  • Sorry,  I meant Indiana.   Georgia St shut him down,  as did NW.... Pitt did ok.

    Best QB.

    This is the draft to do it. I like Josh Allen, but there are so many good QBs in this draft. The Browns can be the Steelers with Ben looking to retire. Then the rabbit will have the gun.

    Josh Allen? Just no. I watched his game against a very poor NM team and he is not even  as good as Hogan or Kessler, just taller/bigger. If we pick him then just add him to the t-shirt as another failed Browns pick @ QB. Not the first time I've seen him and he is just not NFL 1st team material IMO.

    Also watched Rosen and Darnold. To bad if Sam doesn't come out. He looked better this week than I've seen in brief views this season. Rosen has no defense so hard to judge how he would be with a real defense where he is not required to carry the team every play. I've seen him before and he's a better pick than Allen by far.

    Have not watched the Louisville QB so he's on my radar for later in the season.

  • I'm against taking any HB high in the first, unless that's literally the only thing you're missing. 

  • Barkley isn't the back that Zeke or Fournette is.    Sorry, but he's not as explosive, powerful nor has the catching ability the media claims.

    Bobbled and had another drop on two open catches last week against UM alone.

    Barkley just took a 97 yard kickoff back for a TD today~ Nice

    Those 21 carries for 44 yards were nice too. He would be a horrible pick.

    I agree we shouldnt take a rb high, but barkley is a stud.  I just wouldnt take any rb high.  If you actually watched the tOSU game he was literally getting hit right when he took the handoff.  Complete domination by psu o-line.  Whenever he has a little space it's clear he is the best rb in college football by far.  Scouts see that, which is he he will be a high pick(but again we shouldnt take him...not because hes not great but because we shouldnt take a rb)

    I'll let you blame the OL for a game or two a year (like Fournette against Alabama). But you don't get to use that excuse against teams like Indiana, Pitt, etc. 

    I'm glad everyone is coming around to the truth here.

    ummm...they arent.  He's still one of the top people on everyone's board for a reason.  So enjoy continuing to talk to yourself and convince yourself of something here.

    It really does.

    Enough with being cute. Target your QB and get him. Then get him some WRs. The Browns cannot go into next season with the absolute nonsense they have collectively at the WR position.

    The Browns have five picks in the first two rounds. There's a good chance they won't have to trade up to get a QB, so they should be able to use all of them. Get your QB, get a WR, get a LT to replace Thomas (now or eventually), etc...

    It's really hard to trade up farther then the #1 pick that they're likely to have anyways.   So they'll have the pick of the bunch.

    Haha... I'm starting to wonder if San Fran will ever win a game too. Then it becomes a battle of strength of schedules

    They've been close every week (except for being blown out by Dallas) whereas we've really only been close 2 out of 8 games.  The rest have been blowouts.

    The 49ers next two games are against the Cardinals (who they lost to earlier this season by 3 points) and then the 1-6 NY Giants, so there's hope.

    Just like Trent Richardson was, right? (and Trent was double the back in college as Barkley)

    Im confused on wtf point you are trying to make here?  Yes, trent richardson was high on everyone's board too.  So was Zeke Elliot. So was adrian peterson. So was bunches of players over the years, some of whom had good careers and some of whom didn't.....what's the point with respect to barkley?

    Im in agreement with you that we shouldnt consider drafting barkley.  I dont want to spend a high first round pick on a rb.  Thats stupid.  

    But Barkley is clearly going to be the first back off the board because just looking at the film he is the best back in college football by far.  He's strong and elusive and shifty and has big play ability.  None of that has changed in terms of how people percieve him.

    In the 0-fer Bowl I still like the BROWNS chances......FWIW. As far as ideal pick now depends on your wish list:

    1.Another shot at a franchise QB?

    2. OL? New  LT? Other?

    3. Stud RB?

    The point is that where the draft gurus have a guy this far out means nothing. 

    You can’t explain away the guy’s rushing stats. You just can’t. They’re terrible for what this guy is being hyped as. 

    Do I think this guy can/will catch balls like a mofo in the NFL though? Absolutely.

    Sign Cousins, sign a tackle to eventually replace Joe Thomas (That is, if he can make it back..)

    Draft Saquon Barkley. Kid is a scoring machne. 230lbs and runs a 4.3 40. We need a running game.

    Draft a CB with our 2nd 1st pick, and go WR, FS, LB for the next 3 picks. We can find good talent in the 2nd at those positions

    Hope to god that Josh Gordon and/or Corey Coleman can return in 2018 and play a full season..

    I can promise you Barkley doesn't run a 4.3.  

    edit:

    If we take Jackson #1 overall then this franchise Shmucking deserves to pack it up and fold.
