What would you do???
-
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 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
Before that I don't really recall.

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.

All of Po's Barkley threads need to be merged. I'll do it myself when I get around to it. MHO it's worse than his Richardson love.???

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.
