving an example, but think about it. What if a team offers us something STUPID...do we have to listen? If we get the 49's or the Bears' 2018 first rounder...you'd HAVE to think that would be a top 5 pick, right? Look at the QB class coming out next year. Should we pad our ammo stock to ensure we can get whichever QB we want in 2018? I'm not sure, but it's something to at least consider.
My mind is made up, and I want Garrett. I want the anticipation and excitement of adding a player like him. I want the possibility of having a stud pass rusher opposite Ogbah. Two physical freaks that can play off each other and wreak havoc for years to come.
-
Nevertheless....do not discount the possibility of a trade down. For reasons you have stated: to get more picks....because these guys think they can do better with more picks that with just #1. Because they have the cap space to sign 3 first round picks.....because of the plethora of needs on this team that may be filled with more top picks....because they think that Ogbah and Nassib are adequate at DE...because it it their track record to trade down...etc. etc. etc.
-
Let's hope not.
FFS we have done this enough and have passed on lots of talent! STAY PUT AND TAKE THE BEST FUCKING PLAYERS!!! -
If we can trade out of the 1stvand still end up with soliman and/or allen than maybe.....cause we'd have alot of ammo then for subsequent years. But solomons expected to go 2nd to SF so i dont see this ascan option. SF isnt trading shit cause they'll end up with either garett or solomon if they want a pass rusher.
Garetts an alpha with near historic athleticism, dont overthink it

Yeah thevtrade down has cost us mack and bosa, just two examples.....bosa might have broken the rookie sack record if he hadnt missed 4 games. We cant keep passing on that kind of talent.

And yet the Chargers are picking at seven.....AND they have a franchise QB

Myles was on ESPN's NFL Insiders and NFL Live yesterday. Some interesting and fun stuff in both shows.

So? That means they shouldnt have taken bosa? I guess we should reach on a qb year after year and field successively shittier and shittier teams to surround him with. Makes alot of sense?
I agree that if the qb is there u dont pass him up for a pass rusher no matter how good. But because i root for the browns ive been subjected to one qb after another get his ass kicked, so i just want to build a beast defense and try to build a goid o line with which we can either entice a franchise qb here or feel safe reaching in the draft for one.
Frankly ive got my eye on sam darnold anyway so this year i want bpa with the 1st........which is garrett

Just read an article saying the Browns are split between Myles Garrett and Mitchell Trubisky. I can tell you right now that I'd lose my mind if we don't draft Garrett. I just can't shake this feeling that our Browns won't completely screw this up. I mean, it's what we do, right? The more I think about it, the more I just know we'll try and be the smartest people in the room, and do something stupid. I can already read the headlines. "Browns get their QB, but pass on once in a lifetime pass rushing prospect. With the 12th pick, the Browns selected Scooby-Doo, hoping to confuse defenses with his silly language skills and caper solving abilities."
You can say it's just pre-draft smoke screen crap, but until I'm proven wrong, this is how I feel. WE DO IT EVERY YEAR. Julio Jones? Nah. Carson Wenzt? Nah. We can't help it. Welcome to Cleveland, Scooby-Doo.

I'm in a pissy mood today, and that could be what it is, but I heard some radio show talking about how the Browns NEVER do what people think, so get ready for some craziness. Then I stopped and thought about it, and they were RIGHT. When was the last time we just PICKED somebody in the first round? Justin Gilbert? Or did we move down in the draft that year? I'm already angry and the draft hasn't even happened yet, LOL.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that a previous FO?
