Apparently Browns “not enamored” with any of the top QBs

I agree. But there’s always a little smoke where there’s fire. On top of that, we don’t need to smokescreen because we have the number 1 pick.
Itd be cool to get a Saquon and Minkah 1 and 4, but again passing on the top QBs? People are going to be furious if it happens.

Not "enamored" with any QB... but willing to take most likely the 2nd best at 4 after a RB?
.... makes sense.

True...it is silly season....but it may also be a true report.
I mean....after all, many of us fan boys have said that WE are not fully enamored of any of these QBs that are coming out. You know what I have said: that this could just be another David Carr/Joey Harrington or Ponder/Gabbert/Locker like draft year as easily as it could be an Eli/Rivers/BR type class.
All I am saying is....if we are not overwhelmed...why should Dorsey et all be overwhelmed?
Fortunately, they are the pros whose job it is to figure it out.....and hopefully the do find the one Cinderella in amongst all the wicked stepsisters.

Agreed. But if they do take a QB later, they better get it right. We have so much money and so many picks, it’s now or never to get his QB schit right

Could be. I just don’t see the angle. What do the Browns get out of spreading misinformation?

Why would they disrespect an entire group of potential QBs before the draft?

I see. You’re saying the report is bogus. I thought you were saying they’re throwing it out that their not enamored for potential leverage in some fashion.
I don’t think it’s bogus, I just think it got leaked as things usually do this year

Ideally, a king's ransom to trade out of the #1.. I read this as Dorsey saying he's open for business.

I don't believe it. I mean, the smokescreen is not only useful for the #1 pick, but also for the #4: You increase the value of the top picks because GMs start asking or ask even more for trading negotiations, and once you have created a market, you can benefit not only if you trade down from #1 but also if you get a QB at #1 and keep #4.
It also makes sense that they mention it now because it might switch other GMs QB acquisition strategy from taking theirs in the draft instead of the Free Agency, where we will probably add a QB. We own the draft market, but not the Free Agency market (though we have more salary cap, it is far from monopolizing)

A bit early for that Nero, but it doesn't hurt to start lighting up the smoke early. Where the big domino (Cousins) falls when free agency starts will have a huge effect on the top ten picks, assuming he lands on a team drafting there, and I'm betting he will.

That would have to be the Browns or Jets..or Broncos. This makes an assumption that the Giants would not be in the market for Cousins. Should we make that assumption? Or should the Gints be considered as part of the Cousins cadre?

You have it Gip. the Giants options as I see it now: (assuming we draft a QB #1)
1) draft Eli's eventual replacement
2) draft Saquon Barkley
3) trade down for more picks at #2, they could wind up with a Wentz level haul if one of the QB needy teams sees a potential franchise QB there
-
There is a real problem with Browns trading #1 pick to a QB needy team. It eliminates another QB which won't be there at #4. Not knowing what the Giants will do and with the possibility of Indy trading their pick also to a QB needy team, put the #4 pick in jeopardy. Way too risky for my blood.
However, keeping #1 and using it on a non-qb would probably be safe enough as long as you have two qbs you would settle for, such as if the Browns would be happy with say Darnold or Allen.

I agree. Plus, it's early in the process.
Not being enamored with any ONE of them doesn't mean we don't like some of them.

It looks like it’s shaping up to be the Vikings, Jets, and Broncos with the Vikings being the most likely suitor.
