    You coming around to the potential of Rosen yet? 

    Yes, believe it or not Tom.   I thought he did well for himself at the combines.  I liked that video you shared with all the nice throws he made that were dropped and the commentary was excellent.  I wouldn't have a problem with him at all if our FO came to the conclusion he's the guy.

    I think so too.  I just dread hearing "FROM PENN STATE...." at the #1 spot.

      I've always had Rosen in my top 3. To have him as our #1 in the draft?  It's going to seriously depend how much weight Dorsey & Company put on his injury history. Those two concussions scare me. Josh is also the least mobile compared to Darnold and Mayfield- he's going to get hit a lot in the pros. I've mentioned he has a tennis player build, do we take him at #1 and watch him turn into another Sam Bradford, great when he's healthy- except he never is?   

      After listening to Cosell, I'm firming up my ranking #1 Mayfield, #2 Darnold, #3 Rosen. Just no to Allen and Jackson. 

      Medicals will be important. 

      Imo he's mobile enough.  It's not like he can't improve pocket mobility/awareness,  his combine measurables were similar to Darnold and mayfield. He's plenty athletic. Mayfield and Darnold aren't significantly faster than Rosen. Rosen needs to be less willing to take hits to deliver passes than he was in college. 

      The pure pocket passers seem to stay on the field more than the mobile ones. I think his game translates better to the NFL then the others.

      All of this is true. Though those concussions concern me. Couple that with Rosen being pretty wise for a young kid. He won’t be the guy turning his brain to paste for the love of the game.

        He's extremely smart. He can figure out how to succeed with his talent, and he can hopefully see the pieces falling into place, and if he's the "Chosen One" who can get them into the playoffs, he'll be established in NFL history as helping to turn this shitshow into a winner, and gets the keys to the city and gets that recognition from everyone about how he did what 25+ other have failed at. It's entirely possible. They gutted the team to make years like this possible. Best case, we get the Cowboys 1-15 type turn around with the #1 QB.

        It's set in motion with getting the draft picks correct this year, and getting some big time free agents. They could possible get a QB, a RB, another edge rusher, and another play maker at WR in the first 2 rounds. I'm so pumped for the draft!

          Rosenbum is a cross between Matt Leinart, Matt Barkley and Jay Cutler.

          That's the negatives of all three...

          best mechanics. pure passer. no way he gets drafted by the Browns. They know better.

            Yeah,  cuz they have a track record of genius moves in the draft.  Stellar record thus far,  especially at qb. They sure know what they're doing. 

            That changes this year.  If they don't take him,  we'll get to see him again and again on the ESPN highlights,  and hear about "for some reason the Browns didn't want a top qb again" 

            An accurate,  pro ready qb with a big arm,  who hits guys in stride, can read defenses,  and play under center.... And has Landry,  Gordon,  njoku,  Duke,  and Coleman to throw to. 

            God forbid! Can't have that!

                I wanted Rosen at #1 until I found out about the concussions.

                Now, I'm all in on Baker Mayfield at #1.

                      It's been pretty well documented the comparisons of Mayfield to Manziel are ridiculous. Sure he's a fiery competitor, and he had the one off field incident. But he's not a barfly like Manziel. a super hard worker instead, smart (if you saw his chalk talk with Marriucci), and the most accurate passer in this draft class. Those "weak arm" arguments have been proven to be BS. I'm seeing the second coming of Drew Brees.

                        Well, I believe we are looking at Mayfield or Allen. Allen has a sky high upside, and will have plenty of time to

                        get his footwork perfected. And, Mayfield will have time to learn the game. All this talk about Mayfield's height -

                        does anybody not know that Brian Sipe was 6'1", 195 lbs?

                        Last year, there were 7 games, maybe 8, that they could have won with a field goal or a TD.

                        flip the talent switch hugely, add a very good OC, and watch the NFL be shocked at the difference.

                          Based on what? 

                          You believe the Browns are looking at the two guys you like based exactly on what?

                            Sipe didn't have guys like JJ watt and Joey bosa and myles Garrett lined up across from him either.

                              We aren't going to draft 250lb OLinemen because the Browns won a title in 1964 with them.

                                We aren't going to draft 250lb OLinemen because the Browns won a title in 1964 with them. 

                                That's what I'm saying.  Different era,  it's irrelevant in modern nfl.

                                  Sipe didn't have guys like JJ watt and Joey bosa and myles Garrett lined up across from him either.

                                  yea but watching a pair of Jacks.. in Hamm & Lambert made Sipe look small..Lambert would make anybody nervous in full stride at your hyde..

                                    Well, I believe we are looking at Mayfield or Allen. Allen has a sky high upside, and will have plenty of time to

                                    get his footwork perfected. And, Mayfield will have time to learn the game. All this talk about Mayfield's height -

                                    does anybody not know that Brian Sipe was 6'1", 195 lbs?

                                    Last year, there were 7 games, maybe 8, that they could have won with a field goal or a TD.

                                    flip the talent switch hugely, add a very good OC, and watch the NFL be shocked at the difference.

                                    Yeah...and the offensive line and defensive line guys were 250 pounds.   Maybe we should draft some linemen that are that small since it worked 35 years ago.

                                      yet Russel Wilson is 5'11", 215.

                                      Drew Brees - 6', 209.

                                      Tyrod Taylor – Buffalo Bills – 6'1"

                                      Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers – 6'2" 

                                      Brian Hoyer – Houston Texans – 6'2"

                                      Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals – 6'2" 

                                      They are still in the NFL, not players from 35 years ago.

                                        Your list is two anomalies - Wilson and Brees, a mediocre starter in Taylor, and three guys that are an inch taller and probably 20-30 lbs heavier than Sipe, two inches taller than Mayfield.

                                          You coming around to the potential of Rosen yet? 

                                          I've always had Rosen in my top 3. To have him as our #1 in the draft?  It's going to seriously depend how much weight Dorsey & Company put on his injury history. Those two concussions scare me. Josh is also the least mobile compared to Darnold and Mayfield- he's going to get hit a lot in the pros. I've mentioned he has a tennis player build, do we take him at #1 and watch him turn into another Sam Bradford, great when he's healthy- except he never is?   

                                          After listening to Cosell, I'm firming up my ranking #1 Mayfield, #2 Darnold, #3 Rosen. Just no to Allen and Jackson.

                                          Right now that's the way I'm leaving. Maybe swap Rosen and Darnold I worry that Rosen is skinny and I don't particularly like the rumors of his attitude but...

                                          My worry about Sam his watching Ohio State hand him his a$$.
