The First-pick Draft game thread
-
I say draft the best QB at # 1 and trade down with # 4 pick. There's a good chance a team will get hot for their QB on the board and be willing to move up a few spots to get him. I'm thinking Jets or Broncos. You may get a 2 nd rd pick and still get the player you want after the trade down.

Its a thought. I would like them to get Minkah Fitzpatrick however...and it would probably take #4 to get him.....though some on here proclaim Derwin James better...and you may get him at like #6 or 7. I don't know. I just know we need a damned good defensive back for this team...or two.

Barkley is the future. You take that guy #1 overall all day and 25+ times on Sunday or the Giants/Colts will snag him up. He has the potential to be the offensive rookie of the year. All eyes will be on him and what he's going to do in the pros. This kid is 20 years old and has all the tools you need and want in a feature back. I get that you typically don't draft RB #1 overall but if we want to get to winning, we need him. If you put the best parts of Crowell and Duke Johnson together you'd still need to add some more to create a player like Barkley. He's a rare player.
#4 - Take Fitz if he's really all that and a bag of chips. If not, take the QB... but I don't believe in Donald or Frozen to be the QBOTF. I think that Mayfield is better than both. I get that Mayfield has attitude but it's not the Manziel type that it's perceived to be. He's his own man and I think that he has that 'it' factor. He could be the QBOTF.

Sometimes guys are better in college than pros (most are), and on occasion guys are better in pros than college. A lot has to do with the team around then. Then there are guys who were really good both, and just over or under perform where they are drafted.
He can have all the measurables in the world, but I certainly didn't see #1 overall pick in Barkley. He just didn't perform great against his toughest competition. And a lot of backs go in later rounds and have productive careers. When you have so many other holes to fill, I would go with trying to fill others before RB when you can get one in FA, or later in draft.
Todd Gurley is really good, and he was 10th pick
-
I really like USC's Ronald Jones at RB.

It's easy to say that our new GM won't trade down because it's what every other GM did and failed at, but these guys all believe they're the smartest person in the room, so I'm thinking there will be SOME shaking and baking in the first round. And why not? We have two insanely high picks...there's a chance it might make sense to gather a few more resources in 2019. We do this right and we could build a team full of 1st and 2nd round talent for years to come. I think the main thing is not to trade down TOO far.
I mean, if we somehow sign Kirk Cousins, do we really need to pick 1 and 4? What if we could trade down from 1 to somewhere like 12 and get a 2019 first rounder and still get the #1 WR on our board? I'm the first one to say I don't believe we have a chance in heck to get Cousins, but I've been wrong before (ask my wife). More realistically, we're drafting a QB at 1, and taking Minkah Fitzpatrick at 4. It'd be pretty tough to beat that. Grab a RB, DB, and WR in round 2....and we're filling some major holes. And that's not even considering what we do in FA, which I believe will be a solid effort. Probably corner, WR (Pryor, Landry?), QB and who knows what else. I'm pretty stoked.

I thought is was gonna be Kizer? Oh, no? How many wins did Kizer have over Hogan? Hogan had the better stats and had he been allowed to play out the season, I promise you- we wouldn't have had a perfect season parade... I guess some people like that kind of Sheet.

Just started a new draft... NY decides to offer me the #2 overall and the 2nd pick in round 2 in order to move into the first spot.
-Thinking, Man they think we're taking Rosen or Darnold and they want their choice first... I oblige- I'm taking Barkley now matter what- lol I got their goat!
The NY Giants select... Saquon Barkley... dawg, really?
- Guys, you are going to LOVE Barkley! So what if we need to use the #1 on a RB. He's going to be amazing to watch! We still have another ridiculously high pick, 2 picks later. Come on guys, get on board. Let's do this Cleveland.
Barkley - Dawg Pound... Dog's bark... I get that it didn't exactly work out with Barkevious, but then again - he does have a Superbowl ring... So does Sheard. Any other former Browns out there got Superbowl rings? Or at least got to play in the Superbowl after leaving Cleveland?
- I know some of you question taking a RB #1 is risky. But, just trust me on this one.
-
The Browns should enter this draft with the mindset of "quality over quantity".
They have a ton of young players already. They don't need to get younger, they need to get better.
Aren't the BROWNS the youngest team in the NFL now? Maybe they want to smash that and become the youngest team ever in organized sports! And dammit with 12 picks they can do it.....GO BROWNS!

Not too bad all in all but I still forgo another rookie starter this year and how did Austintown, OH native and best interior lineman and best of three OHIO STATE first round players drop that far?

This might be my favorite yet. The Overall score I don't care about, it's about the players we are able to add at places that they make sense.
Hogan/Baker/Kizer
Barkley/Johnson/Hines
Gordon/St. Brown/Coleman/Cobbs Jr./Higgins - Louis/Coates/Williams - *Terrel Pryor*
Adding Vea next to Shelton will be unbelievable- so much strength on the DL!
Vea-Shelton-Street-Garrett-Ogbah-Nassib-Ogunjobi-Orchard
Collins-Kirksey-Shobert
McCourty, Taylor, BBC, Wilson, Jackson, Allen, Peppers, Kindred...
Where is the weakness on this team other than Hue Jackson? Dude better hurry up and jump in that lake before it thaws.

Retooled receiving corps with an outside deep threat and a burner in the slot. Most importantly however, the QB position is finally solved with the most pro ready prospect on the board and a great value project player. Sprinkle in some value picks for the o line and defensive depth and there ya go. 10-6 and a first round victory over the bungles who haven’t won a playoff game since the early 90s.

Suggestions-
1- Barkley
4- Mayfield
Note- It sucks that the Eagles kept winning. That 2nd has quickly became a sub-3rd rounder. It's almost like having 2 firsts, 2 seconds and 2 thirds now.
