    What? Trade down? NO TRADE UP! The BROWNS have a chance for some in demand need players! Skill players QB, WR, RB and needed DBs, sure a stud OL or two might be nice.

    They need people to throw the ball, catch the ball, run the ball, defend on getting toasted deep.

  • The Dallas Cowboys. Yep you heard it hear first. Will take some salary cap magic but Jerry is going to push this. Dak comes to the Browns for a 2nd rounder. 

  • I'll take it. Only a second?

    Nope, not happening. Did Prescott suddenly turn into a bum? PR and media hype doesn't win games.

    If they told me Alex Smith or Prescott for a second rounder- who are you taking?

    Hmmmmm first make believe pick A. Smith then Dak then A. Rodgers 😆

  • So why the change in title? 

    Mods?

  • Kirk Cousins is a 4TH ROUND PICK who has NEVER WON A PLAYOFF GAME.  Nick Foles might cost some picks, but c'mon.

    Not insane at all. There is a time value to money. What is expensive today is a bargain in 3 years. 

    The Jets recognize they need a QB, the Jets recognize if you want the best, you have to pay for it. Otherwise, you are the Cleveland Browns.

    He may be the best FA quarterback this year, but he's not the best Quarterback in the NFL. He's going to get paid like he is though. I'll make the analogy as close as possible. You willing to walk into an Accura dealer, and shell out $80,000 for a RLX when you could have bought a BMW 740i for the same price instead?  Didn't think so. Desperation makes teams do stupid stuff.

    Larry, you do this schidt all the time. He is not going to be the highest paid QB in the NFL. He will be for a short time, the new crop will raise that ante. All Cousins will be, is like one of the first downhill skiers down to course. In first......................temporarily.

    You don't look at what the guy is getting paid now. You look in year 3, 4 or 5, then factoring the time value of money,  by year three a top QB will be signing for 50 million more than Cousins will. That's just how money works.

    Don't worry. The one thing you can count on, the Browns will not do anything dramatic. THey will again try to make safe picks, picks that they can't get criticized for, and then trade down and acquire more "assets". This will be another meaningless draft. Haslam runs the draft.

  • Here we go again..............

    "We are too good for him"

    "We are not going to pay that price"

    "He isn't that good"

    Fukcing idiots. Let's just keep drafting offensive linemen, and second tier Quarterbacks. We can get really good value in the later rounds. Let's stockpile picks and amass assets..................yeah....................... assets that we don't want to pay the price to keep.................... so let's trade our coveted assets down and acquire more schidt

    There is a reason Cousins is attracting the kind's of dollars he is. OFFENSE is the most important part of football. THE QUARTERBACK is the most important part of OFFENSE.

    Browns fans are the only fans in the NFL who cannot get this through their thick fukcing heads.

    But you need offensive lineman for offense.

    The 5 blocks of jello just wont do it.

    The last 3 seasons Cousins has

    19 - 300 yard games

    81 passing TDs

    36 INTs

    13 rushing TDs

    An approximate completion rate of 66%.

    I have no doubts that Cousins could step in and help the Browns win games this season. He is exactly whats missing. Who knows, maybe even reaching the playoffs. Barkley, Cousins, Gordon, Devalve, Njoku, Duke?  Maybe Pryor is back. Thats a respectable lineup if you ask me.

    Staying pat at 1 and 4 is the smart move. 

    Trading the first pick in the 2nd round pick which is basically a low 1st? I might swap 2nds depending who it is and take their 2019 1st if it was a high draft slot team. Tampa, Bears or even the Jets and Colts.

    Often or occasionally take your pick quarterbacks are in playoff games because of their team, defense, coach, a combination of factors. JAX this year? But to go all the way generally requires a good to great field general.....the quarterback.

    The biggest difference I see is Washington prioritized equipping their starting QB with veteran FA WRs that weren't 3 years past their best football such as: Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson, and the T Pryor (WITH experience). 

    IMO, aside from the growing pains of an inexperienced QB - we've had WRs all over the field that didn't look like they knew how to adjust their routes to varying coverage leverages and schemes.  When they're in question just as much as our QBs have looked to be - that's 1 hot mess.  We HAVE to have experience on the perimeter so they can HELP our young QBs get on the same page.  Experience is HUGE in this and every time we change FOs/Regimes - this falls through the cracks.  It breeds mistrust from our QBs and WR chemistries.  Even veteran QBs like McCown, RG3-n-out, and Whitehurst-Coffeetogo were getting killed holding onto the ball too long waiting for somebody in the WR Corp to get open or understand WTF he was doing. We need a FO that knows the difference between a fossil and a veteran FA WR young enough to justify the investment.

    We HAVE to add a veteran FA WR this year IMO. We need some decent experience and role models for whatever rookies we draft.  They can be invaluable at teaching the younger guys inclusive of QBs in the film room during weekly preparations.

    Dorsey was brought to improve the QB position.  Equipping him with the most spending money to spend in FA + the pick of the litter in the draft raises my confidence in his ability to do so.  I think he also got Alex Smith to KC before KC started winning again so he's had experience with this kind of situation we're in somewhat.

  • On a side note the INDIANS are starting a whole slew of drafted, in house developed players most if not all played for the summer (A) ball team in Niles, OH, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers! Yay.

    The BROWNS due to their plethora of recent high picks.....and a good class this year.....might be headed in the same direction. 

    Locked in in house players can be great when sprinkled with a few great FA players, there the secret to the BROWNS being in the playoffs in 2019, maybe 2020.

    Not necessarily. The flaw in that logic is NFL revenue, and by extension the salary cap- is going to be ever expanding at a nice 10% compounded every year. My little calculator says in order to pay a quarterback $200 million three years down the road, that's what it's going to take. Viewership was down again, the league's real cash cow- TV revenue just may decrease proportionately when the contracts come up for renewal. 

    Sure, you can give one guy that humongous contract- at the price of having a J-V supporting cast. The current examples in the Cousins bidding war are Denver will probably have to trade Aquib Talib, or (not gonna happen) Jerry and the Cowboys would have to dump Dez Bryant to fit Kirk under their cap.
