Schefter: Browns still split between taking Garrett and Trubisky with #1 pick
-
The title of this thread basically says it all. I was watching Schefter and McShay who were both on Mike and Mike this morning, and this is what Schefter reported. Also a number of other sources are saying the same thing:
https://keepingitheel.com/2017/04/11/nfl-draft-cleveland-browns-split-mitch-trubisky-myles-garret/
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2017/04/browns_split_between_myles_gar.html
Of course, one never knows if this is actually the case, or if it is just smokescreening.

No no no!
Trubisky isn't worth the 1st pick!!
Garrett is! We need a pass rush!
Roll with Kess and get him someone to throw to @ 12.
Then fix the secondary/D in the 2nd and 3rd rounds

Well, again, that is an opinion. Your opinion, and your opinion, my opinion, all of our collective opinions don't count. Only those of Sashi/Berry/Jackson/Haslam count.
And if you don't think that Jimmah may not be enamored with having the local boy wonder QB come in and be the savior of the franchise...i.e. the new "Bernie Kosar" you would be mistaken.
Roll with Kess and get him someone to throw to @ 12.
Then fix the secondary/D in the 2nd and 3rd rounds
IF the Browns are seriously considering taking a QB in round one....it tells you, I think, that they do not think that Kessler has what it takes to be an NFL starting QB. Perhaps a backup, but not a franchise type guy.

I would be enamored if Trubisky was a 3 year starter @ UNC and we took him @ 1. He had one good year @ UNC. What makes you think he won't be Mark Sanchez 2.0?
Garrett is the consensus pick @ 1. He has the size, intangibles, and numbers to back himself up. He is what we need to make our D more competitive.
I would consider Trubisky @ 12, if he's there.
If not, fucking take a good pass catcher and be done! If they really want another QB im sure Webb/Kizer/Dobbs will be there on Day 2
It would be a mistake to throw another rookie QB to the wolves.. Fix the team and take Sam Darnold next year if Kessler isn't the answer..

There is NO such thing as a consensus #1 pick. The consensus is the consensus of ONE, i.e. the Cleveland Browns front office. Nothing that anyone else on the planet thinks matters.

I would too....but he won't be there. Not at all.

What they want is a franchise QB...not another backup QB, which is what these other guys basically would be. ONLY MT or possibly Watson have in them imo to be quality NfL starting QBs.
It would be a mistake to throw another rookie QB to the wolves.. Fix the team and take Sam Darnold next year if Kessler isn't the answer..
a. What makes you think Darnold would be there next year.
B. What makes you think Darnold would be any better
C. Why would you throw Darnold to the wolves any more than anyone you take this year?
Besides, you don't "throw him to the Wolves". What do you think the moves to improve the OL line were all about? Wolf bane. What do you think the acquisition of Oswieler was all about? Wolf bane. All moves meant to protect a future franchise QB. Get super protection up front...and have a "bridge QB" on hand to start the year.

If the overwhelmingly vast majority of the football universe is saying Garrett is the best player available that happens to fill an enormous need, I don't see what the problem is. Does Garrett have some holes in his game? I'm sure he does, just like every player on earth. And this story could absolutely be nothing at all. There could be zero truth to it. The problem is our team's history. We almost ALWAYS wheel and deal in and around the first round. We can't HELP ourselves. We get so caught up on getting the best deal possible, that we NEVER CONSIDER GETTING THE BEST PLAYER POSSIBLE.

The problem is threefold: A. It is not the vast majority of the football universe making this choice...it is Sachi Brown and company. NO ONE else matters. and B. Perhaps in their minds Garrett is NOT the best player available. C. and Perhaps in their mind Garrett does NOT fill an enormous need. Again, they drafted pass rushers last year in rounds 2-3 and 4. They may just want "roll with them".

No, the problem with this team's history is NOT the wheeling a dealing they do, but is the choices they make once the dealing is done.
And, again.....this FO MAY have different ideas on what is considered the best player available.
I am sure that with ALL the failed draft picks they have made in the past, they took the choice of what they thought was the best player available.
Even with #1 overalls: Tim Couch thought to be the best choice available. Was not. Courtney Brown thought to be the best choice available. Was not.
And so on and on it goes.

He may be more talented than Sanchez ever is/was. But one year of college ball and then going to the game's highest level is not going to be an easy transition.
Taking Trubs @ 1 would be a huuuge reach!
And if you have looked at our history of recent 1st round QBs we've drafted, the track record isn't very good... Weeden, Quinn, Manziel. All fails.
Doesn't necessarily mean Trubisky will fail, but you have to take this into consideration..
Kessler was good, not great, but good. 92 QBR with a makeshift o-line and little help from his receivers outside of TP.
IF Trubisky is taken #1, the pressure is enormous to play him right away.
Let's say Kess beats out Trubs in training camp, then what? Sit him until an injury happens or for the whole year and let him watch?
Then we would have wasted our first overall pick for the 2017 season. Garrett would for-sure be a starter on our D. There is no guarantee Mitch could even beat out Kessler in camp.
Look at Alex Smith in KC. Doesn't have a cannon for an arm but is accurate and limits mistakes. Kessler can be our Alex Smith, if we wanna go that route..
Knowing Cleveland and knowing Haslam, we will be taking a QB in the 1st..
However that would be a huge mistake. There are other areas of need that we can fill in this draft.
Trubisky will be there @ 12. SF is going to have a helluva time passing up on Solomon Thomas or Jamal Adams @ 2..

This is strategy/noise and nothing else. It blocks a SF trade-down because Garrett might be there. It opens a conversation with other teams for a trade down, whereby they can get a Hooker or Trubisky instead and perhaps another first or second rounder for next year. But if the Browns are stuck at #1, it will be Garrett.

Interesting take on the impact on SF... of course as soon as the #1 pick is announced, that restriction is gone.
And the Texans were "stuck" at #1 when they took Clowney, but there were lingering questions about him that are just not there this year.

A person is a reach only if they are ultimately unsuccesful. Spergon Wynn was a HUGE reach as a 6th round pick.
No one thought Ryan Leaf was a reach...some thought he should have gone #1 ahead of Peyton.
It only matters how one actually performs, not how they are projected to perform.
If say, Garrett turns into Courtney Brown 2.0..then HE would be a "huge reach".
And if you have looked at our history of recent 1st round QBs we've drafted, the track record isn't very good... Weeden, Quinn, Manziel. All fails.
Doesn't necessarily mean Trubisky will fail, but you have to take this into consideration..
No, you don't. Browns have as bad or worse record at taking pass rushers. Courtney Brown, Kam Wimbley. Barkevious Mingo. Shouldn't we take this poor track record into account as much as we do for the QBs.
Kessler was good, not great, but good. 92 QBR with a makeshift o-line and little help from his receivers outside of TP.
IF Trubisky is taken #1, the pressure is enormous to play him right away.
Let's say Kess beats out Trubs in training camp, then what? Sit him until an injury happens or for the whole year and let him watch?
Then we would have wasted our first overall pick for the 2017 season. Garrett would for-sure be a starter on our D. There is no guarantee Mitch could even beat out Kessler in camp.
There is NO sure guarantee that Garrett could beat out Nassib or whomever in camp.
You think you know something, but you don't know shit.
Every player taken is a risk.
And now the Browns do NOT have a "makeshift" OL.....they have a super solid OL....or at least it seems they should.
And as far as I am concerned, even if they take MT, NO, he should not start right away, even if he is #1 overall.
Look at Alex Smith in KC. Doesn't have a cannon for an arm but is accurate and limits mistakes. Kessler can be our Alex Smith, if we wanna go that route..
I would rather go the route of having MT be our Aaron Rodgers.
Knowing Cleveland and knowing Haslam, we will be taking a QB in the 1st..
However that would be a huge mistake. There are other areas of need that we can fill in this draft.
Again...you don't know shit about if it would be a mistake. It may be a mistake not to draft him. You don't know the future.
Trubisky will be there @ 12. SF is going to have a helluva time passing up on Solomon Thomas or Jamal Adams @ 2..
Trubisky will NOT be there at 12. You have not been watching the NFL and how it operates this century if you think that.

Certainly it IS possible that it is all just smoke and mirrors and nothing else. On the other hand, this FO group does have a different way of thinking outside the mainstream. That is something we must all remember.
