The Browns are on the clock!

Got to love Baker Mayfield. He gave the Manziel money sign to signal a play to his team in the first touchdown drive.
Draft this man!

I'd prefer that the Browns sign Kirk Cousins and draft Saquon Barkley and Minkah Fitzpatrick in the top 4. If possible, trade out of the top pick while still getting these guys.

I'm desperate for an elite QB. Pick up Cousins AND one of the top QB's at the draft to go along with Kizer. Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if they picked up Cousins and drafted two QB's with the #1+#4..
-
my Hopes are
rd 1
#1 Saquan Barkley
#4 Minkah Fitzpatrick
rd 2
#33 Baker Mayfield
#35 Orlando Brown/Clelin Ferrell
Offseason
Martavia Bryant. Richard Sherman. i personally dont want to change the defense too much. With how poor the offense was. The defense being on the field more often then they should have been. They played well.
my Hopes are
Richard Sherman.
What would it cost to get Sherman? A 2nd or 3rd rounder maybe because he's injured?

That DL for Bama, R.Davis I believe, looks like a man among boys on that line 6'7 306 Any info on him?

Bama's whole defense is so f'n quick and fast it'll make your head spin. All those 5***** players pay off. Tony Brown is not even a star but was considered to be the best overall player in Texas the year he signed with Bama as a 5***** DB.
EDIT: I'd love to pick up Fitzpatrick. He operates the Bama defense like he was the DC on the field. Diagnoses what's going on and call the plays for the D. One smart guy with a ton of talent to go with it.

what was sashi thinking?
He was sitting in a bar drinking with Johnny, the Homeless Guy staggered, in and told him "ya gotta draft Kizer".

Jesus, Joseph, Mary and God.......................please no!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fire Dorsey now! Allen is not Wentz!

Wentz was not Wentz when he was coming out either.
I bet that by draft day, Allen is Wentz...

There is no way in hell Allen is Wentz War. I watched everything I could about Carson at ND State. Are their college games similar? Stylistically, yes. But the difference is Allen is a scattershot cannon in comparison to Wentz. You want to draft Deshone Kizer II? Allen is your guy. If his completion % doesn't scare you- it sure does me.

+1-----------if Dorsey takes this guy we are toast for another 10 years. He's a disaster waiting to happen only because he looks (but not plays) the part. On the plus side we would have a new team song.
-
Allen has never completed better than 56% of his passes in his college career for a season.....
-
Rosen and a DB in the first round -- don't overthink it.
And get Jim Caldwell as OC, and while we're dreaming get Chuck Pagano as a DC who won't blitz on 2 of every 3 plays.

yeah, he doesn't have star wr's and his offensive line is often outpowered and outquicked. Look at the difference between Mayfield, an amazing college playmaker qb, in the first half, and thenhis second half. It's just inaccurate to put so much emphasis on completion percentage of a qb, without considering that it's a team game. Allen is similar to Elway, except without a very, very competitive cast of other players with him.
It's a team game. I like Darnold and Mayfield, but Allen is NFL class caliber. If Allen falls to Denver at 7, it will be Elway all over again.
Seriously - if completion percentage is the deal, draft this kid:
Honorable Mention: Logan Woodside, Toledo
The Rockets' senior quarterback completed 23 of 31 passes for 361 yards in the win over Northern Illinois on Saturday. After completing 69.1 percent of his throws at 9.88 yards per attempt with 45 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2016, the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is connecting on 64.3 percent of his passes at 10.1 yards per attempt with 19 touchdowns and just two picks on the season. Toledo runs a Big 12-ish spread attack, but Woodside has been exceptional operating it over the past two years. He has a nice delivery and quality arm with reliable accuracy. He's a dark horse quarterback prospect.
-
Cal, Allen was on a team with equal talent to everyone else in his conference. The Mountain West isnt overflowing with talent. Last year, Allen had guys around him that made it to the pros. His completion percentage was just as bad as it was this year. The windows for a WR to get open will only get smaller in the big league.
I think we have heard the story of the inaccurate QB in college going to the pros a few times in Cleveland....painfully enough.
-
Whatever QB they draft, just know that our coaching staff will do a great job to tailor the offense around the QB's strengths
-
Nobody wants these QBs this year. They ALL have question marks beside them. Don't try to get cute and overthink it.
You draft Saquon Barkley #1 overall and come right back and take Mayfield at #4.
QB- Mayfield, Hogan, Kizer
RB- Barkley, Johnson, Dayes
WR- Gordon, Coleman, Higgins
TE- Njoku, DeValve
It's time to get offensive. The defense will be okay if we could just put some pressure on the other team for a change.
Plus we still have 3 #2s.

The early picks are going to be VERY dependent on what we do in March during free agency. Specifically, what we do at the QB position. Browns fans will groan at reading this, but if we get one of the 2 qb's I want during the off season (Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins), we don't need to draft someone at 1 or 4. Smith is obviously getting older, but I'd be more than fine going into the season with Smith and Kizer backing him up. Same thing with Cousins, and while they both would be financially expensive, neither would cost draft picks unless we had to trade for Smith if he wasn't released.
Here's a real scenario that could happen: We sign Smith/Cousins for stupid money. We trade #1 to move down to low teens and get 1st rounder and more next year. We draft Minkah Fitzpatrick at 4. We draft Calvin Ridley with other 1st rounder. We then draft RB Darius Guice or RB Bryce Love in 2nd round, then we add two more defenders with the other 2nd rounders, and add OL in the 3rd.
This is essentially a new team, and it's not impossible. In fact, it's far from it. Obviously it'll be difficult to get Smith or Cousins to come here, I'm not stupid. Those are the top qb's and everyone without one will be gunning for them. If I had to guess, Alex Smith will go to Denver, and Cousins is either staying put or going to a team that isn't 0-16. But don't underestimate the power of the almighty dollar.
It goes without saying that Kizer struggled this season. But he also looked better when he had Josh Gordon on the field (duh). In fact, Kizer played well enough to actually WIN a couple games with Gordon on the field, and it was truly amazing to see just how a star caliber player affected the game. You saw glimpses of how our offense COULD work successfully. Obviously we shot ourselves in the foot with turnovers and special teams, but Kizer should've won the Green Bay game with the pass to Njoku, and we know what happened with Coleman Sunday. The real killer was that Kizer didn't see Gordon in the middle of the field on that play. Gordon doesn't just make that catch, he goes on for the TOUCHDOWN. Don't believe me? Go back (if you dare) and watch that play. Gordon is on the edge of the screen with nobody around him.
Anyway, back to the draft. If we DON'T get a starting QB in free agency, we'll be forced to draft a QB early who probably isn't ready to play. The more I study these incoming guys, the less I think ANY are ready, let alone ready for "The Browns". I just don't see it. Rosen is by far the most ready, but he's got freaking concussion issues. Darnold is a turnover machine, Lamar is a project, Josh Allen is just NO and Baker Mayfield has question marks as well. I firmly believe our entire philosophy is "get a veteran starting QB at all costs", and I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I mean, if we draft a QB #1 overall, do any of you guys REALLY think he's going to beat out Deshone Kizer? Now that you've stopped laughing, think about it. Hue Jackson and his offense are coming back, regardless of having a new OC or not. Kizer will enter the off season knowing the language, the sets, how to call plays, the blocking assignments, and whatever else. And did I mention Kizer is 21 years old? That's freaking YOUNG, and he's going to put work in. I just don't see how a rookie could beat him out...not in this class.
Veteran QB and veteran wide receivers, that's what Dorsey is looking for on offense. We'll get the RB in the draft, as it's VERY deep. Defense will be drafted and also addressed in free agency. Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins, Sam Bradford, Case Keenum, Teddy Twatwater...those are the guys we'll be targeting. Am I missing anyone? Get ready for a new team and crazy off-season.

Or Georgia's Nick Chubb-the man can break tackles and has a higher top end gear than the Crow + better vision.

- I don't think you are wrong... just not specific enough. Not just any vet QB will do as about half the names strung onto the jersey testify. Smith is the only name we have a good shot at. Cousins will go to a contender for less money than we offer. Vikes will keep Case and Teddy. Sam? Maybe, but his health concerns and spotty career would just add to the jersey.
- There's one QB in this class that would blow by Kizer before the 3rd preseason game of 2018 and at least two more that would likely beat him out by the start of the regular season. Kizer simply stopped progressing the last 1/4 of the season.
