  • Yeah let's trade down and pass on blue chip talent..

    FUCKIN' NOOOOO!!

    STAY PUT AND TAKE GARRETT, ASSHOLES!

  • One thing fueling these various reports/rumors is the fact that any number of people who are scrutinizing Garrett are coming up with a variety of "holes" in his game. I know the Gays for Gayrett don't want to hear it, but it is a fact, from Booger McFarland to any number of other "analysts", they say he has weaknesses in his game that are a bit concerning.

    That, plus the fact that QB is such a dire need for the Browns (and DE is not), and the fact that it is believed that a potentially equally or nearly equally talented edge rusher can be obtained later on in the draft, perhaps at #12.

  • Hey... at least it's only "Scoop" Schefter...

    Certainly. If so, why are we all talking about any of it?

    I did put up a trivia thread....relating to Browns drafting. You could go there to get away from the silliness for a bit.

    Yes it is, especially for anyone giving Booger McFarland any credence if it's not LSU. Worst LSU homer out there.

    Obviously Von Miller is the guy to listen to. 😉

    I would rather have him on my team... so just be seen and not heard.

  • Just out of interest if the Titans offered 5, 18 and 33 for the number 1 would you do it ... ?

    We then have 5,12,18,32,33 and 52 in the first 2 rounds ...

    Well... since we already own the #33 and the Saints own the #32 and TN does not even have a 2nd round pick in this draft.... No. 😉

    But even if the trade you propose was possible? Hmmmmm... No... and I hesitated just to be polite...

    5 and 18 might do it. But throw in say a 4th rounder. I would think long and hard on it...and probably favor it.

    FO already said they are not in the trade down business this year because of the # of quality picks we have the 1st two days and the depth of talent in this draft. I think I actually believe them this year.

    Sure, but, the question was asked "what would YOU do"...not what would the Browns FO do.

    The basic reason I might favor it is that 3 outstanding players on your team are better than 2 outstanding players on your team.

    And as I pointed out elsewhere, based on a link that was provided, our dire needs at QB are 10 out of 10, at OLB its 9 out of 10, at DE, CB, FS, DT it is like 8 out of 10. I would like perhaps to see 3 of those spots go to 1 out of 10.....better 3 than 2.

  • 5, 18 and a 2018 3rd and I'm on board.

    I love Garret's potential, but it's still only potential.

    MG is the best prospect in this class, but Picking at five guarantees another elite defensive prospect (Allen, Adams, Hooker, Lattimore, Thomas) and allows to add another first rd talent like Conley, Mckinnley or McDowell. The 2018 3rd is icing on the cake.

    It's still close as I've fallen in love with the idea of Garrett coming at the QB from one side while Ogbah comes from the other but a 1st rd of: Allen, Howard, Conley is too good to pass up.

    There is no guarantee Allen would be there @ 5, so if he is off the table you're screwed right away. And Howard is likely gone by 12 and possible Conley too. So if you take that trade with one of those already gone and one of the others in jeopardy, it's a no go from the "git go". Think long, think wrong has been the Browns' mantra since 1999.

    I was just giving an example of one possible outcome. Either way, pick 5 will net an elite defensive prospect. If its up to me, allen will be gone by pick 5, but that means another stud will be there. The added value of the caliber of player available at 18 offsets the drop between Garrett and whoever the Browns would get at 5 in my humble opinion.

    You'll get Adams or Allen. I'm good wth that.

  • War............So if the trade goes through and the picks go as below in no particular order after Garrett, who do you take @ #5? Lattimore, Hooker, Trubs?

    1. Garrett

    2. Allen

    3. Thomas

    4. Adams

    5. ??

    Yes.

  • Doesn't sound like we're trading down, and I know a bunch of people that would be EXTREMELY happy about that if Garrett is the guy. I can promise you that I'll be buying a Garrett jersey immediately (effectively ending his career in the NFL), and I think the overall excitement and buzz of taking the #1 pick and having it be someone like Garrett will be wonderful for Cleveland. I'm also excited that Garrett will get to practice against Joe Thomas, and I really believe that will help him sooner than later.

    The Browns need to stop trying to place value on their draft picks and start using their draft picks to acquire talent.

    Trubisky will go no later than #6 and will the steal of the draft for the Jets. Will Trubisky be the next great QB? Who knows. He IS however the best of this year's crop. If the Browns trade down past 6, they will have again gotten fucked and have a failed draft like they did last year.

    Take Trubisky #1, then take the big Clemson WR at 12# the rest of the draft is bullshit luck.

    Hue likes Black Tarkenton, he has a red ass over his RG3 decision. THe dumb bastard is all in for DeShit.

    If the Browns do trade down by chance, it will not be past #6. It could be to 5, but no lower, imo.
