"With the First Pick of the 2018 Draft, the Browns Select..."

The Browns Board
216 43 7.8k
  • It isn't just me... in the same article, he lists the top ten in the draft:

    1. Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
    2. Sam Darnold, QB, USC
    3. Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama
    4. Arden Key, EDGE, LSU
    5. Derwin James, S, Florida State
    6. Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
    7. Quenton Nelson, OG, Notre Dame
    8. Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
    9. Harold Landry, EDGE, Boston College
    10. Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming

    Darnold should probably stay in school, and I wouldn't draft Rosen - personality/character flaws.

    I don't see in Rudolph's career where he has faced adversity. gawdy numbers, sure. See that #10 there?

    and, OMG, you let Minkah Fitzpatrick fall down to the Browns' second pick,

    and I would have a seriously tough time between him and Ridley. Seriously.

  • #10 is a big mistake. I think there is a job in the Browns FO just itching to put you in charge of player selection. Must continue the T-shirt tradition at all costs.😛

  • invalid conclusion - no evidence that backs up your claims. I think half of this board could do a better job of picking

    a qb and wr for the Browns. you disagree?😄

  • I get to see little college stuff until the season is over so forgive me if wrong, but I thought Allen had been struggling? 

  • yes, he did striggle a few games. But he doesn't have a solid class of players around him. He raises the level of play up

    hugely. Same thing for Carson Wentz - in 2016, the only N.Dakota players drafted were Wentz...and his OT who went in

    the fifth round.

  • Josh Allen and Josh Adams?

    Adams looks badass

  • Vegas odds for the No. 1 pick: 4/1 Saquon Barkley 6/1 Sam Darnold 6/1 Josh Rosen 8/1 Minkah Fitzpatrick 12/1 Mason Rudolph 25/1 Josh Allen

  • Barkley

    Saquan Barkley, Penn State!

    Nope. Browns HAVE to take best QB available. Now if they somehow land Cousins, Barkley is in play.

    You can’t just keep drafting and ruining qb’s, a qb needs a supporting cast and frankly drafting another one so high will in my opiniOn only set the team back. You draft Barkley and take pressure off whatever quarterback is under center and if that doesn’t work out then you draft a quarterback. I personally like kizer but he was put in with an uphill battle. I don’t think Crowell is bad but he’s not scaring anyone. Barkely is a multifaceted threat with good blitz pick up. You draft Barkley and don’t look back and watch kizer improve.

    I don't think you have a clue.  The Browns keep drafting bad QBs.   They do nothing to "ruin" them.....they ruin themselves.  It is the bad QBs that ruin the Browns, not the other way around.

    That would be like saying that BR really has no effect on the Steelers winning or losing.

    Quarterbacks matter.  None of these QBs that you claim the Browns ruined went on to any other situation and did one bit better.  They simply proved that they were as mediocre or as bad as they were here.

    Now, I am not saying that some of these QBs were not put into bad situations....they were.  But they weren't ruined by those.  They just proved that they were not good enough to handle them.

  • Wyoming vs 6-2 Colorado State @ Laramie on CBSSN (221 Direct TV) @7pm eastern today.................about 45 min. from now if you want to see Josh Allen.

     Naturally my wife has us playing bridge so I'm recording for tomorrow since there is no Browns game.

    Draft Barkley? right- how many Super Bowls has Adrian Peterson been to? Landainan Tomlinson? 

    Get real. We passed on Wentz, took a bum in Kizer. He's a slightly better version of Akilli Smith. Reminds me a lot of the bad RG III also. Watch much of Deshone? His accuracy is terrible,  something I duly noted before the draft. Yup, we get Gordon back in December, and Kizer will be throwing the ball 7 feet over his head too. It's not like we haven't tried drafting QBs- we've just drafted the wrong ones. 

  • The more tape I review of Baker Mayfield the more I like his game. This class as a whole is night and day vs 2016. Kiser would have been a day 3 prospect this year. Which is probably why he came out last year tbh.

    If I had a gun on me I would go Mayfield at 1 and then best FS for the 1st round.

    I'm cooling on Rosen at this point because of injurys and concussions. Jackson is bad passer and should not be considered in the first round. May be an excellent WR someday though

    Ben had a great defense, solid offensive line, offensive weapons. You don’t just plunk down a rookie qb and expect fireworks and wins. Yes the browns have ruined quarterbacks, namely Tim couch. Kizer isn’t a bad qb either, he’s a rookie with nothing around him.

    Rivers is a playoff choke artist otherwise the chargers had a great roster for a while. Peterson never had a qb because they never drafted a good one. They reached on ponder and Peterson tainted his career in the midst of bridgewater who also caught the injury bug.

    His offensive line is a sieve, but make no mistake, Allen can make all the throws look easy. What an arm.

    Hes going to be special. The Browns must take him. This is it and taking Allen will change the Browns franchise forever for the good. Fvck Darnold.

    Allen looked like crap. This is the 3rd game i have watched this year with him and he is totally unimpressive. If the Browns pick him he will be another for the t-shirt of shame.

    Yeah I see a big arm and that is it.

    He has not even completed 60% of his college passes against mediocre teams, even last year with better players. Ridiculous pick for a pro team.

    I am interested to see how the QBs shape up between now and the draft. Someone will jump to the top of the heap.

  • jm looked great in games. I'm sure ryan leaf looked great in games. I don't know how you can only see a great arm.

    He looks off safeties, he scans the field quickly, gets rid of the ball quickly if he has a chance at all, and he can

    run, can easily make all the throws, is a multi-sport athlete, and he is very, very accurate.

    and very, very smart. excellent character, loves the game....oh, he is the top qb in this draft in my book of Wentz was the

    perfect qb.
