    Biggest Hope: That these two weeks go faster than the ones leading up to Xmas as a kid.

    Biggest Fear: I get switches again draft night instead of presents. 😛

        Biggest Hope: That my kids lead long healthy happy successful lives.

        Biggest Fear: That they don't

        This football stuff is not worth enough to worry about hopes and fears about it.

          Lol. Let's try his plan and draft a mediocre QB in a weak QB class NUMBER ONE overall instead of waiting for a much better class next year.

            Gip, we would have to change the thread to "Kids: hopes and fears". If that were the case, my list would be three miles long. I have three girls.

            Hope: draft two non-busts in first round (or more). Take Garrett.

            Fear: draft two or more busts and not taking Garrett. Trading down again and getting fucked by yet another team.

                Biggest hope: that the Browns draft is so successful that this front office gets recognized as savvy, putting to rest the unnecessary bashing that they've received.

                Biggest fear: that the Browns brain trust can't select the players that they want because they keep getting selected before Cleveland is on the clock.

                  Biggest hope: Browns open the season with a 51-0 win over Pittsburgh, like in 1989.

                  Biggest fear: Browns start the 2017 off shitty, and this board turns to 2018 draft talk in late October

                    Oh, OK, the topic was the Draft.

                    My biggest fear for the "draft" was that I would get drafted to go to Vietnam.

                    My biggest hope was that I would draw a high draft lottery number.

                    My biggest hope was fulfilled: I pulled a 292. That is like the only lottery I have won in my life.

                    😮😁😎😳😵

                        Seriously? There is often more interesting stuff in there than in here.

                        And can I assume that because of your intolerance for varying opinions, that you do not participate in the Political Forum?

                        (I do not because: A. If someone wants to discuss politics with me...they have to pay me to do so...as it is a part of my profession, and B. Because of that profession there are certain ethical restrictions on me associated with that area.

                          I was in Ft. Benning, Ga. just finishing up Infantry School. Who says God has no sense of humor? 😆

                          A year later at about that same date, I'm ducking down during a mortar attack thinking, "Oh shit don't land right here!" 🥷

                                  A year later at about that same date, I'm ducking down during a mortar attack thinking, "Oh shit don't land right here!" 🥷

                                  Cool that the original national lottery results are still around...

                                  I misremembered my number... it actually was 303, but the draft still missed me by a mile.

                                  I can still remember watching the "drawing" live with my two best buds from HS... one of whose Birthday was the day after mine. When I got 303 he thought he was surely screwed, but ended up with 243. Other bud also ended up safely in the bottom one-third.

                                      Biggest Hope- Garrett - Trubisky -McCafferey

                                      Biggest Fear- not getting Fournette...

                                        Biggest hope: that the Browns draft is so successful that this front office gets recognized as savvy, putting to rest the unnecessary bashing that they've received.

                                        Biggest fear: that the Browns brain trust can't select the players that they want because they keep getting selected before Cleveland is on the clock.

                                        Browns are selecting earlier and more often than anyone else. If your fear happens........... that's on them.
