    The only thing wrong is #14 won’t be his number 

  • He was at dinner last night with the Browns......here is a photo taken

    True, but he's also the Wes Welker of QBs; he's taken alot of shots to the dome, so concussions are a worry for me.

    2 concussions in 2.5 seasons = wes welker?

    Point taken; a little bit of hyperbole on my part, but I think you get the gist of my point. Concussions are definitely a concern when it comes to Rosen

    Chubb or Fitzpatrick at 4 and then call it a day.  We already have a RB.  And another one can be drafted in round 2 and be just as productive as history shows.

    Not sure that the Crow, who isn't that good anyway, isn't going to hold us up. And Barkley really might be the best of a good long time. Elite running back really would be nice to have.

    Crows done, steve. We picked up Carlos Hyde. We're going into the season with hyde and duke which sounds fine to me. 

  • darren................So like all prior Browns QB's he is about to be crucified?😛

  • Darnold if he gets the right coaching (which I think Haley will be great for) has the tools to be an elite QB. As has been noted, turnovers are something you can clean up, but the way this kid throws the football is a thing of beauty. It's also something to see how slithery he is to get out of danger. And knowing that we actually have a viable QB to start the season? Not bad at all.

    Also, per a USC Staffer:

    USC staffer: Hey guys, the weather patterns show that it’s gonna start raining right when we’re getting ready to throw. So we’re gonna move everything around, and have you throw before it rains and then have the o-line/d-line workout in the rain.
    Darnold: Why are we doing that?
    USC staffer: Well, so you don’t have to throw in the rain.
    Darnold, looking to Palmer: No, we’ll just throw in the rain, right?
    Palmer: Yeah.
    Darnold: Perfect. I don’t care if it rains. I’m trying to go to Cleveland

    That wind up is nerve racking though, i will admit. You watch rosen's pro day and it's a thing of beauty. TFIW, Rosen looks bulkier too me. He looks as though he has added about 20 lbs of muscle. 

    Wind up? What about the feet? The things he's been trying to change...

    And this is me trying to resolve myself to us taking Darnold at #1...

    They should just trade back and see which QB falls to 22.....

  • Well I just hope they put their heads together and guess correctly. It still seems to me that the consensus is that Rosen is more ready to play in the NFL that the other three. Of course it also seems like a pretty tight race and if he really is reluctant to play for the Browns that might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I almost always have a clear front runner what it comes to quarterback selection and now that we sit on the top of the pile it's not that clear.

    According to NFL.com it's not close at all, where Darnold is rated the best QB prospect for many years.

    http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-position

    Darnold 7.0

    Trubisky 6.3

    Wentz 6.5

    Winston 6.7

    Mariotta 6.2 (Mod edit) 

    Bortles 6.2

    Good to know. Still anything make these guys superior in their evaluations to anybody else?

    For instance what was their top 10 or 20 last year?

    God Bless a sportswriter that ran out of #2 pencils!! The Darnold showed up in baggy azz shorts & a baseball ball cap visor for rain & could still sell oatmeal in TV commercials😆..Sure (by choice) Sam threw to his uncovered WR core..Does not change the scoreboard for Barkley nor Darnold against the Buckeyes..Rosen seemed to outplay Darnold on the field too in a matchup? Than Rosen put a ball cap on..on the sidelines..Sam seems to be the darling QB pick of many..the safest..but many twisters, till draftday

    Well he will have a good relationship with Mary (Kay).😁 

    EDIT: By orders of the "boss" of the house.

  • Notice, though - UCLA had a list of ...13? offensive players available in the draft, most of them seniors....

    and USC has... two? Ronald Jones II, rb, and Deonte Jones, WR. Playing with a bunch of seniors has to

    be a big advantage.

    Deontay Burnett WR 2018 Senior 0
    Sam Darnold QB 2018 Senior 0
    Rasheem Green DT 2018 Senior 0
    Ronald Jones II RB 2018 Senior 0
    Uchenna Nwosu OLB 2018 Senior 0

    It still might be a 2 horse race...we could still go with Josh The Baptist at QB ......later in the draft we could take Herod Landry

    Mason Rudolph had 3 seniors on OL. 3 at WR..Baker Mayfield had jack bo dilly dilly in seniors at any position..1 OL,1 TE..

  • Seeing what the Colts got from the Jets, moving down from #4 should be a strong consideration. 

    LB Tremaine Edmunds, DL Vita Vea, S Derwin James, CB Denzel Ward, DE Marcus Davenport or OT Mike McGlinchy could be our trade down targets.

    We just signed Carlos Hyde for 5 million per year, Crow is gone.   You don't sign Hyde if you're planning on picking Barkley.   There aren't enough carries for both of them.
