    I'm too new to answer that ?  However, I do believe in not reaching, whether qb or other.  You take the best players available at any position.  And this year, like many, the best player available at 1 is not a qb.  A team needs a Prime Objective.  And that is always, under all circumstances, to get TBPA.  If any GM or coach ever ignores the PO, it is grounds for immediate expulsion.  The long term success of team is what is paramount.

    Prime Objective....or Prime Directive.    Maybe you need to put this post in the Star Trek thread.

        I know hindsight is 20/20 and this we should have drafted him is done every year and it is frustrating we didn't draft that guy. 

        This is somewhat like that, but a little different. Just using the last 3 drafts, with the draft position the Browns had, who would you have drafted.

        Remember if you take someone with the original pick, then don't have the traded assets.

        Reason I am asking, is say you really liked Wentz and Jalen Ramsey, can't have both. So how would you maneuver the draft to make the best team in your mind

        I'm going to take this a little deeper: What I wanted to do versus what the Browns did since 1999:

        I will add PFF DrAV score ... Which is the AV score for the team that drafted him.

        All of my picks would have been available with the Browns original draft pick

          I cannot recall what I would have done as far back as Z has gone....but here are some of my  Choices vs. what the Browns did do:

          2017   Gipper:   Trubisky        Browns:  Garrett

          2016: Gipper: Bosa    Browns:  traded down for Coleman

          2015: 1. Gipper : Shelton   Browns:  Shelton  2.  Gipper Agholor  Browns: Cam Erving

          2014:  1.  Gipper:   K. Mack   Browns:  traded down for Gilbert   2. Gipper:  Bradley Roby   Browns:  JMZ

          2013: Gipper:  Pork Chop Warmack   Browns:  Mingo

          2012:  1.  Gipper Go up and get RGIII    Browns: went up to get Richardson   2.  Gipper:  Whitney Mercilus  Browns: Brandon Weeden

          2011:  Gipper: wanted AJ Green...but he was gone and would have gone for Julio Jones.  Browns:  traded down to get Phil TAylor

          2010: Gipper:   Haden   Browns: Haden

          2009: Before trade...don't recall   After trade:   Gipper:  Clay Matthews III   Browns:  Alex Mack

            Why does it seem like everyone knows who the better pick will be after the fact.  If you poll everyone on this board and ask who will the Browns pick, you'll get many different results.  The GMs had to go with their best picks and consider who will be available in the future.  They didn't think they would be gone in 2 years (like many of our coaches).  I've said it before and I'll say it again, we shouldn't have had more than 4 coaches since '99.  This team would have been much better.  I know what you're going to say, so go ahead and let me have it.

              We were all on here and said who we wanted before the picks. It's a matter of record for us regulars.

              The Browns have just been really. Really bad at drafting, no way around it.

              Coaching stability helps true, we are going that route now ... just changing the picker ... again... hopefully he picks better than the average yahoo on here.

                        But not as bad as his Hogan love.   At least with TR/Barkley....there was a lot of suspected quality talent involved....even if in the case of TR it ended up being disappointing.   With Hogan.....?  There is no rationality whatsoever.
