Who's #1?
-
Rosen. No Mayfield.
-
Number 1 is.........................................................Rosen to the Giants as we trade down and then select Saquan Barkley with the Giants pick. Fitzpatrick with the next pick and grab the QB who slides (likely either Allen or Baker) in the 2nd (or a trade up into bottom of the 1st)
-
each QB has his own strengths and weaknesses. The problem is I don't think Hue "the QB guru" is capable of coaching anyone out of those weaknesses. Rosen seemed like the most NFL-ready but has major injury concerns and i don't think he will last long here (one nice thing about Kizer, he can at least take a hit). Of all these QBs, I like Mayfield and would not mind at all using the #1 pick on him, but I think he will be available at #4 which still begs the question; who to use the #1 on? Glaring holes would be the WR corps and the secondary on defense, but do the Browns burn a #1 pick on one of those positions? Do they continue THE PROCESS and trade down to amass more picks? Tough decisions coming up. I'd be worried about using the #1 on Allen which seems to be the latest gossip, but if he doesn't have to start right away it might not be so bad. I really wish the Browns were capable of coaching people up but for many of the "top picks" we have had it seems like when they join this team they forget how to play football.
I've been thinking the same thing. Let's look at the draft order. I have no problems flipping picks with the Giants- assuming Rosen is their guy and he doesn't want to come to Cleveland. The X factor is the Colts- who don't need a qb, and might be willing to trade down for the right price. They have plenty of holes on their team too.
Our departed draft scenario dreamer Shep might have cooked this one up. We flip picks with the Giants, moving from #1 to #2, gaining their third round pick. Then we trade up with the Colts (they move from #3 down to #4), giving them the pick we got from the Giants. So we're sitting at #2 and #3. Get the QB the Giants don't take and anyone else we have a fancy for.
I just don't think we're going to sit @ #4 hoping no one under us- won't do a sell the ranch deal to get the Colts pick, and we're left holding the bag again in the QB derby. Realistically, only the qb needy Broncos & Jets are in a position to move up- Arizona is so far down they'd have to give up too much to move from #15 to #3. (I'd LOVE to see Mayfield fall to #4, but I sure wouldn't count on it.) Last year no one (except Ghoolie with his crystal ball) thought Trubisky was going to get picked #2.
Other issue is- I don't see anyone other than qb at this point that's worth the #1 overall.

Allen is the right call and Dorsey is rumored to love him. Could all be BS though. Darnold might not come out so the prospects are dwindling if true.
Hey Boo, did you actually read what was in that link? Hardly flattering to Allen, and a damn good reason IMHO to not taking the chance on him.
"and lower than a 57% completion rate, the 6-foot-5, 220-pounder is rubbing shoulders with the likes of NFL whiffs Christian Hackenberg, Kyle Boller, Jake Locker, Joey Harrington and Tom Savage"

The combine is still to come.
Dont put your mock draft in ink just yet.
QBs throwing against no pressure while wearing shorts and throwing to uncovered WRs is going to prove Allen's worth?
-
It's a team game. Just ridiculous to lay a completion percentage rate on whether or not to
draft a qb. It's tough to find the right guy.
Stats are bogus as the only source of picking.
Great players who play with smaller colleges won't rank on stats as much as mediocre players
with great teams around them, and dominant in their conference.

consider these scouting reports on a sure to be a bust college qb:
“I think he has a good chance of being a bust. Just like every other Tedford-coached quarterback. Thing I struggle with him is he gets sacked a lot. He doesn’t have great ability to change the release of the football. He’s mechanically very rigid. Brett Favre can change his release point and find different windows. There will be more growing pains with Alex Smith but in the end he has a much better chance to be much better.”
And another:
“The guys that Tedford has had, what have they developed into? They’re too well-schooled. So mechanical. So robotic. I don’t know if they become good pro players. I think ************* is in that same mold.”
And the best all.
“I don’t like him. He’s a clone of Harrington and Boller. They all throw the same way. What have those guys done? Nothing. If you take him in the second round, fine. Heady guy. They do a marvelous job of coaching quarterbacks there. I don’t think he’s as good as the top quarterbacks coming out last year.”

Know who that qb was at the time? Anybody?

Carson Wentz completed 64% of his passes at North Dakota State. Joe Flacco completed 63% of his passes at Delaware.

You cant teach size, arm strength, quickness, throwing accurate on the run, maturity and confidence.
You can teach better decision making, film study, patience and team work.
That is absolutely true.
But I wouldn't use the #1 or #4 overall pick on a QB who is as much of a project as Josh Allen.
Jesus, we literally JUST DID THIS with Kizer.
-
Kizer was benched in college. bad sign. doesn't see things on the field. slow processing.
that was covered up mostly by the offense they run. not pro style.

Big News Guys.....

EDIT: Allen, schmallen.... Cal's gonna have nightmares about this until April....

rosen has no leadership qualities, a big arrogant, self absorbed mouth, and he reeks of rotten elderberries.
I can see Darnold, the guy who keeps fumbling.
But Allen is the choice to become the best qb of this draft. That is what we need. Just put a
veteran ahead of him and let him learn for a year.
Systematic Praise
Wyoming doesn't deploy Allen like most collegiate quarterbacks.
Watson and Trubisky, for example, operate out of simplistic offenses where their teams can exploit their abilities as runners. Yes, Allen will run the football, and the zone read is sprinkled into the play-calling, but it's not a staple.
Carson WentzDavid K Purdy/Getty Images
Instead, Wyoming's offense is a pro-style scheme from the same minds that gave the NFL Wentz.
Prior to his arrival in Laramie, Bohl started North Dakota State's recent string of championship success and recruited Wentz. Vigen shaped the Bison's offense as both Wentz and Brock Jensen's quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.
Scouts who evaluated this year's No. 2 overall pick will find a lot of similarities in how the staff uses Allen.
Wyoming's offense isn't in shotgun 100 percent of the time. Instead, Allen operates from under center and is asked to make three-, five- and seven-step drops. The scheme does include spread concepts like smoke routes, jet sweeps and run-pass options, but everything is present for the NFL to evaluate.
While these are available for everyone to see, certain parts of the evaluation aren't.
Competitiveness
There's a little Tom Brady in Allen. No, the young man isn't destined to become the NFL's greatest quarterback, but he carries a chip on his shoulder the size of a boulder. It drives him after he received little interest from teams around major college football.
"It was very frustrating having coaches overlook you, and it still fuels me every day that multiple coaches have done that," Allen said, per Foster. "I come out every game with the same mentality: 'I don't like your team. You didn't recruit me.'"
The Brady 6 drive the four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Allen likely won't experience the same wait as Brady—a sixth-round pick—did on draft day, but he views himself as having been slighted because he wasn't considered a top quarterback coming out of high school.
His competitive nature extends to the field, where coaches have to take him out of the game when he shows any sign of injury.
"If he's limping or something, come game time he just seems to forget," said Alex Gutierrez—Allen's high school baseball coach and quarterbacks coach, per Foster. "He just loves to compete, and that's something that I wouldn't want anyone to take away from him in any way, because that's what makes him who he is."
Allen's competitiveness helped drive Wyoming's success after it won only 15 games during the previous four seasons. In 2016, the Cowboys bested a then-nationally ranked Boise State and even beat the San Diego State Aztecs in regular-season play before falling to them in the Mountain West Championship Game.
Whether it's football, baseball or basketball, Allen wants the ball in his hands.

Now that the word is out- I have Allen #4 on my list behind- in no particular order: Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield.

rosen love is in more threads than I keep responding with allen. I just think Allen is the
qb you draft to have a great future qb. We will see how it all goes, eh? And I just post
articles about him, I didn't write them. Sorry, but everybody doesn't want to hump your rosen
fathead poster.

I'd guess that calfox is roughly 12 years old by the tone of his posts, but that can't be true.
That would have made him an embryo when he was waxing poetic about the hall of famer that was Charlie Frye.
