Carlos Hyde is a Brown
-
Finally a move I really like.

Hyde is a legit RB, and never got the credit he deserved. He's been legit in the NFL and has a lot of power and burst like Blount. While i'm happy with this signing, Zombo is right, it all but guarantees we won't take Barkley. Now remains only what we do with the #4 pick.
-
Someone go round and check on PoG because we know what this means (if we didn’t already)
Probably means we are trading out of 4 with The Bills for 12 and 22
-
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.
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

The Bills now have the #12 pick......so, how does that change your thinking?

Report: Browns will still consider drafting Barkley despite signing Hyde
Jack BrowneMar 14 2018, 11:03 AM
The Cleveland Browns reportedly handed a significant contract to Carlos Hyde - $15 million over three seasons - in free agency, but that signing won't eliminate top running back Saquon Barkley from the team's draft board, a league source told ESPN's Pat McManamon.
"Nobody is ruled out," the source said of the Browns' draft board.
Barkley is reportedly in play to be the first running back taken No. 1 overall since 1995. Cleveland owns the No. 4 overall pick too, but it seems unlikely that the former Penn Statestandout will still be available at that spot.

The Browns also have Duke Johnson to pair with Hyde, so adding Barkley could give Cleveland one of the league's most versatile and explosive backfields.

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

And throw Peppers into that mix.

Of course they will say that...they have to. It kind of tells other teams: You want Barkley....give us the sun, the moon, the stars and the deep dark sea.
What team (PoG is not a team) is drooling over getting a RB?
I know...no one wants the Browns to trade the #1.....but Dorsey did say he was open for business.....so we have to somewhat take him at his word.
What would it take to trade out of #1....if someone was creaming in their jeans over getting Barkley?

Exactly....total smoke screen to make teams think we will take him even though there is no chance in hell. If the QB's go 1, 2 and 3 and we are sitting there at 4 with Barkely on the table, I'd expect the phone to be ringing and there's a good chance we would trade back a couple spots.

Usually I roll my eyes at you OSU homers, but I have actually been a fan of Hyde since he was in HIGH SCHOOL, leading Naples High here to the State Championship, I remember telling you Buckeyes you were getting a great talent.
Not a lot of wear on him, definitely an upgrade over Crow ...
But I'm not COMPLETELY writing off Barkley just yet, I think the Browns are definitely giving themselves flexibility to go after BPAs in the draft no matter what the position. Been a long time since we've had depth ... feels weird.

You and Po can hug it out when the Browns don't draft Barkley. Teams don't pay 5 mill per season for a guy to sit on the bench. Factor that with Dorsey never drafts RB's high in the draft and all the Barkley love and the 500000000000 posts about him by a certain person who shall remain nameless was a waste of time.

Better vision than Crow... but lacks availability and acceleration.

Yes, flexibility to go after anyone is correct. You know, like another DE.
I mean, think about it....they could still be angling for Poe as FA for the middle.
So, if you have Garrett, Poe, Ogbah....Chubb....plus Ogunjobi/Brantley/Meder/Nassib?
Could the Browns do this:
Cry Havoc...and Let Slip the Dogs of War!!

Make sure to hold Po really tight when you homos hug it out. He's going to need all the emotional support you can give him.

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.
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.

4Ya gotta admit, 1-31 is a pretty tough sell.
