All Saquon, all the Time...

Po's faulty premise is there's not going to be any difference between the quarterbacks we'll eventually have ranked on our draft board #1, #2, #3. Even if in the unlikely event we did, we're still going to pick the one we like best. Do you like vanilla or chocolate ice cream better? DUH! The only way to ensure we have our #1 QB is- to take him at #1!!! Not exactly rocket science. Dorsey & Crew aren't going to spend countless hours dissecting the top prospects, and take a chance the guy they really want will be there at #4. This is a decision- if all goes well- that's going to impact the Browns for the next several years- and we have to get it right.
You present Po with a bunch of reasons (dozens of times) why it's damn imperative to take our QB of choice first, and he just keeps spinning away with his Barkley at #1 love.
And he's not the only person on here who thinks that the QBs at top are just interchangeable parts that can easily fit into any system, so take Barkley or Chubb #1 and take whatever QB is left at #4... Like the QBs are new Chevrolet Impalas sitting on the car lot, and even if the red, blue and black Impala gets bought before you get a chance to buy one, you can take the silver one, because at the end of the day you still get a Chevrolet Impala.
The logic behind this is baffling. People really think that after months and months of scouting these QBs the Browns are just going to be all: "You know, they are all perfectly fine for us and whatever one we get, we'll be fine with!"?

I think the idea has been reinforced by a wrongheaded interpretation of what the Jets have done by moving up to a spot where they need to accept the possibility of two of their top QB prospects may be gone by the time they draft.
Folks wrongly think that just because they are prepared to select their #3 QB, that they have no preference among the top three. Give the Jets the #1 overall and they are not going to put three names in a hat and pull one.
So then, this begs the question "why would you take a QB at 1.01 if he's going to just sit all year?" Two reasons:
- The way the draft appears to be playing out, getting the best QB for the team means taking him at the first spot; not settling on who is left.
- The current FO plans to never be this high again, (at least while they are in the FO) so they want to lock up their guy now.
Don't disagree, but I think it's simpler... You need a QB to complete your succession plan and your favorite prospect needs to develop before he's ready to start.

Tour- I really don't want to be mean to Po. We know he's a big fan. BUT- I don't know if I could take someone else running 40-50 pages of thread about Sam, Baker, or Rosen. The only one that's close is Cal's love for Allen- and even he's coming around to the Darnold Idea.
We haven't even scratched the surface yet of the other top 5 running backs it's way more likely we're going to be taking other than Saquon. Hey, when I have the time- that's what I'm going to do. The non-Saquon RB thread. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff on Guice, Chubb, Michel and others..
PS- That's the first Sam tribute video I've actually watched, and he looks damn impressive in it, no? I can see #1 overall.

PO, WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE SAQUON VIDEOS!!! THE FIRST 100 WERE MORE THAN ENOUGH. WE GOT IT. Or do you want me to go one for one posting Sam Darnold tributes? I can do Josh Rosen or Baker Mayfield videos if you prefer....

Pete OG is simply trying to produce his own sequel to Groundhog Day. That's all I can figure out.

I can’t wait until the Browns pass on Barkley at 1 and 4.

Justin Jackson is shaping up to be the steal of this RB class.

He’s a well rounded back who isn’t exceptional at anything I’ve seen. Decent catching the ball, decent blocker, makes decent cuts, not too great fighting through contact, mediocre balance.... but he has been productive at every level, and would be a good 7th round pick.
I’d much rather take a guy like Jackson in the 6th/7th than waste a first rounder on a RB.
