  • This is not a good QB DRAFT class. No sure fire starters worthy of an over all Number 1 selection.

    Potential, yes. Number 1 pick over all pottential ...... I'm just not seeing it.

  • Just watched a LB named Tanking play at Kansas State but there was this Brady Tude guy at Oklahoma named Baker Mayfield..Man that kid is fun to watch

    If this is true, then we can count on the FO to trade back and accumulate 9 fourth round picks that will be future PS players.

  • It sure seems like Sam Darnold's draft stock is shitting the bed. Losing 28-0 to Notre Dame at half.

  • Screw drafting one,  pay Cousins enough to bring him here. Proven commodity, we can't afford any more lottery tickets at QB. Alternatively if Brisset takes Indy to the playoffs perhaps we can trade picks for Luck?

    I know but it's better than the one in which we took the 4th QB off the board.

    I've often been a roll the dice on some low pick and hope he turns into Tom Brady. Maybe it's time to just make the damned investment.

    Amen to cousins brother.

    Cousins would be my #1 target, and I would throw enough money at him that he couldn't refuse. 

  • I wonder what the Colts would ask for to get Luck.

  • I started talking about Andrew Luck this week, and it's worth exploring. Obviously it depends on his health, but it's something that could really turn us around quickly if we were to also acquire some WRs. 

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but I do NOT like this group of QBs at THIS POINT. There's still a lot of time for things to change, but I'm not seeing anything from anyone that tells me "we have to draft this guy". The only guy that really has me thinking is Lamar Jackson, and I just don't know if he can truly carry an NFL loaf. Deshaun Watson is actually helping his draft status immensely, but Watson was a senior who was much more established as a passer. Lamar is much more prolific as a runner, and I don't think we've EVER SEEN a QB with his level of speed, size, and agility. But you really don't want a running QB in the pros, and Lamar must be able to win from the pocket and do it consistently to be able to make it for any length of time. 

    Lamar beat my Noles again, and didn't really have his best game. Actually, I take that back. He would've won easily if his receivers caught his two PERFECTLY thrown deep balls. I mean they were magnificent. Lamar CAN definitely throw the deep ball, it's whether or not he can master other routes in NFL playbooks. He's also very young, and I'd probably prefer another year of college before throwing him out on the field. This won't happen before he'll be mocked in the top 10, and he'd be a fool not to take the money. 

    We aren't going to tank, but it's also likely we aren't going to win a game either. We simply don't have the necessary offensive talent to score those pesky touchdowns, and our receivers are laughably terrible. Kizer can't win with these schmucks, even if he actually threw it to the correct team all game. There are two or three games we COULD win, but everything would have to go right, and we all know that generally doesn't happen for us. We need Coleman back, but I'm not sure when that will be. Maybe 4 weeks from now? What we REALLY need is Josh Gordon AND Corey Coleman back, but Josh hasn't even APPLIED for reinstatement yet, and we are way too smart to ever get our hopes up for him. Britt is about to get cut, our other receivers are miserable, and Kizer hasn't displayed the ability to get better anyway. 

    Kizer doesn't have to be completely amazing for this year to be considered a success, but he does obviously have to play much better. What really hurts is he's ALMOST done that, but his red zone efficiency has been so completely awful that it overshadows anything else he's done. If Kizer can somehow fix the red zone woes, it's possible he can salvage this season and give our team a chance to win a couple. Even if we just settle for FG's and take 3 points, that's infinitely better than the terrible turnovers. But...that's not a failsafe either because our poor kicker is miserable and I still don't trust Hue Jackson calling plays in the red zone. Hue needs to step up and Kizer needs to execute. WE NEED MORE POINTS. 

    I like the fact Kizer called the players only meeting. I like the fact he got to sit and experience what that felt like. I like the fact he appears to take this very seriously and he seems to understand what's at stake. I've all but written Kizer off, but I've been wrong before and I realize he's VERY young. He needs to find a way to make some plays without turning it over, and our other players and coaches need to do everything in their power to help him out. That being said....here's my official prediction for today. 

    Browns - 13

    Titans - 34

    Send Cousins the San Francisco especially if they have the first pick.

  • It takes two to tango, and I'm not sure there's enough money in the world to convince a free agent like Cousins to come here when he's got options to go ANYWHERE/SOMEWHERE else.

    If he's going to a shitty team, you'd think he'd go to San Fran, where he has a connection with Shanahan.

    I believe he means round 1 pick 3.   (an educated guess)

    What did the Redskins give up to the Rams to get RGIII?

    Multiply that by 2.

    I don t know why the statement "this is not a good QB class" comes up each and every year but it does. We have stood back based on rhat euphemism and watched quite a few really good qbs get taken.

    I think the Browns have been crippled by fear and their failure to parricipate in rhe top QB market has been a mistake.

    That said, Kizer looks good today. The team continues to jurr irself with penalties

  • We have to.  Those who haven't started the watch, it's probably time.

    I wasn't one to say that in past drafts as I am not a believer in trading down. I believe in drafting elite players as drafting early allows you to do. I would have drafted several QB's Browns passed on.

    I go on record as making the QB statement for THIS upcoming draft. There will be a successful QB in the upcoming draft, the question is (draft spot aside) will the  Browns select the right one ?

  •  ND looks a million times better now than they did with Kizer starting. I know he's not the only reason,  but it can't be a pure coincidence.
