  • Why be mad about it, that #4 pick is going to be worth a shitload to somebody and if they're willing to overpay why not move back a little. 

    That's smart.

    Fair point.  Let me clarify.  "I'm already mad about moving too far back and missing out on the best players of the draft."

    If we trade back, but not TOO far, I can live with it.  Oh, and if we trade back without drafting our QB first, I'll literally go insane.

    Your sanity is safe we are drafting a QB at #1 don’t worry. 

    I’d be happy to go where the bills are now and take Harold Landry if we don’t take Barkley at #4 

  • I like this move, and it's smart and sensible.  

    Now, as far as the draft goes, I have this terrible feeling that it's not going to go like ANYBODY thinks.  I have these fears that we're going to get cute and screw it all up.  Forgive me for my paranoia, but it's not paranoia if it always happens.  In fact, I'd literally bet money that we're trading at least one of our first rounders.  

    And I'm already mad about it.

    We have a completely different front office now, so I wouldn't expect the #1 pick to be traded. That #4 pick is going to be nearly as valuable as the #1 pick because it is likely their will be a run on QBs, leaving just 1 top-tier QB of the 4 when pick 4 rolls around.  Possible teams that would want to pick a QB: Dolphins at 11, Redskins at 13, Cardinals at 15, Chargers at 17,  Bills at 21. If it's the Bills, they will have to give a boatload up to the Browns to move up that high.

  • Someone go round and check on PoG because we know what this means (if we didn’t already)

    Lol ... Yes, this ends the Barkley speculation... definitely a QB at 1, BPA at 4.

  • Put #34 on Hyde’s back and bring back the player he was at Ohio State . Good move by this FO , now tell Joe Thomas to make a decision and move forward 

  • I like this move. They could draft a guy later and go into the season with Hyde, Duke, and mid round pick.

    Hyde and Duke compliment each other her well.

    I could definitely be into that. A CB somewhere in the first would be swell. Getting the bills two first round picks plus some would make that possible.

    If it's the Bills, I'd cry to move back THAT far.  I think that's been our downfall in recent years.  Trade back?  Sure, fine.  But trade back into the 20's?  Ehhhhh

    They are at #12 now after a trade with Cinci

    Bills have the 12  and 22 picks. 

  • Great pickup!

    We basically get a better version of Crowell.

    Now we can go QB #1, BPA #4, or trade with Buffalo and get picks #12 and #22. I'd like to see us take a DB and an OL if we do that

  • "I hear a trade a-comin, rollin round the bend,

    and I ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when"...

    but we're goin to the playoffs, that is plain to see....

    and when we start the season. opponents will be in misery......

    "sigh".

    great moves - this one surprised me. again.

    Hyde can slam a red zone td through the middle.

    The Browns fo knows Ohio State has a football team !!!

  • Initially I wasn't for Hyde, then saw he missed only two games in the last 2 years.    All on board bringing our Bucks home!

  • I wouldn't count on the bills waiting until #4. I think they are going up to #2 or #3 with the NYG or Colts to ensure they get who they want. Especially if the Giants take Barkley at #2, i think it is done deal. If that is the case, then the bills get the second best qb (or "their guy") and don't have to worry. IMOP, if the BIlls offered the giants or colts #12, 22, 53 they would take it in a heart beat. Each team needs so much help and then they would be able to address those issues. This makes #4 very interesting. I'm not sure it will hold as much value as you might think. At this point in the draft, teams know the browns aren't taking a qb and with the Jets signing both McCown and Bridgewater, i'm not sure they are going to take a round 1 qb either; Unless someone falls to them. In addition, it would not surprise me if the broncos wait on a qb as well with the signing of Keenum and address the offensive line. Whom else in the draft NEEDS a qb? Miami, AZ, NO, CIN, NYG, LAC all could draft a qb because their qbs are getting older but they don't necessarily need to take one in the first round. 

    In this scenario I could see the first few picks looking like this:

    1) Browns: Darnold

    2) Bills: Rosen

    3.) Colts: Chubb

    4.) Browns: Fitzpatrick

    5.) Jets: Barkley

    6.) Broncos: Nelson

    7.) TB: James

    8:) Bears: Ward

    9:) 49ers: Tremaine Edwards

    10.) AZ with a trade-up: Allen

    11.) Miami: Mayfield

    12.) Giants: Connor Williams

    What will be interesting is what the browns would do at #4 if Chubb, Barkley and Fitzpatrick are on the board? I went with Fitzpatrick because with the signing of Hyde, I think they wait until the second round to take a rb. Plus, Fitzpatrick offers such versatility in the backfield, that he can play wherever. I believe Chubb would be the pick if he is sitting there, however. Garrett on one side and chubb on the other...Have fun Andy, Ben and Joe!

    Probably means we are trading out of 4 with The Bills for 12 and 22

    There is no reason to trade back. Just take the BPA, we will be far better off doing that that then trading back.

  • Hyde is an upgrade to Ifalldown Crowell but really JAG. Yesterday's FA performance by the Browns was underwhelming to say the least. They really Sheet the bed with perhaps the exception of Hubbard. 

  • Not sure about Fitzpatrick after the Randall trade, he's going to play FS

    how did the browns sheet the bed? FA needs both the player and FO to agree on contracts. Just because the browns have money doesn't mean 1) they should overpay for someone 2) that player x wants to play for the browns 3) the browns actually like the player as much as the media does 4) winning in FA doesn't mean winning on the field

    I think the browns have added talent, spent some money but haven't blown away all their money. They are adding pieces.

    But that's the beauty of having Randall and Fitzpatrick. They are interchangeable. Think about that on a Greg WIlliams defensive front that loves to throw crazy blitzes from all over the place. The browns would have the ability to flip corners/safeties from all directions. It's modernizing today's nfl defenses that are seeing this Arial assault from offenses

    First throw the budgeting the money out the window. They themselves have said they are going to spend away. To assume they aren't going to overpay is simply stupid. A team that with our record is going to overpay for talent plain and simple. As far as not being our fault players couldn't agree to our offers, cowpoop. It's our FO's job to SELL our offer and team. Lastly "winning in free agency doesn't mean winning on the field" , great saying and SOMETIMES true. Overall it's one of those silly pictures that get posted on corporate walls. But hey either way GO BROWNS!! Let's hope they finish FA strong and kill the draft.
